    摘要: A closed eye determination device includes an eye opening degree detection unit that detects a degree of eye opening of a driver from each of a series of face images of a driver in time series in a latest certain period of time being acquired by a driver monitor camera, a local minimum value extraction unit that extracts a local minimum value of the degree of eye opening from a change in time series of the degree of eye opening in the certain period of time, a reference lower limit value-setting unit that sets, as a reference lower limit value of the degree of eye opening, a local minimum value in order corresponding to a blinking number of the driver in the certain period of time in order from the smallest local minimum value among local minimum values of the degree of eye opening in the certain period of time, a threshold value setting unit that sets a closed eye determination threshold value, based on the reference lower limit value, and a closed eye determination unit that determines that an eye of the driver is closed when the degree of eye opening detected from an image acquired by the driver monitor camera after the certain period of time is less than or equal to the closed eye determination threshold value.

    摘要: A protrusion is formed on a first part of an inner-cabin side wall of an installation base member of a protector with a sensor. The first part is closer to a connecting wall than a second part opposite the first part. The protrusion is on a virtual line in cross section. The virtual line is where convex substances, keys for example, hanging on passengers' clothes conceivably pass through. The virtual line extends toward a connecting point from a rear part of an automobile body closer to an interior of the automobile body than a reference line. The reference line is parallel with a direction in which a flange protrudes and extends from the connecting point. The connecting point is a part of an inner-cabin side end of a hollow part closest to an interior of the automobile body. The inner-cabin side end is connected with the installation base member.

    摘要: An inner-cabin side part of a hollow part of a protector with a sensor extends between a top end and an inner-cabin side end with an inner-cabin side apex closest to an interior of an automobile body. A distance is shorter between the inner-cabin side apex and the inner-cabin side end than between the top end and the inner-cabin side apex. An outer-cabin side part of the hollow part extends between the top end and an outer-cabin side end with an outer-cabin side apex closest to an exterior of the automobile body. A distance is shorter between the outer-cabin side apex and the outer-cabin side end than between the top end and the outer-cabin side apex. Thicknesses of an outer coat of the hollow part are increased toward the apexes from the top end, and are uniform between the apexes and the inner-cabin side end and the outer-cabin side end.

    摘要: In a sunroof unit, a movable panel includes a front sliding portion and a rear sliding portion that position an arm by sliding with the arm. When the movable panel moves in a second sliding range being a movement range of the movable panel when the rear sliding portion slides with the arm, a gap is generated between the front sliding portion and the arm.

    摘要: A seat load detection method includes a process in which a control unit records a transition of a load detection signal and a transition of a seat load, a process in which the control unit specifies a timing when a load sensor detects a collision of a vehicle based on a transition record of the load detection signal, and a process in which the control unit calculates a correction value of the seat load based on a difference value between a stable seat load provided after the control unit detects the collision of the vehicle and a stable seat load provided before the load sensor detects the collision of the vehicle.

    摘要: A sensor system includes: a transmission device that includes a sensor which asynchronously outputs detection data including time series information; and a reception device connected to the transmission device via a transmission line. The detection data includes coordinate information, and the transmission device includes an expansion unit configured to expand a value of the coordinate information within a range of the number of bits assigned to the coordinate information, in a case where the detection data is acquired from the sensor, and a transmission unit configured to transmit expanded detection data in which the value of the coordinate information is expanded by the expansion unit to the reception device via the transmission line.
