摘要:
One object is to provide a measuring device configured to evaluate the power generation characteristics of a response-delay type fuel cell automatically, precisely, and with excellent reproducibility with consideration of the response delay against power load fluctuations, and effectively acclimatize and develop microorganisms that are provided to generate power. A potentio-galvanostat is connected to a microbial fuel cell provided as an exemplary response-delay type fuel cell. Further, an automatic measuring device is connected to the potentio-galvanostat. The automatic measuring device has a program function and measures the internal resistance of the microbial fuel cell at set time. The internal resistance measurement is executed through the automatic measuring device that instructs the potentio-galvanostat to change a current value flowing to the microbial fuel cell and that repeatedly executes the process of measuring and recording a voltage value of the microbial fuel cell and the current value while changing a current control value in stages after the voltage value is stabilized.

[PROBLEMS] To provide a microbial fuel cell whose parts can be replaced without lowering the energy recovery efficiency and a membrane cassette for microbial fuel cells. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A negative electrode (10) supporting anaerobic microorganisms (11) is immersed in an organic substrate (S). A positive electrode (15) sealed together with an electrolyte (D) in a closed hollow cassette (20) having an outer shell (25) at least a part of which is formed of an ion-permeable membrane (21), an inlet (22), and an outlet (23) or connected to the inner side of an ion-permeable membrane (21) is inserted into the organic substrate (S). While oxygen (O) is supplied into the cassette (20) through the inlet (22) and the outlet (23), electricity is taken out through a circuit (18) electrically interconnecting the negative and positive electrodes (10, 15). Preferably, the outer shell (25) of the closed hollow cassette (20) is a hollow outer shell frame (25) having an opening (26) which is closed by stretching an ion-permeable membrane (21), an inlet (22), and an outlet (23), and the ion-permeable membrane (21) is a membrane/electrode assembly (MEA) formed integrally with the positive electrode (15).

Disclosed is a monitoring technique for displaying a low-luminance image of e.g. a dark area in an easily visible manner. The inventive apparatus includes an image capturing unit 10 for capturing an image of an object to be monitored, an inversion condition determining unit 11 for determining whether an inversion condition is satisfied or not based on the visibility of the image captured by the image capturing unit 10, and a display image generating unit 12 for generating a negative/positive inverted image from the captured image when it is determined by the inversion condition determining unit 11 that the inversion condition is satisfied.

Provided is a vehicle surroundings awareness support device capable of providing a prompt for a driver to intuitively direct their attention, without the driver feeling hassled. Captured images comprising a plurality of frames taken sequentially by an onboard camera for imaging the surroundings of the vehicle are received; an optical flow is computed on the basis of feature points contained in the plurality of frames imaged at different times; moving objects in the surroundings of the vehicle are detected on the basis of the optical flow; and a display for showing movement trajectories for the moving objects is superimposed on the captured images on the basis of the optical flow.

A surroundings monitoring device for a vehicle, includes a pair of side cameras, each of which is provided at a side mirror, obtaining capture images capturing views extending to left and right of the vehicle including views below the side mirrors, respectively, an image graphic generating portion generating an image graphic of the vehicle from a view point above a rear portion thereof towards a front lower portion thereof, or from a view point above a front portion of the vehicle towards a rear lower portion thereof in order to include at least a portion of the vehicle and the side mirrors on the image graphic, and a side image generating portion generating left and right side images on the basis of the capture images so as to correspond to images shown at left and right portions of the image graphic displayed on a monitor, respectively.
摘要:
Wide-angle imaging data obtained by capturing a view of a vehicle periphery can be converted into wide-angle display data for displaying the view in the same field of view on a display device, and into enlarged display data for enlarging and displaying a portion of the wide-angle imaging data. When the image on the screen of the display is switched between wide-angle display and enlarged display, the target region corresponding to the post-switching display data is set, highlighted, and displayed as the highlighted region (E) on the screen on the pre-switching display data (V1). The surface area of the highlighted region (E) is varied until the surface area highlighted region (E) is the same as the surface area of the target region on the post-switching display data. Lastly, the post-switching display data is displayed in the highlighted region (E).

A surrounding recognition support system includes a distance marker display section displaying a distance marker on a monitor for a user to identify the distance marker, which indicates a distance from the user to a predetermined area and allows the user to visually sense the distance when the user looks at the monitor, and a sound output section emitting a special sound corresponding to the distance indicated by the distance marker when the distance marker is displayed on the monitor by the distance marker display section. The sound output section emits the special sound in response to a result of detection of an object detection portion detecting the object existing around the user within the predetermined area defined by the distance indicated by the distance marker.
