  • Publication number: 20210341737
    Abstract: A virtual image is superimposed on a foreground scenery of an occupant. It is determined whether a road condition, for associating a display position of the virtual image with a position of an object in the foreground scenery with respect to a road on which the vehicle travels, is satisfied. The virtual image is generated as a superposing virtual image that presents information by associating the display position with the position of the object when the road condition is satisfied. At least a part of the virtual image is generated as a non-superimposing virtual image that presents the information without associating the display position with the position of the object when the road condition is not satisfied.

  • Patent number: 10857695
    Abstract: A surface treatment method is provided that is capable of raising the slidability of a ceramic surface at low cost using a comparatively simple method. Dimples are formed on a surface of a treatment region, this being a portion of a ceramic surface where surface treatment is to be performed, by ejecting substantially spherical ejection particles having a median diameter of from 1 ?m to 20 ?m, together with compressed gas at an ejection pressure of from 0.01 MPa to 0.7 MPa, so as to achieve a value of a fastest decay autocorrelation length of not less than 10. The dimples are formed so as to have a plan view profile with a ratio between a horizontal Feret diameter and a vertical Feret diameter of from 0.7 to 1.43. Thereby a ceramic surface with improved slidability can be obtained regardless of use or non-use of a lubricant.
