  • Publication number: 20240362434
    Abstract: A display control system includes a first wireless device attached to a management target and storing first identification information for identifying the management target, a second wireless device installed at a predetermined position and storing second identification information, a reading apparatus, at least one processor, and at least one memory. The processor and memory are configured to estimate a located position of the management target based on reading results of the first identification information at a first reading time and the second identification information at a second reading time and cause a display apparatus to display an estimated area within which the management target is estimated to be located based on the located position. A magnitude of the estimated area is based on an amount of movement of the reading apparatus between the first reading time and the second reading time.

  • Publication number: 20240336260
    Abstract: A running control device for a vehicle comprising a lane information acquisition device and an electronic control unit that performs a running control in which a target steering angle for bringing a lateral position of the vehicle with respect to a lane to a target position is calculated and an automatic steering device is controlled so that a steering angle becomes the target steering angle, and is configured to calculate a lane curvature based on lane information, calculate an estimated lateral acceleration of the vehicle based on the lane curvature, obtain information about a lane cant in front of the vehicle, and calculate an estimated cant lateral acceleration based on the lane cant, and perform no running control when a magnitude of the estimated lateral acceleration of the vehicle which is corrected by subtracting the estimated cant lateral acceleration exceeds a determination reference value.

  • Patent number: 11316078
    Abstract: An optical wavelength converter (1) is configured such that an optical wavelength conversion member (9) is bonded to a heat dissipation member (13) having superior heat dissipation property. Thus, heat generated by light incident on the optical wavelength conversion member (9) can be efficiently dissipated. Therefore, even when high-energy light is incident on the optical wavelength converter, temperature quenching is less likely to occur, and thus high fluorescence intensity can be maintained. An intermediate film (21) is disposed between a reflective film (19) and a bonding portion (15). The presence of the intermediate film (21) improves the adhesion between the reflective film (19) and the bonding portion (15), thereby enhancing the heat dissipation from the optical wavelength conversion member (9) to the heat dissipation member (13). Thus, the temperature quenching of the optical wavelength conversion member (9) can be prevented, thereby enhancing fluorescence intensity.

  • Patent number: 10727378
    Abstract: An optical wavelength conversion member and a light-emitting device including the optical wavelength conversion member. The optical wavelength conversion member (9) is formed of a ceramic sintered body having a fluorescent phase containing fluorescent crystal grains as a main component and a translucent phase containing translucent crystal grains as a main component. Crystal grains of the fluorescent phase have a composition represented by formula A3B5O12:Ce, where the element A is selected from Sc, Y, and lanthanoids (except for Ce), and the element B is selected from Al and Ga. In the optical wavelength conversion member (9), 0.3<a<34 and 300 ?m<y<1,050 ?m are satisfied, wherein a represents the area ratio of the translucent phase to the fluorescent phase in a cross section of the optical wavelength conversion member (9), and y represents the interfacial length of the fluorescent phase.
