Abstract

A fuel MS unit (2) acquires, from a fleet MS unit (2), a remainder that is detected by a remainder sensor by sampling at a prescribed interval and sequentially calculates the average value of the most recently sampled remainder and the remainders sampled a prescribed number of times previously. The fuel MS unit (3) calculates a smoothed average value by sequentially correcting the most recently calculated average value to reduce the difference between the most recently calculated average value and the previously calculated average value and detects fuel theft on the basis of the smoothed average value. When it has been determined that refueling has occurred or that fuel has been stolen while an ignition was off, the fuel MS unit (3) uses the uncorrected most recently calculated average value as the smoothed average value.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a visual confirmation status determination device and a visual confirmation status determination system that can easily determine the gaze direction of a measurement subject, using a simple structure. [Solution] A visual confirmation status determination device 1 comprises: an imaging unit 2 that images an eyeball 103 of a measurement subject 100, on which an infrared light from a light source 10 has been shined; and a processing part 3 that determines the gaze direction of the measurement subject 100 on the basis of an imaged image. A camera 20 is positioned in a location that receives reflected light, which is reflected in the opposite direction from the emission direction of the infrared light. The processing part 3 detects, from an image from the imaging unit 2 from while the light is off, a pupil image region P corresponding to reflected light, of light other than the infrared light, in the pupil 104 of the eyeball 103, and detects, from an image from while the light is on, an infrared light reflected light region Q corresponding to reflected light, of the infrared light, from the eyeball 103. If the infrared light reflected light region Q overlaps with the pupil image region P, the processing part 3 determines that the gaze direction of the measurement subject 100 is toward a visual confirmation object 110 that is located on a line of extension in the opposite direction from the emission direction.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a driver state determination device that can divide changes in the autonomic nerve state of a driver during driving into a change caused by an intrinsic factor and a change caused by an extrinsic factor to thereby make determination. [Solution] A driver state determination device 1 comprises: a pulse sensor 3 that detects the heartbeat of the driver; an illuminance sensor 2 that detects an ambient illuminance value; and a computational processing unit 4 that determines the autonomic state of the driver on the basis of heartbeat variation obtained from the results of the detection by the heartbeat sensor 3 and a change in ambient brightness obtained from the result of the detection by the illuminance sensor 2. The computational processing unit 4 determines that the sympathetic nerve of the autonomic nerves has been activated by an extrinsic factor when the heartbeat variation of the driver increases, the ambient brightness changes from a bright condition to a dark condition and thereafter does not change from the dark condition, and the heartbeat variation of the driver starts to decrease. Meanwhile, the computational processing unit 4 determines that the parasympathetic of the autonomic nerves has been activated by an intrinsic factor when the ambient brightness does not change from the dark condition and the heartbeat variation of the driver does not start to decrease.

Abstract

A connector (1) comprises: a housing (10) having a first connecting part (13) and a second connecting part (14); a first cap (20) pivotally supported by the housing (10); a second cap (30) pivotally supported by the housing (10); a first lock (40) pivotally supported in a rotatable manner by the housing (10); and a second lock (50) pivotally supported by the housing (10) in a rotatable manner. The second lock (50) has a power transmitting part (53) that transmits, to the first lock (40), rotational force of the second lock (50) in the locking release direction as rotational force in the locking release direction of the first lock (40) such that the first cap (20) and the second cap (30) integrally displace to an open position.
