    摘要: An automotive lamp includes a first lamp unit, a second lamp unit, and a third lamp unit. The first lamp unit illuminates a first region having its longitudinal direction in the horizontal direction and having its upper edge defining a horizontal cutoff line in the low-beam mode and the high-beam mode. The second lamp unit illuminates a second region having its longitudinal direction in an oblique direction inclined with respect to the horizontal direction and having its upper edge defining an oblique cutoff line in the low-beam mode and the high-beam mode. The third lamp unit illuminates a third region having its longitudinal direction in an oblique direction inclined with respect to the horizontal direction and having its lower edge parallel to the oblique cutoff line.

    摘要: A three-dimensional sensor generates multiple items of line data with respect to multiple horizontal lines arranged at different heights. Multiple first neural networks each generate first intermediate data relating to a corresponding item from among the multiple items of line data. Each first intermediate data indicates the probability of matching between the corresponding line data and each of multiple portions of multiple kinds. A combining processing unit receives the multiple items of first intermediate data, and combines the first intermediate data thus received so as to generate at least one item of second intermediate data. A second neural network receives the at least one item of second intermediate data, and generates final data that indicates the probability of matching between the object and each of the multiple kinds.

    摘要: A vehicular washing device includes: a nozzle (4); a flow passage forming body (2) of which an internal space is a flow passage of a fluid; and a valve (21) that has a pressing tube part (22) with an axial direction coinciding with a flow direction of the fluid, is elastically deformable in a direction in which the diameter of the pressing tube part changes, and opens and closes the flow passage according to the state of deformation. A first flow passage (2a) and a second flow passage (2b) are formed as the flow passage on opposite sides of the pressing tube part. A shaft (9) with which the pressing tube part is capable of coming into close contact is located inside the valve. The valve deforms elastically according to the magnitude of the pressure of the first flow passage or the pressure of the second flow passage relative to an atmospheric pressure.

    摘要: A scanning light source includes a semiconductor light source, and scans an instantaneous illumination spot based on the output light of the semiconductor light source in the horizontal direction of the light distribution. A lighting circuit is capable of providing multi-gradation dimming of the amount of light provided by the semiconductor light source at each scanning position in synchronization with the scanning of the scanning light source. The lighting circuit is switchable between the first mode in which the semiconductor light source is controlled by pulse width modulation with a duty cycle that corresponds to the dimming ratio and the second mode in which the semiconductor light source is turned off over the number of cycles that corresponds to the dimming ratio.

    摘要: A condenser lens includes an exit surface divided into a plurality of light controlling surfaces. The exit surface includes a first exit region and a second exit region. The first exit region includes a plurality of first light controlling surfaces arrayed in a predetermined direction. The second exit region is located side by side with the first exit region and includes a plurality of second light controlling surfaces arrayed in the predetermined direction. A border between adjacent first light controlling surfaces and a border between adjacent second light controlling surfaces are out of alignment in the predetermined direction.
