Publication number: 20240120671Abstract: A connector (10) is mounted on a circuit board (CB1) and is to be mated with a connection object (50). The connector (10) includes an insulator (20) and multiple contacts (40). The insulator (20) includes two side walls (21b) and has a rectangular shape. The contacts (40) are attached to the side walls (21b). The contacts (40) each include a mounting portion (41), a resilient portion (43), and a contacting portion (46). The mounting portion (41) is mounted on the circuit board (CB1). The contacting portion (46) is configured to contact a connection object (50) while the connector (10) and the connection object (50) are mated with each other. The resilient portion (43) is located between the mounting portion (41) and the contacting portion (46) and is resiliently deformable. The resilient portion (43) and the insulator (20) define a space therebetween.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Munenobu YOSHIDA, Yo KITAMURA

Publication number: 20240106989Abstract: A surrounding information acquisition unit is configured to acquire surrounding information around a subject vehicle. A vehicle speed acquisition unit is configured to acquire a subject vehicle speed. A display control unit is configured to cause a display device to display a surrounding image indicating the surrounding information and a subject vehicle image indicating the subject vehicle. The display control unit is configured to, when the subject vehicle speed is low, set a display scale to telescopic and cause the display device to display the surrounding image and the subject vehicle image. The display control unit is configured to, when the subject vehicle speed is high, set the display scale to a wide angle and cause the display device to display the surrounding image and the subject vehicle image.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Masafumi NOHARA, Haozhou LI, Taro KOBAYASHI, Asaki UMEZAWA, Yo KITAMURA, Jinhae CHOI

Patent number: 10752113Abstract: Present application discloses display apparatus including: display panel having display surface to display image; and overlaid member overlaid on display surface. Overlaid member partitions display surface into inner region at least partially surrounded by overlaid member, and outer region situated outside overlaid member. Image contains inner and outer images displayed in inner and outer regions. Display panel includes signal generator for generating first image signal for changing content of the inner image displayed in inner region in response to first switching signal outputted from first switch. Signal generator generates second image signal for changing content of the outer image displayed in outer region in response to second switching signal outputted from second switch which is more distant from steering wheel than first switch.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Yo Kitamura, Hado Morokawa, Seiji Hisada
