20110102196PARKING SUPPORT DEVICE - A parking support device capable of reliably supporting a parking driving operation by a driver, comprising an image acquisition portion for acquiring an image peripheral to a vehicle captured by a vehicle-mounted image pickup device; an image display portion for displaying the peripheral image; and an indicator output portion for superimposedly displaying an indicator, comprising a pair of left and right vehicle width extension lines extending rearwards of the vehicle, on the peripheral image in order to guide a driver during a parking operation by the driver. The parking support device supports parallel parking, comprising a first turning step, in which the vehicle is reversed while being turned and driven into a parking area, and a second turning step, in which the vehicle is aligned in a parallel direction while being turned in a direction opposite to that in the first turning step. The indicator output portion superimposedly displays, during the second turning step, only the vehicle width extension line that is on an outside of the turn.05-05-2011

20100219010PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS - A parking assist apparatus includes a guidance mode setting portion specifying a forward turning guidance controlling portion to perform a control when determining that a direct guidance control for driving a vehicle rearward to a target parking position without once driving the vehicle forward is unachievable. The forward turning guidance controlling portion includes an auxiliary guidance controlling device generating an auxiliary guidance path and driving the vehicle rearward by an automatic steering along the auxiliary guidance path and a guidance possibility determining device determining whether or not the vehicle is directly guided rearward to the target parking position based on a position and a steering angle of the vehicle while the vehicle is moving forward by a manual steering. The forward turning guidance controlling portion includes a final guidance controlling device guiding the vehicle to the target parking position.09-02-2010
20100231417PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS - A parking assist apparatus includes a target parking position setting portion specifying a target parking position, a trigger establishment determining portion determining whether or not a parking operation is started by a driver for the vehicle based on a shift position of a shift lever provided at the vehicle and a steering displacement of a steering wheel provided at the vehicle, a parking path calculating portion starting a calculation of a path from an own vehicle position of the vehicle to the target parking position in a case where the trigger establishment determining portion determines that the parking operation is started by the driver, and an informing portion informing the driver that it is achievable for the vehicle to be guided to the target parking position in a case where the path from the own vehicle position to the target parking position is generated by the parking path calculating portion.09-16-2010
20110069169VEHICLE PERIPHERAL DISPLAY DEVICE - The device is provided with an image acquisition unit for acquiring a peripheral image of a vehicle, the peripheral image being captured by an image pickup device provided to the vehicle; a display device for displaying the peripheral image, the display device being provided inside a vehicle cabin; and an indicator line output unit for causing an indicator line as a guide for a driver during a driving operation to be displayed superimposed on the peripheral image, at least one of a shadow portion and a side surface portion adjacent to the indicator line being added to the indicator line.03-24-2011

20090303080PARKING ASSIST DEVICE - A parking assist device comprises an image obtaining portion for obtaining a surrounding image of a vehicle, a display controlling portion for displaying the surrounding image and a pair of vehicle width extended lines on a displaying device provided at an interior of the vehicle in such a way that the pair of vehicle width extended lines is superposed on the surrounding image, the vehicle width extended lines serving as indicative lines for notifying a driver of a width of the vehicle and a stall line detecting portion for detecting a pair of stall lines indicating a parking stall, wherein, when the pair of the stall lines is detected, the display controlling portion changes a distance between the vehicle width extended lines corresponding to a distance between the stall lines.12-10-2009
20100049401PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS - A target parking position setting section (02-25-2010
20100089677PARKING ASSIST APPARATUS - A view in front of a vehicle (04-15-2010
20100106372PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM - A parking assist system for guiding a vehicle under automatic steering control from a predetermined step position via a turning-direction switching position to a parking target position. With this parking assist system, based upon an operation of a steering wheel by a driver at the predetermined stop position, a parking mode and a parking target position corresponding to that parking mode are determined. And, regardless of the amount of the operation of the steering wheel given at the time of the determination of the parking mode, the vehicle is guided with a correction such that a deflection angle of the vehicle relative to the parking target position may be a predetermined deflection angle, at a corrected switching position nearby the switching'position.04-29-2010

20100086348METHOD OF JOINING CABLE RACKS, AND A SPLICE PLATE - Disclosed is a technique of joining two cable racks together in a longitudinal direction thereof. A splice plate is used which has two insertion holes each formed at a position corresponding to a first one of two joint holes in each of adjacent ends of each of two longitudinally-aligned pairs of primary beams of two cable racks, and two lock protrusions each formed at a position corresponding to the other second joint hole, in a manner engageable with the second joint hole. The adjacent ends of the longitudinally-aligned pair of primary beams are joined together by means of engagement between the lock protrusions of the splice plate and the second joint holes of the adjacent ends of the longitudinally-aligned pair of primary beams, and fastening between two bolt and two nuts through the first insertion holes and the insertion holes of the splice plate. Thus, two cable racks can be joined together by performing a bolting operation only at a single position in each of the adjacent ends of the longitudinally-aligned pair of primary beams. This makes it possible to reduce by half a time of joining operation while suppressing a trouble in the joining operation.04-08-2010

20090213308Liquid crystal display device - Provided is a liquid crystal display device which has a structure, in which a light shielding film is disposed on a color filter substrate corresponding to a position facing a TFT, and among a plurality of colored layers which form the color filter, a blue-colored layer and colored layers of colors other than blue are laminated on the light shielding film. With the structure as described above, the laminated colored layers reduce light which enters the TFT, and hence a leak current of the TFT can be prevented from occurring. Accordingly, a contrast or display quality of the liquid crystal display device can be prevented from deteriorating.08-27-2009
