Abstract

This vehicular defogging device, which suppresses fogging of windows of a vehicle (70), comprises an electric heater (3), a front blower unit (751), side blower units (752, 753, 755, 756), and a control unit (4). The electric heater is provided on a front window (71), and heats the front window to defog the front window. The front blower unit blows air onto the front window to defog the front window. The side blower units (752, 753, 755, 756) blow air onto side windows (72, 72a to 72d) to defog the side windows. Then, when the electric heater is heating the front window, the control unit increases a defogging capability (P2) per unit surface area of the side windows due to blowing of air so as to be greater than a defogging capability (P1) per unit surface area of the front window due to blowing of air.

A learning unit (23, 53) performs machine learning by associating learning data with the deterioration state of the inverter elements or the inverter peripheral elements and creates a learned model. A failure prediction unit (34, 54) checks data obtained by frequency-analyzing inverter current against the learned model.

Abstract

In order to enhance safety of contactless power supply, a reception apparatus outputs a transmission request signal that requests a power transmission, and a transmission apparatus that receives the transmission request, performs a power transmission using magnetic coupling to the reception apparatus for a predetermined transmission period. After the transmission period ends, the transmission apparatus changes the state to be a transmission state of which a transmission quantity is lower than that in the transmission period. Such a transmission state is a state where the power transmission is cutoff, or a state where the power transmission is performed with a transmission quantity lower than that of the transmission period.

Abstract

An autonomous driving ECU functions as an autonomous driving control device for controlling the traveling of a host vehicle (Am) according to an autonomous driving function. When an emergency vehicle (Ae) approaching the host vehicle (Am) is recognized, the autonomous driving ECU stops the host vehicle at an avoidance position (Ki) for avoiding the emergency vehicle (Ae). Furthermore, after detecting that the emergency vehicle (Ae) is away from the host vehicle (Am), the autonomous driving ECU ascertains whether another vehicle (Ao) stopped around the host vehicle (Am) has started moving. The autonomous driving ECU then causes the host vehicle (Am) to set off from the avoidance position (Ki) on the basis of the start of movement of the other vehicle (Ao).

Abstract

A main element 5 controls current flowing through a wire harness 4, and a current corresponding to the current flows through a sense element 6. A detection resistor 7 generates a sense voltage corresponding to the current flowing through the sense element 6. A charge/discharge circuit 24 charges and discharges a capacitor 42 on the basis of the sense voltage. A charge/discharge control unit 46 forcibly switches the charge/discharge circuit 24 to a discharge state when a charge state continues beyond an upper limit value. An integration circuit 48 integrates a multiplication signal obtained according to the voltage during discharging of the capacitor 42, and a subtraction circuit 49 subtracts a subtraction value corresponding to the heat dissipation characteristics of the harness 4 from the integration result. A control circuit 12 cuts off the current flowing through the harness 4 when the value subtracted by the subtraction circuit 49 exceeds an integration threshold value corresponding to the heat generation characteristics of the harness 4. When switched to the discharge state, the charge/discharge control unit 46 integrates a cutoff acceleration value instead of the multiplication signal.
