Abstract:
Provided is a case hardening steel which allows effective inhibition of abnormal grain growth during carburizing treatment or the like and makes it possible to solve the problem of abnormal grain growth-induced reduction in characteristics. In the case hardening steel, a total amount of TiC, ZrC and AlN which are precipitate particles contained in 100 g of a steel material after subjecting the case hardening steel to hot rolling is 3.5×10−4 mole or less.
Abstract:
A vehicle is able to contactlessly receive electric power from a power transmitting device and to charge a mounted electrical storage device (electric load). The vehicle includes a communication unit that carries out wireless communication with the power transmitting device and a vehicle ECU (control unit) that controls the communication unit. The communication unit is able to switch a communication range between a wide communication range (wire-area communication) and a narrow communication range (narrow-area communication). The vehicle ECU, at the time of identifying a power transmitting device from which electric power should be received, controls the communication unit such that the communication unit communicates with the power transmitting device using the narrow-area communication.
Abstract:
A contactless power transfer system supplies power from a power transmitting device to a vehicle in a contactless manner. The power transmitting device and the vehicle are configured to be capable of exchanging information with each other through radio communication. The vehicle is provided with an RFID tag in which infoiivation on the vehicle is stored in advance. The power transmitting device includes an RFID reader that reads out information from the ID tag in a contactless manner. A power transmitting ECU recognizes that the vehicle is a vehicle to be supplied with power from the power transmitting device if vehicle information indicated by information from the ID tag corresponds to vehicle information indicated by information received through radio communication.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a photomultiplier having a structure for making it possible to easily realize high detection accuracy and fine processing, and a method of manufacturing the same. The photomultiplier comprises an enclosure having an inside kept in a vacuum state, whereas a photocathode emitting electrons in response to incident light, an electron multiplier section multiplying in a cascading manner the electron emitted from the photocathode, and an anode for taking out a secondary electron generated in the electron multiplier section are arranged in the enclosure. A part of the enclosure is constructed by a glass substrate having a flat part, whereas each of the electron multiplier section and anode is two-dimensionally arranged on the flat part in the glass substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention provides apparatus and methods to perform thermal management in a computing environment. In one embodiment, thermal attributes are associated with operations and/or processing components, and the operations are scheduled for processing by the components so that a thermal threshold is not exceeded. In another embodiment, hot and cool queues are provided for selected operations, and the processing components can select operations from the appropriate queue so that the thermal threshold is not exceeded.
Abstract:
Provided is a parking assistance apparatus utilizing a fixed target by taking an image thereof, the parking assistance apparatus being capable of recognizing the fixed target with high recognition accuracy while using simple image recognition processing. A mark (M) includes a plurality of illuminators (1). Sets of the plurality of illuminators (1) form characteristic points C1 to C4. Turn-ON request generation means (36) of a vehicle-side device (20) sequentially generates turn-ON requests for each characteristic point and transmits the generated turn-ON requests to a parking-lot-side device (10). A display control unit (11) of the parking-lot-side device (10) turns ON the characteristic points based on the turn-ON requests. An image recognition unit (31) of the vehicle-side device (20) performs image recognition for the characteristic points sequentially. Using the recognition result, positional parameter calculation means (34) of the vehicle-side device (20) calculates positional parameters of a camera with respect to the mark (M).
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for migrating and distributing processor tasks on a plurality of multi-processing systems distributed over a network. The multi-processing system includes at least one broadband entity, each broadband entity including a plurality of processing units and synergistic processing units, as well as a shared memory. Tasks from one broadband entity are bundled, migrated and processed remotely on other broadband entities to efficiently use processing resources, and then returned to the migrating broadband entity for completion or continued processing.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and apparatus for transferring and storing data among processors and memory in a multiprocessor system. The data is compressed locally before it is sent to a shared memory. The memory stores the data in its compressed state, but the data is aligned in the memory in the same manner as uncompressed data would be. A tag table keeps track of the compression type and compressed data size for a set of data at a given address block. A data compressor and a data expander may be implemented in a direct memory access controller accessible to multiple coprocessors, or the compressor and the expander may be implemented within the coprocessors.
