  • Publication number: 20240107174
    Abstract: An imaging device includes a hardware processor coupled to a memory. The processor generates a video signal by imaging an observation target in an exposure state according with outside brightness of a vehicle measured by a sensor. The processor sets an imaging mode corresponding to an exposure state to be applied when performing imaging. The imaging mode is set on the basis of the outside brightness and a signal level of the video signal. The processor outputs a video signal obtained by performing imaging in the imaging mode.

  • Patent number: 11246245
    Abstract: In a camera, a circuit board converts light having passed through a lens into an electric signal. A connector connects the circuit board to an outside cable. A shielding conductor surrounds the circuit board. An insulating housing houses the circuit board and the shielding conductor. A connector includes inner, intermediate, and outer connectors. The inner connector includes a first outer skin conductor, and is mounted to the circuit board. The intermediate connector includes a second outer skin conductor supporting a shielding conductor, and is connected to the inner connector and the shielding conductor. The outer connector includes a third outer skin conductor, and connects an outside cable to the intermediate connector.

  • Patent number: 10658643
    Abstract: A positive electrode plate includes a front positive electrode active material layer on a front surface of a positive electrode metal foil, and having a positive electrode large tapered portion that extends at an incline from one edge of the front surface of the positive electrode metal foil at a positive electrode large inclination angle. A negative electrode plate includes a front negative electrode active material layer on a front surface of a negative electrode metal foil, and having a negative electrode large tapered portion that extends at an incline from one edge of the front surface of the negative electrode metal foil at a negative electrode large inclination angle. The positive and negative electrode plates are alternately laminated with a separator interposed therebetween such that each of their front surfaces is oriented in the same direction in the rear-to-front directional axis along the thickness of the plates.

  • Publication number: 20180226687
    Abstract: An electrode assembly is an electrode assembly of a lithium ion secondary battery in which sheet-like positive electrodes and sheet-like negative electrodes are alternately stacked, with bag-like separators interposed therebetween. The area of the first main surface of each of the positive electrodes is smaller than the area of the first main surface of each of the negative electrodes, and the area of the second main surface of each of the positive electrodes is smaller than the area of the second main surface of each of the negative electrodes. The first main surfaces of the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes are opposed to each other, with the respective bag-like separators interposed therebetween, and the second main surfaces of the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes are opposed to each other, with the respective bag-like separators interposed therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20140319967
    Abstract: The oscillation actuator of the invention uses ultrasonic vibrations generated in a stator to rotate a rotor, and a pre-load member causes a 30 MPa contact pressure between the rotor and the stator. Furthermore, a supply body impregnated with oil is provided inside a recess section in the stator, such that the contact section between the rotor and the stator is lubricated by oil supplied from the supply body. As the oil with which the supply body is impregnated, a fluorine-based oil having a kinetic viscosity at 40° C. of VG 400 according to the ISO viscosity classification is selected.
