    摘要: A tiptoe position estimating device includes: a camera configured to capture an image of an interior of a vehicle; and a human body information acquisition unit configured to acquire, from a captured image obtained by capturing an image of a person seated on a seat in the interior by the camera, position information of skeleton points at a plurality of positions of a body of the person. The human body information acquisition unit is configured to acquire thigh information which is position information of a skeleton point of a thigh of the person, and lower leg information which is position information of a skeleton point of a lower leg of the person. The human body information acquisition unit includes a tiptoe position estimating part configured to estimate a tiptoe position of a foot of the person based on the acquired thigh information and the acquired lower leg information.

    摘要: A motor controlling device includes a high-side first switching element corresponding to each phase of a three-phase brushless motor, a low-side second switching element corresponding to each phase, a shunt resistor disposed between and connected to the second switching element and a grounding line, and a power controlling section for controlling the first switching element and the second switching element. The device further includes a decision section configured to effect abnormality decision based on a sum of values of currents flowing in the shunt resistors of all the phases acquired by using the power controlling section to switch OFF the first switching element of any one phase whose duty ratio is found equal to or greater than a threshold value for a predetermined period and also to switch ON the second switching element of the same one phase for the predetermined period.

    摘要: An opening/closing body drive device includes: a motor which opens or closes an opening/closing body; a drive unit which rotates the motor; and a control unit which controls the drive unit. The drive unit includes a first and second integrated circuits having first and second switching elements and third and fourth switching elements which are connected to each other in series with respect to a power source and connection points of which are connected to one and the other terminals of the motor, respectively. The control unit turn-on drives the first and fourth switching elements or the second and third switching elements when driving the motor to be rotated forward or reversely. The control unit turn-on drives any one of the second and third switching elements when braking the motor during the forward rotation of the motor.

    摘要: A protector with a sensor couples to a sliding door. A first end of an insert is inserted in and fills up a space on a hollow part of the protector. A second end of the insert includes a support member and a lid. Top ends of core wires and top ends of two leads are fit in first channels on the support member. Covered parts and a wire harness are fit in a second channel. The second channel is formed between the support member and the lid and is continuous with the first channels. The support member and the lid include feeding ports to receive and feed die-molding material into the second channel during die molding.
