Title: Direction indicator for vehicle
Inventor: TSUKATANI TOSHIHIKO
IPC: F21S8/10
Filed: 2016-04-05
Abstract: SOLUTION: There is provided a direction indicator for a vehicle which has a blue LED for emitting blue light as a light source and an outer cover in which the blue light is radiated, and in which the outer cover includes a molded body made of a high polymer material in which phosphors for absorbing blue light and emitting light are scattered.EFFECT: According to the invention, a direction indicator for a vehicle can be provided in which visibility is improved, and which gives sufficient luminous intensity and favorable visibility across a wide angle. Also, as the direction indicator performs surface light emission in which the entire outer cover emits light, uniformity of luminous intensity is secured even without performing light scattering processing to the outer cover. As a result, occurrence of glare due to the light scattering processing can be suppressed, an uncomfortable feeling is not imparted to drivers of vehicles and pedestrians in the periphery, and the direction indicator is safe. Furthermore, as complicated optical design is not necessary, the direction indicator can be arranged in a vehicle in a space saving manner.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Title: Abrasion amount estimation device and abrasion amount estimation method
Inventor: KAKIZAKI HIDENORI
IPC: B60T17/22
Filed: 2016-04-25
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an abrasion amount estimation device which can estimate an abrasion amount at high reliability without the necessity for complicating processing.SOLUTION: Information of a current integrated traveling distance Mile is acquired from a vehicle, and a standard abrasion amount is calculated by multiplying the integrated traveling distance by a standard abrasion amount coefficient of a brake lining. Furthermore, a brake temperature FBT at a finish of a brake cycle is acquired, and an abrasion rate coefficient X (FBT) is acquired on the basis of data of an abrasion rate characteristic of the brake lining and the brake temperature FBT. A standard abrasion amount is corrected by using the abrasion rate coefficient X (FBT), and a proper value of a current abrasion amount is calculated. Since processing which is large in a load such as integration processing is dispensed with, the abrasion amount can be detected at a low cost. Since an estimation value is corrected by taking into consideration the brake temperature FBT and the abrasion rate characteristic, an estimation error can be reduced.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
