Abstract:
Provided is a photocurable adhesive with which curing by direct irradiation of laser light is possible with almost no occurrence of surface carbonization and which is capable of satisfactory curing even when the coating thickness is increased. A photocurable adhesive, which is cured by irradiation of laser light, is provided. The curable adhesive contains an epoxy adhesive component, a light-absorbing component for thermal curing of the epoxy adhesive component by absorption of laser light, and an inorganic filler. The content of the light-absorbing component is 0.1 mass % or less. The pre-curing thermal conductivity of the photocurable adhesive is at least 0.2 W/m·K and the post-curing thermal conductivity is at least 0.5 W/m·K.
Abstract:
The lens tube includes a cylindrical barrel, a holder, a cap, and a stress applying portion. The barrel houses at least one first lens. The holder houses an imaging element and is fixed to a substrate. The holder is configured to allow one end of the barrel in an axial direction to be screwed into the holder such that an optical axis of the first lens and an optical axis of the imaging element are aligned with each other. The cap is mountable to the barrel by allowing the other end of the barrel in the axial direction to be screwed into the cap. The stress applying portion is located between the holder and the cap when the barrel is screwed into the holder and the cap, and applies a stress in a direction in which the cap is separated from the holder. The first lens is held and fixed between a first stopper formed on the cap and a second stopper formed in the barrel when the cap is mounted to the barrel.
Abstract:
A camera apparatus is mounted to a vehicle. The camera apparatus includes a camera module, a casing, and a restraining portion. The camera module includes a lens and a camera board on which an image sensor is provided. The casing houses the camera module. The restraining portion is configured to mechanically restrain movement of the camera module that is mounted in a predetermined mounting position within the casing, from the mounting position. The camera module is fixed to the casing by an adhesive.

Abstract:
A product includes a first component, a second component and an adhesive. The adhesive fills an interior space that is surrounded by the first component and the second component. The second component comprising an inlet that communicates between an exterior space of the second component and the interior space so as to enable the adhesive to be injected into the interior space. The inlet comprising a tapered portion that narrows from the exterior space towards the interior space.
Abstract:
A system for maneuvering a vehicle has a detection system, a prediction system, and a vehicle control system. The detection system is configured to detect a nearby vehicle adjacent to the vehicle. The prediction system is configured to calculate a predicted trajectory of the nearby vehicle upon receiving a detection result from the detection system. The vehicle control system is configured to maneuver the vehicle based on the predicted trajectory upon receiving a control signal from the prediction system. The vehicle control system maneuvers the vehicle to keep a specified distance away from the nearby vehicle. A method for maneuvering a vehicle includes detecting a nearby vehicle adjacent to the vehicle, calculating a predicted trajectory of the nearby vehicle, and maneuvering the vehicle based on the predicted trajectory to keep a specified distance away from the nearby vehicle.
Abstract:
A diagnostic system for identifying vehicle sensors impaired by a foreign substance. The system includes a plurality of vehicle sensors configured to facilitate navigation of a vehicle in an environment. A gear shift detection sensor is configured to detect a gear position of the vehicle. A control module is configured to identify which of the plurality of vehicle sensors is impaired by a foreign substance; and identify for an operator of the vehicle which of the plurality of vehicle sensors is impaired due to the foreign substance based on the gear position of the vehicle.
