Abstract: The particulate matter detection sensor includes a conductive part, and the pair of electrodes that are arranged at specified spacing so as to face each other. The conductive part is formed into a plate shape using a conductive material having electrical resistivity that is higher than particulate matter. One major surface of the conductive part functions as an accumulation surface on which particulate matter accumulates. The pair of electrodes are formed on this accumulation surface.

Abstract: A flexible substrate includes a heater portion and a wiring portion. A heater wire is formed in the heater portion. The heater portion is fixed to a transparent window. In the wiring portion, a wiring to the heater wire is formed. The wiring portion extends to a rear side of a casing in a case where a side on which the transparent window is provided in the casing is set as a front side. A fixing member fixes the wiring portion within the casing. A light shielding member is constituted to shield stray light from the fixing member toward a detection unit.

Abstract: A ranging device is configured to emit a transmitted wave and detect a reflected wave from an object illuminated by the transmitted wave, thereby measuring a distance to the object. At least one of the transmitted wave and the reflected wave is transmitted through a transmission window. A heater is configured to heat the transmission window. A controller is configured to control energization of the heater in response to an outside temperature that is a temperature outside the ranging device and a speed of the vehicle.

Abstract: An apparatus which detects particulate matter is provided. This apparatus estimates a volume of water inside an exhaust passage using estimation sections. When an estimated volume of water is larger than a water drainage threshold, an element portion is heated using a heater by the first temperature range controller, in a temperature range which resists water-induced cracking independent of a volume of water droplets. If the estimated volume of water is less than a water drainage threshold, the water drainage determination section determines that the water drainage of the exhaust passage is completed. Additionally, if it is estimated that the water drainage is completed, the element portion is heated by a second temperature controller at temperature lower than a starting temperature of combustion of particulate matter and in order to repel water adhered onto the element portion in a water-repellent temperature range for a predetermined period.

Abstract: A drive control device for two semiconductor elements having a transistor structure and a diode structure with a common energization electrode includes: a current detection device outputting a current detection signal of the semiconductor elements; and a first control device outputting a gate drive signal from when a first time period has elapsed from a starting time to when a second time period has elapsed from the starting time, at which an off-command signal is input after it is determined that a current flows through the semiconductor elements in a forward direction of the diode structure during a time period for which an on-command signal is input to the semiconductor elements. The first and the second time periods are preliminary set not to generate an arm short-circuit between two semiconductor elements.

Abstract: A ranging apparatus is provided which is mountable to a vehicle and includes a transmitter, at least one detector, a light transmissive window, a heater, a snow accumulation condition determiner, a snowfall condition determiner, and a heater controller. The heater works to heat the transmissive window. The snow accumulation condition determiner determines a snow accumulation condition of a surface of the light transmissive window. The snowfall condition determiner determines a snowfall condition around the vehicle. The heater controller works to control energization of the heater depending upon the snow accumulation condition and the snowfall condition. The heater controller stops energizing the heater for a period of time when it is determined that there is neither the snow accumulation on the surface of the light transmissive window nor the snowfall around the vehicle.

Abstract: A ranging apparatus is provided which is mountable to a vehicle and emits a transmit wave and receives a reflected wave arising from reflection of the transmit signal from an object to calculate a distance to the object. The ranging apparatus includes a light transmissive window, a heater, and a controller. The light transmissive window permits at least one of the transmit wave and the reflected wave to pass through. The heater works to add thermal energy to the light transmissive window. The controller uses an ambient temperature outside the ranging apparatus and a speed of the vehicle derived from a vehicle speed sensor to control energization of the heater. When the vehicle speed sensor is malfunctioning, the controller controls the energization of the heater as a function of the ambient temperature without use of the speed of the vehicle.

Abstract: In a LIDAR device, a projector projects scanning light along a preset scanning direction, and a receiver receives incident light from a scan area. An optical window is provided in an opening of a housing that houses the projector and the receiver, where the optical window transmits the light projected by the projector and the light received by the receiver. A heater wire for heating the optical window is provided on a least a projection window that is a projector side area of the optical window. A wire spacing that is a minimum distance between two points on adjacent segments of the heater wire, one on each, is equal to or greater than a width of a beam of the light projected by the projector in a direction connecting the two points.
