For facilitating the driver to visually confirm a positional relation between a specific portion of the target parking position and the vehicle, the parking assist apparatus includes at least one of a polarizing film (8), auxiliary mirror (12), member (22,32) provided on a vehicle mirror and extending in the vehicle lateral direction, transparent portion (42) provided in a passenger-side door, adjusting device (53) that adjusts the direction of the lower edge of the vehicle mirror, irradiating device (74) that radiates a laser, optical-axis adjusting portion (83) that adjusts an optical axis of a headlight of the vehicle.

Abstract: A parking assist system for guiding a vehicle under automatic steering control from a predetermined step position via a turning-direction switching position to a parking target position. With this parking assist system, based upon an operation of a steering wheel by a driver at the predetermined stop position, a parking mode and a parking target position corresponding to that parking mode are determined. And, regardless of the amount of the operation of the steering wheel given at the time of the determination of the parking mode, the vehicle is guided with a correction such that a deflection angle of the vehicle relative to the parking target position may be a predetermined deflection angle, at a corrected switching position nearby the switching'position.

Abstract: A parking assist device detecting a parking stall line from an image, which is captured by a capturing portion; setting a parking target position on the basis of the parking stall line; and assisting the vehicle to travel to the parking target position; the parking assist device includes a vehicle detecting portion for detecting a movement of the vehicle, a memorizing portion for memorizing the movement detected by the vehicle detecting portion, as a vehicle moving trajectory, a temporary parking target position estimating portion for assuming a temporary parking target position on the basis of variations of the vehicle moving trajectory, which has been memorized by the memorizing portion, and a parking stall line searching area setting portion for setting a parking stall line searching area, within which a parking stall line is searched on the basis of the temporary parking target position.

Abstract: A view in front of a vehicle (1) is captured, and the captured imaged is displayed on a display section. At a predetermined stop position (S1), a target parking position (S4) of the vehicle (1) is set based on the captured image. Then, a reverse guidance route (C2) is calculated. The reverse guidance route (C2) is a route located forward of the vehicle (1), in front of the stop position (S1), and lies from a reverse start position (S2), at which the vehicle (1) starts to reverse for parking, up to the target parking position (S4). Based on the captured image, the reverse start position (S2) is set within a predetermined setting area by an instruction of an occupant of the vehicle (1). A forward travel guidance route (C1) from the stop position (S1) to the reverse start position (S2) is calculated, and conditions of movement of the vehicle (1) are detected.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to enable an authorized user to execute a quantum program, without letting the authorized user know the operation contents of the quantum program.

Abstract: The parking assist system assists the maneuvering for moving a vehicle to a reverse start position, then moving it in reverse from the reverse start position to a predetermined parking position in a manner as follows. A parking target setting section sets a parking target position corresponding to the predetermined parking position, based upon a parking reference detected based on image data captured from the scene around the vehicle. A parking path calculating section sequentially calculates a parking path from a present position of the vehicle to the parking target position, in the course of forward movement along a forward path. A parking path determining section determines whether an effective parking path has been established or not, based upon result of calculation by the parking path calculating section.

Abstract: A target parking position setting section (23) is adapted to temporarily set a target parking position (p31, p32, p33) for the vehicle for each parking mode in a predetermined stop position. A parking mode determining section (25) is adapted to determine the parking mode and the target parking position corresponding to the parking mode based on an operation of a steering wheel performed by a driver after the target parking position (p31, p32, p33) is set. A guiding section (29) is adapted to guide the vehicle (1) to the determined target parking position (P3).

Abstract: A sheet ejection device includes: a sheet ejection tray adapted to stack a sheet ejected thereon; an alignment member which aligns a position in a width direction and a direction perpendicular to a sheet ejection direction of the sheet on the sheet ejection tray; and a supporting unit which supports the alignment member so that the alignment member is displaced in a direction intersecting the sheet ejection direction when outer force is applied to the alignment member.

Abstract: Driving assistance is provided to a vehicle driver in a manner that is easy to understand and at a low cost. At a driving assistance device (100), an image processing unit (103) sets a cut-out region within image data photographed by a camera (121) and extracts cut-out image data. A control unit (107) generates information indicating risk to the rear of the vehicle based on the position and speed of other vehicle measured by a distance measuring unit. The image processing unit (103) then outputs information indicating the cut-out image data and the risk to a monitor (123). The image processing unit (103) then moves the cut-out region to a direction in which a vehicle route has changed when a receiving unit (105) receives notification to the effect that the route of the vehicle has changed.
