Further, a switch is provided between the first power supply system and the second power supply system. During vehicle deceleration, the switch is switched to a disconnected state, whereby the first power supply system and the second power supply system are disconnected. As a result, a generation voltage of the alternator can be raised, enabling an increase in the generation amount, without applying an excessive voltage to the electrical equipment. Hence, the main battery can be charged sufficiently during deceleration, and therefore the alternator can be halted during acceleration and steady travel. Furthermore, by halting the alternator, an engine load can be reduced, and as a result, an improvement in the fuel efficiency of the vehicle can be achieved.08-18-2011

20100219959Leak detector for detecting leak of liquid injected into blood vessel using pulse signal - A leak detector sequentially emits pulse signals toward a human body at a position at which a needle is inserted, detects pulse signals reflected inside of the human body, and measures a time interval between the emission and the detection for each of the pulse signals. The leak detector then calculates the difference between the measured interval and a predetermined time interval, and generates a leak warning for notification when the difference exceeds an acceptable range. Since a swelling on the surface of the human body causes a path of the pulse signal to extend, the leak detector can detect, based on the extended signal path, that the needle has come off a blood vessel.09-02-2010

The apparatus measures the average intensity of the detected light ray in the wavelength band and the intensity of the detected light ray at the particular wavelength to determine an occurrence of leak when the ratio of the intensity at the particular wavelength to the measured average intensity in the wavelength band is lower than a predetermined reference value. Variations in human body or physical condition affect the whole of the wavelength band but have no effects on the relative relationships between the wavelength band and the particular wavelength. Thus, the leak of the liquid can be detected without being affected by variations in human body or physical condition.01-27-2011

20100128978IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM - The image processing apparatus according to the present invention includes a local skin color level calculating section, a local brightness deviation calculating section, and a correction amount calculating section. The local skin color level calculating section calculates, as a local skin color level, a skin color level in a predetermined local region in an image. The local brightness deviation calculating section calculates, as a local brightness deviation, a brightness dynamic range in the predetermined local region. The correction amount calculating section determines whether the predetermined local region is a skin region or not by using the local skin color level and the local brightness deviation.05-27-2010
