Patent number: 11891089Abstract: A vehicle determines whether or not a passage permit condition of the vehicle according to an instruction content of a traffic light in front of the vehicle is satisfied. If it is determined that the passage permit condition is not satisfied, the vehicle temporally stops in front of the traffic light and transmits an assist requiring signal to a remote facility. A display device of the remote facility displays reference image information indicating shot image information of the vehicle that temporally stops in front of the traffic light. An operator of the remote facility inputs positional information of pixels that make up the traffic light contained in the reference image information. The remote facility transmits assist information including the positional information to the vehicle. Based on the positional information, the vehicle determines again whether or not the passage permit condition is satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yoshiaki Matsuo

Patent number: 11735047Abstract: A management server executes interval adjustment processing to adjust a service frequency of a ride-sharing vehicle group. In the interval adjustment processing, it is judged whether or not a vehicle pair composed of two vehicles in a relationship of a preceding vehicle and a following vehicle includes a stopping vehicle that stops in a pick-up and drop-off point as a following vehicle. Further, it is judged whether or not the vehicle pair corresponds to a separated pair. If it is judged that vehicle pair includes the stopping vehicle as the following vehicle and the said vehicle pair corresponds to the separated pair, selection processing to select an overtaking vehicle is executed. The overtaking vehicle is a ride-sharing vehicle that overtakes with the stopping vehicle to cut into between the separated pair. An overtake instruction is transmitted to the overtaking vehicle selected by the selection processing.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Yoshiaki Matsuo

Publication number: 20220234620Abstract: The vehicle control system is configured to execute autonomous driving and collision avoidance assistance. The autonomous driving is a process in which an ego-vehicle is autonomously driven based on necessary information for traveling including map information and information on a surrounding environment of the ego-vehicle. The collision avoidance assistance is a process in which the ego-vehicle is operated to avoid a collision in response to that a risk of collision of the ego-vehicle with a forward obstacle exceeds a threshold. The vehicle control system is configured to lower the threshold when the ego-vehicle travels, by the autonomous driving, in an area in which either one of an ego-lane and an opposite lane adjacent to the ego-lane is not travelable.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2022Publication date: July 28, 2022Inventor: Yoshiaki MATSUO

Patent number: 8168245Abstract: A coral is washed with purified water or tap water, and a crushed coral is heat-treated. Proteins and other organic matter are incorporated between calcium molecules in the coral skeleton, and the organic matter is decomposed and released as volatile components. In the skeleton from which organic matter is released, a calcium skeleton having a porous structure is formed, and the surface area of pores is increased. A hydrogen gas can be retained in the structure by adsorbing a hydrogen gas to the pores in such a calcium skeleton a porous structure (micropores). The resulting coral powder, with which ions dissolved in water are easily extracted, shows a low oxidation reduction potential when dissolved in water.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2008Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: Solvent Science LaboratoryInventors: Yoshiaki Matsuo, Kokichi Hanaoka, Ryouichi Ohtsubo, Atsuyoshi Murakami, Masahiro Kawano

Publication number: 20110274792Abstract: [OBJECT] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a food supplement in powder form to which hydrogen gas is adsorbed. [SOLUTION] Seashells have a layered structure containing CaCO3 as the principal component before calcination. Conchiolin, a protein characteristic to seashells, is sandwiched between layers to maintain a fixed shape. This protein is not removed under a usual condition. Therefore, it is inferred from analytical results described later as well that a protein-derived hydrogen gas is adsorbed and retained between layers.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2009Publication date: November 10, 2011Applicant: INVESTMENT DESIGN, INC.Inventors: Kokichi Hanaoka, Yoshiaki Matsuo, Ryouichi Ohtsubo, Atsuyoshi Murakami
