Abstract

An angle error estimation device (7) calculates, with respect to each of a plurality of stationary objects detected, and on the basis of object detection information and moving trajectory information, a moving direction indication value indicating a moving direction of the stationary object as viewed from a mobile body (VH1) on the assumption that the mobile body is moving straight ahead, for each of observation angles at which radar devices (3, 4) observe the stationary object. The angle error estimation device classifies a plurality of moving direction indication values according to each of a plurality of observation angles, and calculates, as a moving direction average value, an average value of the plurality of moving direction indication values classified by the observation angle, for each observation angle. The angle error estimation device calculates an angle error for each observation angle on the basis of an average moving trajectory, which is calculated on the basis of a plurality of moving direction average values for each observation angle, and a reference moving trajectory that is set as a moving trajectory of the stationary object in a case where there is no angle error.

A confidential code (CdS) is an information code that records information using an array of light-colored cells (Cew) and dark-colored cells (Ceb). A code formation method for forming this confidential code (CdS) on a part (BM) to be marked includes a light-emitting layer formation step and a laser marking step. In the light-emitting layer formation step, a coating agent containing a reactive paint that emits light in response to invisible light is applied to the part (BM) to be marked to form a light-emitting layer (50) that includes the formation area (CA) of the confidential code (CdS). In the laser marking step, the portions of the light-emitting layer (50) corresponding to the dark-colored cells (Ceb) are irradiated with laser light to weaken the light-emitting function of the dark-colored cells (Ceb) as compared to that of the light-colored cells (Cew).

Abstract

Main cells that constitute a semiconductor element having a trench gate structure include first cells, and second cells having a structure in which gate insulating films are more easily broken by energization than those in the first cells, and the number of which is smaller than that of the first cells. At a time of driving the semiconductor element, a common gate drive voltage is applied to gate electrodes of the first cells and the second cells. An electrical characteristic is measured to detect failure of the second cells due to energization at the time of driving. The gate electrodes of the failed second cells are electrically isolated from the gate electrodes of the first cells so that the gate drive voltage is not applied to the failed second cells. The failure of the first cells is predicted based on the failure of the second cells.

Abstract

In a vehicle headlamp control apparatus, a light distribution control section controls light distribution of a headlamp based on a detected light control target object ahead of a vehicle and a detected behavior of the vehicle or an expected change thereof. When the behavior is in a first behavior state in which a change in the headlamp irradiation area becomes equal to or less than a predetermined amount or the behavior is expected not to change from the first behavior state, the light distribution control section causes the headlamp to project light in a standard pattern. When the behavior is in a second behavior state in which the change in the headlamp irradiation area exceeds the predetermined amount or the behavior is expected to change to the second behavior state, the light distribution control section causes the headlamp to project light in a pattern different from the standard pattern.

A silicon carbide single crystal is grown on the surface of a seed substrate by a gas method so that a temperature gradient in the radial direction of the seed substrate takes a predetermined value or lower during the growth. The area of regions T1 to T4, where regions R1 to R3 of a basal plane whose shear stresses exceed critical resolved shear stress, and regions S1 to S4 of a prismatic plane whose shear stresses exceed critical resolved shear stress overlap, is less than a half of the area of a crystal growth surface. Furthermore, the area of the regions T1 to T4 is smaller than the area of regions V1 to V4 where a region R4 of the basal plane whose shear stress does not exceed the critical resolved shear stress overlaps the regions S1 to S4.

When performing a normal 2-phase drive for driving the motor (10) using normal 2 phases when the disconnection failure occurs in one phase of the 3 phases, the drive control unit (55) performs pre-start preparation processing for performing energization with a pattern different from an energization pattern to an energization holding phase that is an energization phase at the starting of the normal 2-phase drive and then energizing the energization holding phase.

Abstract

A message control device according to one aspect of the present disclosure comprises: a control unit (11) that generates a message which includes the position of a target detected by a sensor and a message which indicates the reliability of information pertaining to the orientation of the sensor; and a communication unit (15) that transmits the messages. This makes it for a device that has received these messages not to use the position of the target included in the message for target position inference when the reliability of the information pertaining to the orientation of the sensor included in the message is low. Thus it is possible to suppress incorrect target position inference.

Abstract

A pedal lever (20) operates in accordance with a depressing operation. A drive source (31) is energized to generate a drive force. A power transmission mechanism (40) includes an actuator lever (45) that abuts on the pedal lever (20) at a lever abutment point (Pc), and transmits the drive force of the drive source (31) to the pedal lever (20) to provide a reactive force which is a force in the opposite direction from the depressing direction of the pedal lever (20). Depression amount detection units (29, 49) detect the amount of depression of the pedal lever (20). A control unit (60) includes a drive force computation unit (61) that calculates the drive force output from the drive source (31), and controls the driving of the drive source (31). The drive force computation unit (61) computes a drive force corresponding to a target reactive force (F*), on the basis of the depression amount.
