    Abstract: A diagnostic function of a humidity sensor is exposed to the outside and the humidity sensor is likely to deteriorate.
    An aspect of the present invention includes: a capacitance-voltage conversion circuit which includes a plurality of reference capacitors having different pieces of capacitance and a switch which switches the reference capacitors and outputs a voltage according to the capacitance of a humidity sensor; and a diagnosis unit which compares an output voltage of the capacitance-voltage conversion circuit with a reference voltage obtained from a reference characteristic of the humidity sensor and diagnoses the humidity sensor based on a comparison result. Also, the diagnosis unit changes the output voltage by changing the capacitance of the capacitance-voltage conversion circuit using the switch in a state in which the output voltage of the capacitance-voltage conversion circuit is within a certain range and compares the changed output voltage with the reference voltage.

    Abstract: In a vehicle, GV control and M+ control are executed by generating braking/driving forces from a brake hydraulic pressure control device and a drive device during steering. A controller estimates (calculates), by a posture estimation unit, a pitch amount and a roll amount (predicted pitch rate and predicted roll rate) that occur in the vehicle through use of a moment command of the M+ control and a longitudinal G command of the GV control. The controller adjusts damping forces of damping force variable dampers through use of the estimated pitch amount and the estimated roll amount (predicted pitch rate and predicted roll rate) so that a pitch amount calculated by a pitch control unit and a roll amount calculated by a roll suppression unit approach respective target values.

    Abstract: Example implementations described herein are directed to integration of far infrared cameras in a vehicle system to detect objects based on relative temperature of objects. Such implementations can improve accuracy when paired, for example, with classification systems that classify objects based on the shape of the object, as both the shape and relative temperature can be used to ensure that the classification is accurate. Further, example implementations can synchronize far infrared cameras with other sensor systems to determine distance, energy, and absolute temperature of an object, which can also be used to enhance classification. Such classifications can then be provided to an advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which can control the vehicle system in accordance with the object classification.

    Abstract: A system for accelerating testing of a software program includes a virtual computer and a test execution control computer. The virtual computer imitates a microcomputer equipped with a software program to be tested. The test execution control computer divides a plurality of test scenarios into common phases; to create and store a tree structure mapping out the plurality of test scenarios, the tree structure where the common phase is followed by a non-common phase, the common phase branched out into the non-common phases. The virtual computer executes the common phase in accordance with the tree structure, and stores as a snapshot a state of the virtual computer. The virtual computer to uses the snapshot to reproduce the state of the virtual computer that has executed the common and non-common phases, when the test execution control computer causes the virtual computer to execute a second test scenario.

    Abstract: Conventionally, there is a problem that switching loss of an inverter increases in a case where a change such as improvement in a switching frequency is involved. The battery voltage E and the torque command T* are input to the first current command generation unit 111. The battery voltage E, the torque command T*, and a voltage utilization rate obtained by dividing a line voltage effective value by a battery voltage (DC voltage) are input to a second current command generation unit 112. A magnet temperature Tmag of a rotor magnet is input to a current command selection unit 113, and a current command output from the first current command generation unit 111 is selected in normal operation, and the second current command generation unit 112 is selected in a case where the magnet temperature exceeds a predetermined value. The second current command generation unit 112 is configured not to obtain the voltage utilization rate of 0.3 to 0.4.
