Abstract:
An electromotive drive device including a small motor and a small-capacity battery more effectively improves the fuel economy of an engine-driven vehicle. An electromotive drive device (10) includes: a motor (11) for driving a vehicle (1); a battery (12) storing electrical energy to rotate the motor (11); an inverter (13); a converting mechanism (14) transmitting rotation of the motor (11) to a drive shaft (2) at a predetermined conversion ratio independently of a conversion ratio at which an engine is driven; and a control unit (15) controlling an operation of the inverter (11). The control unit (15) is configured so that upper vehicle speed limits, to which the motor (11) is allowed to operate, can be set separately during powering and during regeneration, respectively.
Abstract:
An integrated control interface is provided for the driver of the vehicle. The control interface employs a plurality of multi-functional switches located proximate to the driver in combination with a display that provides an indicia of the vehicle function controlled by each switch. A control module receives control signals from the switches and initiates control of the applicable vehicle subsystem function in response thereto.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a drinking detector of high precision not restricted by the putting-on and pulling-off of a glove or a handle holding position. SOLUTION: The drinking detector for judging the drinking of a driver with high precision is constituted so that an alcohol detection part 11 is mounted on the human body so as to be brought into contact with a part of the foot of the human body and the concentration of the alcohol in the sweat perspired from the skin of the foot. Accordingly, drinking is judged at the start time of a vehicle or during driving without being restricted by the putting-on and pulling-off of a glove or a handle holding position. Further, since the mounting of the alcohol detection part 11 is judged by a mounting detection electrode 19 and a temperature sensor 21, the injustice due to the non-mounting of the alcohol detection part 11 is detected. Since the power transmitted from the transmitter 51 on the side of the vehicle only when the alcohol detection part 11 is provided in the vicinity of a driver's seat is received by the receiving means 38 of the alcohol detection part 11, it is judged that the alcohol detection part 11 is mounted on the driver if the power is received.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high accuracy drinking detector capable of detecting alcohol concentration in sweat vapor at high speed. SOLUTION: This drinking detector comprises a sweat vapor inlet 15 that is arranged in a part of a steering wheel 13 and takes sweat vapor of a palm, a moisture permeation film 17 arranged in the sweat vapor inlet 15, a pair of contact detection electrodes disposed on the surface of the moisture permeation film 17, a pump 25 whose intake side is connected to the sweat vapor inlet 15, first and second alcohol sensors 19 and 20 disposed in the depth section of the sweat vapor inlet 15, and a control circuit connected to the contact detection electrodes, the pump 25, and the first and second alcohol sensors 19 and 20. The control circuit sucks sweat vapor with the pump 25 and vaporizes it only when the resistance value between the contact detection electrodes is within a range of the predefined resistance value, and determines drinking of the driver when the output of the first and second alcohol sensors 19 and 20 at this time is a drinking regulation value or higher. Therefore, the drinking of the driver can be determined accurately. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photoelectric biometric apparatus which prevents a user from feeling heat from a light source during measurement and measures the condition of a measurement object, namely the living body of the user, while relaxing restriction on the user during measurement. SOLUTION: The photoelectric biometric apparatus measures the condition of a measurement object, namely a living body. The photoelectric biometric apparatus comprises the light source that emits light, a light transmission body that transmits and scatters the light from the light source and irradiates the living body with the scattered light, two or more detecting parts that receive light reflected within the living body and convert intensity signals of received light into electric signals and output them, and a calculating part that measures the condition of the living body by calculating the electric signals output from the two or more detecting parts. The light transmission body illuminates the living body that is in contact with the light transmission body with the scattered light. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

SOLUTION: The drinking detector for judging the drinking of a driver with high precision is constituted so that an alcohol detection part 11 is mounted on the human body so as to be directly brought into contact with the human body and the concentration of the alcohol in the sweat perspired from the skin of the mounting part of the alcohol detection part 11 is detected. Accordingly, drinking is judged at the start time of a vehicle or during driving without being restricted by the putting-on and pulling-off of a glove or a handle holding position.

Since the power transmitted from the transmitter 51 on the side of the vehicle only when the alcohol detection part 11 is provided in the vicinity of a driver's seat is received by the receiving means 49 of the alcohol detection part 11, it is judged that the alcohol detection part 11 is mounted on the driver if the power is received.
