20110095398 | BIPOLAR SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME - A bipolar semiconductor device includes a collector region that is an n-type low-resistance layer formed in one surface of a semiconductor crystal substrate, an n-type first high-resistance region on the collector region, a p-type base region on the first high-resistance region, an n-type low-resistance emitter region that is formed in another surface of the semiconductor crystal substrate, an n-type second high-resistance region between the emitter region and the base region so as to contact the emitter region, an n-type recombination suppressing region around the second high-resistance region so as to adjoin the second high-resistance region, and a p-type low-resistance base contact region which is provided so as to adjoin the recombination suppressing region, and which contacts the base region. Each of doping concentrations of the second high-resistance region and the recombination suppressing region is equal to or lower than 1×10 | 04-28-2011 |
20110096956 | VEHICLE PERIPHERY MONITORING DEVICE - A vehicle periphery monitoring device is operable to report a high contact possibility between a vehicle and an object at an appropriate time or frequency according to the type of the object. When the object is determined to be a human being and the position of the object in real space is contained in a first contact determination area, a high contact possibility between the vehicle and the object is reported. On the other hand, when the object is determined to be a quadruped animal and the real spatial position of the object is contained in a second contact determination area, the corresponding report is made. The second contact determination area has an overlapped area that overlaps with the first contact determination area, and an overflowed area that has at least a part thereof overflowing from the first contact determination area. | 04-28-2011 |

The semiconductor device simultaneously has improved contact resistance and surface roughness in the ohmic electrode. The semiconductor device comprises an ohmic electrode ( | 08-18-2011 |
20120044352 | VEHICLE PERIPHERY MONITORING DEVICE - Provided is a vehicle periphery monitoring device capable of making a driver reliably recognize the shape of an object to which attention should be paid. According to an image processing unit ( | 02-23-2012 |
20130004021 | VEHICLE PERIMETER MONITORING DEVICE - An imaging means mounted on a vehicle performs imaging resulting in grayscale images having brightness values corresponding to object temperature, and objects around the vehicle are detected from said images. On the basis of said grayscale images, display images to be displayed on a display device mounted on the vehicle are generated and displayed on the display device. The display images are generated by lowering the brightness of areas not corresponding to the objects detected in the grayscale images. The display device is positioned in the vehicle width direction at no more than a prescribed distance away from an imaginary line passing through the center of rotation of the vehicle steering wheel and extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Accordingly, because display images are generated in which only the objects are spotlighted, the driver can quickly comprehend the objects present when using a display device. | 01-03-2013 |
