  • Patent number: 9118229
    Abstract: An electric drive unit includes an inverter, a stator that receives an AC current from the inverter and forms a magnetic field, a rotor rotated by the magnetic field formed by the stator, a shaft that protrudes into both sides in an axial direction of the rotor and moves in synchronization with the rotor, an inverter casing that stores the inverter in a galvanic isolation state, and a motor housing. The motor housing stores the stator and the rotor in a galvanic isolation state, rotatably supports one end of the shaft using a first bearing, and rotatably supports the other end of the shaft using a second bearing. The inverter and the inverter casing are arranged in an inner side from a pair of bearings including the first and second bearings.

  • Publication number: 20150234044
    Abstract: A collision determination device includes: a radar detection unit that detects an object in front of a vehicle using a radar wave; an image detection unit that captures an image in front of the vehicle and detects the object using the captured image; and a collision determination unit that determines a collision between the vehicle and the object based on a composite target which is generated using a detection result of the radar detection unit and a detection result of the image detection unit. The collision determination unit performs collision determination on the basis of the detection result of the image detection unit, instead of the collision determination based on the composite target, when it is determined that the object cannot be detected by the radar detection unit and can be detected by the image detection unit and the object is stationary in a traveling direction of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20150235411
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus analyzes an importance distribution in a render target range for which a three-dimensional scene is to be rendered in a perspective for generating a map for use in rendering the three-dimensional scene. The apparatus acquires eigenvectors of the importance distribution by performing principal component analysis on the distribution. In a case where the eigenvectors of the distribution satisfies a predetermined condition, the apparatus rotates the importance distribution such that a direction defined by the eigenvector is to be a predetermined direction, and determines the number of pixels assigned to each partial region based on the rotated distribution.

  • Publication number: 20150232341
    Abstract: The present invention performs special heat treatment on a polymer film in a temperature range from (i) a lower limit to temperature rise being equal to or higher than a starting temperature of thermal decomposition of the polymer film, i.e., which is a temperature observed at an early stage of the thermal decomposition of the polymer film, to (ii) an upper limit to temperature rise being equal to or lower than an intermediate temperature of thermal decomposition of the polymer film. This reduces foaming in the film during graphitization treatment following the special heat treatment. Thus, even with a higher heating rate for graphitization, it is possible to produce a graphite film having good quality.

  • Publication number: 20150237272
    Abstract: A CMOS image sensor has an image array as a matrix of unit pixels each including at least a photodiode, a memory for holding a charge stored in the photodiode, a floating diffusion region for converting the charge in the memory into a voltage, a first transfer gate for transferring the charge from the photodiode to the memory, a second transfer gate for transferring the charge from the memory to the floating diffusion region, and a resetting transistor for resetting the charge in the floating diffusion region. The unit pixels are driven to set the potential of a potential barrier at a boundary between the memory and the floating diffusion region to a potential such that a charge overflowing the memory is transferred to the floating diffusion region, when the first transfer gate is turned on. The CMOS image sensor operates in a global shutter mode for capturing moving images.
