Abstract:
A hybrid vehicle (1) includes a battery (10-1), a motor-generator (32-2) operable to produce driving force using electric power of the battery (10-1), a charger (28) operable to charge the battery (10-1) by means of an external power supply, and an ECU (40). The ECU (40) stores a given parameter used in battery model expressions. The parameter varies according to the status of the battery (10-1). During running of the hybrid vehicle (1) and during charging of the battery (10-1) with the external power supply, the ECU (40) collects data related to the status of the battery (10-1), corrects the parameter based on the data, and calculates a value of charging rate (SOC) of the battery (10-1). The ECU (40) controls charge/discharge of the battery (10-1), based on the calculated SOC value.
Abstract:
When it is determined by a determining portion (54) that the SOC of a first auxiliary power storage device (BB1) has reached a first lower limit value (TL), a switching control portion (56) generates a switching signal (SW) to switch from the first auxiliary power storage device (BB1) to the second auxiliary power storage device (BB2). A SOC estimating portion (52) measures the OCV for the first auxiliary power storage device (BB1), for which it has been determined that the SOC has reached the first lower limit value (TL) and has thus been disconnected, and estimates the SOC of that first auxiliary power storage device (BB1), based on that measured OCV. If the estimated SOC is higher than the first lower limit value (TL), after the SOC of the second auxiliary power storage device (BB2) has reached the first lower limit value (TL), the switching control portion (56) generates a switching signal (SW) to switch from the second auxiliary power storage device (BB2) to the first auxiliary storage device (BB1).
Abstract:
A to-be-called side device includes an alcohol drinking state check means for performing an alcohol drinking state check of a user, a peripheral state obtaining means for obtaining peripheral states by sound and image to keep an illegal communication as to the check performed between a person who monitors the check and the user as evidence, a temporary record continuation means for continuing the temporary record of the peripheral states obtained by the peripheral state obtaining means, and a pre-check/post-check record means for recording the peripheral state for 10 minutes before the check and the peripheral state for 10 minutes after the check in the respective checks, wherein the pre-check/post-check record means obtains the record of the peripheral state at least before the check from the record by the temporarily record continuation means in the record of the peripheral states for 20 minutes before and after the check.

Abstract:
In order to match a setting of a function requested for execution with the ability of the apparatus itself, a proxy MFP includes a window request reception portion to receive from a requestor MFP a transmission request for a setting window for setting a parameter necessary to execute a prescribed function, an ability information obtaining portion, a setting parameter obtaining portion and a restriction obtaining portion to receive prescribed information related to the requestor MFP, a determination portion to determine a range of parameter that can be set to execute a prescribed function, based on prescribed information received from the requestor MFP, a setting window transmission portion to transmit the determined range to the requester MFP, and an execution portion to execute a prescribed function according to a parameter received from the requestor MFP.
Abstract:
In an image reading apparatus having an image reading device which reads a document to output an image data thereof, and an image processor which performs a processing of interest on the image data received from the image reading device, a decision device decides whether the image data should be processed by the image processor or not. When the image data should be processed by the image processor, a transmission device transmits the image data subjected to the processing of interest by the image processor, otherwise it transmits the image data not subjected to the processing of interest by the image processor.
Abstract:
This image processing device for games is a device whereby a prescribed number of models (characters) are set up in virtual space, these models are controlled such that they move in prescribed directions in the virtual space, and images of this virtual space from a virtual viewpoint are displayed on means for display. In order to display the movement of the models that are arranged in virtual space more realistically, in one construction thereof, this device is provided with means for image processing that apply virtual centripetal force to the models. Furthermore, in order to display the movement of the models more realistically and to heighten the dramatic effect, in one construction thereof, this device is equipped with means for processing residual image presentation in order to represent the track of movement of a model as residual images. This means for processing is equipped with means for storage that store without modification motion data of the model prior to the current motion and with means for display control that display this stored data together with the current motion data.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus can communicate with a server in which an application program is installed so as to be executable. The information processing apparatus includes a browsing portion to display a screen received from the server. If receiving from the server a setting screen for setting an execution condition for executing the application program, the browsing portion allows the server to execute the application program in accordance with the execution condition set in the setting screen. The information processing apparatus further includes a style sheet reception portion to receive a style sheet corresponding to the application program from the server, a process execution portion to execute a prescribed process, a display control portion, if the process execution portion produces display information to notify a user as a result of executing the prescribed process, to display a first display screen including the display information, and a screen generation portion to generate a second display screen based on the display information and the style sheet, if the display information is produced. While the screen received from the server is being displayed by the browsing portion, the display control portion displays the second display screen in place of the first display screen.
Abstract:
A USB memory stores, as function information, a function of processing a document and a place where the document is registered. An MFP includes a read unit for reading function information from the USB memory inserted into the MFP, a specifying unit for specifying required information from among the function information, an acquisition unit for accessing a server with the use of the specified information to acquire a target document to be processed, a setting unit for making a setting for performing a PullPrint function, which corresponds to the aforementioned function, with the use of the information, and a print control unit for executing a process for printing the acquired document on the basis of the setting made by the setting unit.
Abstract:
In a hepatic disease-evaluating apparatus, an indicator calculating unit calculates an index indicating the degree of hepatic fibrosis from amino acid concentration data to be evaluated including amino acid concentration value, based on one or more indices of fractional expression having amino acid concentration as variable. A disease state evaluating unit evaluates the disease state of the hepatic disease to be evaluated, based on the index value.
