  • Patent number: 11210955
    Abstract: A collision avoidance assist apparatus is provided with: a determinator configured to determine whether or not one lane on which a host vehicle drives is inner than another lane that extends along the one lane and that a moving body exists, in a curve section, if there is the curve section ahead in a travel direction of the host vehicle; and a changer configured to change an operating condition for a collision avoidance operation such that a first condition, which is the operating condition in a first case in which it is determined that the one lane is not inner than the other lane in the curve section, is more easily satisfied than a second condition, which is the operating condition in a second case in which it is determined that the one lane is inner than the other lane in the curve section.

  • Patent number: 10602892
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a toilet apparatus includes a toilet bowl, a base plate, a cover plate, and a toilet seat. The base plate is provided on a rear part of the toilet bowl. A washing function part washing an ano-genital region of a human body is mounted on the base plate. The cover plate is provided on the base plate. The cover plate covers the washing function part from above. The toilet seat is provided on the toilet bowl. The toilet seat is pivotally rotatable to the toilet bowl. In a state where the toilet seat is lowered, the toilet seat is positioned in a projection range where the toilet bowl is projected upward, and covers the cover plate from above.

  • Publication number: 20190308618
    Abstract: A driving support apparatus is provided with: an executor configured to perform a collision avoidance assist control, on a first vehicle; an acquirer configured to obtain surrounding information including information about a second vehicle, which has a possibility of colliding with the first vehicle, and information about a third vehicle, which has a possibility of colliding with the second vehicle; a predictor configured to predict whether or not the second vehicle changes a travel aspect due to a presence of the third vehicle, on the basis of the surrounding information; and a controller programmed to control the executor not to perform the collision avoidance assist control if it is predicted that the second vehicle changes the travel aspect, and to control the executor to perform the collision avoidance assist control if it is predicted that the second vehicle does not change the travel aspect.

  • Patent number: 10073128
    Abstract: A leak detection device includes a pulse signal outputting portion that outputs predetermined pulse signals to a positive connecting wire connected to a positive side of a battery and a negative connecting wire connected to a negative side of the battery. A response waveform detecting portion of the leak detection device detects a positive response waveform for the pulse signal output to the positive connecting wire and a negative response waveform for the pulse signal output to the negative connecting wire. An amplitude ratio calculating portion calculates an amplitude ratio based on the positive response waveform and the negative response waveform, and a leak detecting portion detects a leak between the battery and a ground based on the amplitude ratio.
