    摘要: An RF converter circuit 11 that constitutes a video signal superposing/power deriving unit 100 converts video signals generated from images taken by a surveillance camera 10, which derives a direct current voltage as a driving power from an antenna lead-in wire 6 through a filter circuit (LPF circuit 12), to radio-frequency signals. The radio-frequency signals are transmitted through the antenna lead-in wire 6 to a television receiver 2. Images taken by the surveillance camera 1 can be viewed on the television receiver 2 only by selecting the channel assigned to the surveillance camera 1. Accordingly, the driving power for the surveillance camera 1 is not relied upon a solar battery or secondary batteries, and wiring work therefor may be simplified.

    摘要: A back mirror 1 comprising an automatic glare-proof function of the present invention includes a battery E1, a daytime/nighttime deciding circuit 3 for deciding whether the current time is daytime or nighttime, an integrating circuit 4, an electronic switch FET1, a glare-proof/glare-non-proof deciding circuit 5 for deciding whether an EC mirror 2 is set to a glare-proof state or a glare-non-proof state, and a driving circuit 6 for applying a DC voltage to the EC mirror 2. The daytime/nighttime deciding circuit 3 is being constantly applied with a DC voltage from the battery E1. When the daytime/nighttime deciding circuit 3 has decided that the current time is daytime, the electronic switch FET1 is turned off, and when the daytime/nighttime deciding circuit 3 has decided that the current time is nighttime, the electronic switch FET1 is turned on. Therefore, the voltage is applied to the glare-proof/glare-non-proof deciding circuit 5 and the driving circuit 6 only when a decision has been made that the current time is nighttime. Thereby, the power consumption of the battery E1 can be decreased.

    摘要: In a device for driving an EC antiglare mirror in which reflectivity is variably controlled by an EC element, a surrounding light quantity detection circuit detects quantity of light surrounding a vehicle. A rear light quantity detection circuit detects quantity of light in the rear of the vehicle. An oscillation circuit is constructed so that duration of an "H" level of an oscillation signal and duration of an "L" level of the oscillation signal are individually controlled. An inversion period control circuit variably controls duration of one of the "H" and "L" levels of the oscillation signal generated by the oscillation circuit in response to light quantity detected by the surrounding light quantity detection circuit and also variably controls duration of the other level in response to light quantity detected by the rear light quantity detection circuit. An EC element drive circuit inverts, in accordance with the level of the oscillation signal, the polarity of drive voltage supplied from a drive power source and applies the inverted voltage to the EC element and thereby controls the amount of coloration in accordance with duty factor of the oscillation signal.

The response speed control circuit performs control of the response speed in such a manner that, when the quantity of rear light is smaller, the response speed of the electrochromic element in a color imparting direction is lower whereas, when the quantity of rear light is larger, the response speed of the electrochromic element in the color imparting direction is higher.

    摘要: An image pickup apparatus which is equipped in a vehicle includes an infrared light emitter, an infrared camera and an infrared light sensor. The infrared light emitter irradiates an infrared light towards a surrounding area of the vehicle. The infrared camera performs an image pickup by receiving a reflected infrared light, which is emitted from the infrared light emitter and is reflected by an obstacle present in the surrounding area. The infrared light sensor detects a pulse light ranging from near-infrared region to infrared region, which is irradiated from an oncoming vehicle. The infrared camera delays performing the image pickup when the infrared light sensor detects the pulse light.

    摘要: An EC panel drive unit for a rear-view mirror comprising a timer circuit 2 in which a drive signal is output for a fixed period of time when either a colored state switch SW1 or a colorless state switch SW2 is in the ON position; a D-type flip-flop circuit 9 that sends different output signals, depending on whether the colored state switch SW1 is in the ON position or the colorless state switch SW2 is in the ON position, and a colored/colorless state switching circuit 6 which switches the polarity of DC voltage that is output from a lithium battery based on the output from the D-type flip-flop circuit 9 and then applies the voltage to input terminals Ta and Tb of the EC panel 7. A contact SW2-3 is installed between the two input terminals, Ta and Tb, of the EC panel 7 for providing a short circuit between the two terminals when the colorless state switch SW2 is turned to the ON position. Switching between a colored state and a colorless state by a one-touch operation, and returning the EC panel 7 to the colorless state from the colored state by pressing and holding the colorless state switch SW3 in cases where trouble occurs such as a drop in output voltage from the lithium battery 1 so as to set the contact SW3-3 to a short-circuit state can be achieved.

    摘要: In a control device for quick angle adjustment of a rearview mirror for a vehicle of the present invention, a reversible switch is connected in the forward direction only when an operational switch for quick angle adjustment is operated after a shift lever is displaced to a reverse gear position. This rotates a quick angle adjusting motor to tilt a mirror angle of the mirror assembly to a reverse position. The mirror angle does not change automatically to the reverse position when the reverse gear is selected merely to reverse a vehicle. Accordingly, change of the mirror angle against the driver's intention can be avoided. When a tilt angle of the mirror is at the reverse position, the reversible switch can be connected in the reverse direction by means of displacing the shift lever from the reverse gear position to any other position or by means of turning OFF the operational switch for quick angle adjustment, which enables the mirror to return to its normal position easily, positively and radically. Accordingly, the tilt angle of the mirror can be changed easily and accurately, which proves the highly improved operation.
