Abstract: In a rendering device (10), ROM (4) stores a vehicle model.
A rudder angle sensor (3) detects a rudder angle of the vehicle,
and based thereon, CPU (6) calculates an estimated path for the
vehicle. The CPU (6) receives captured images from cameras 2 1 
to 2 N . The CPU (6) generates a display image based on those
captured images, the estimated path, and the vehicle model. This
display image includes the vehicle model arranged on the estimated
path, and displayed on a display device (8) placed in the vehicle.
In this manner, the display image generated by the rendering
device (10) is indicative and helpful for a driver of the vehicle
to exactly figure out a parking space available for the vehicle.

Abstract: In a state monitoring method in a subscriber
line test in a communication system in which a
subscriber telephone and a subscriber terminal are
independently connected to a telephone exchange and an
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) apparatus
through a subscriber line, the telephone exchange to
which a first control terminal is connected is connected,

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for stopping iterative decoding in a turbo
decoder performing iterative decoding on a received frame comprised of
information bits and then outputting the iteratively decoded results. A turbo
decoder sequentially outputs absolute LLR (Log Likelihood Ratio) values
associated with the respective information bits of the received frame by the
iterative decoding, and stops the iterative decoding in response to a stop
command for the iterative decoding. A minimum LLR detector selects a
minimum value M(i) among the sequentially output absolute LLR values. A
controller issues a command to stop the iterative decoding, if the minimum value
M(i) is larger than a first threshold determined based on a minimum value F min 
among absolute LLR values output through previous iterative decoding.

Abstract: A gas sensor includes a metallic shell (1) and an element (2), which is
disposed in a hollow portion formed in the metallic shell (1). An inorganic powder
(4) is filled into a gap between the element (2) and the metallic shell (1) to thereby
hermetically seal the element (2) and the metallic shell (1) against each other. By
using an inorganic powder (4) which does not have an exothermic peak within a
temperature range up to 700°C when subjected to differential thermal analysis,
gastightness maintained at the gap portion between the element (2) and the metallic
shell (1) is not impaired even in a working environment of 600°C or higher. Talc
powder composed of SiO 2  and MgO can be used as the inorganic powder (4).
However, a binder, such as water glass, is not added to the inorganic powder (4) in
order to prevent the inorganic powder (4) from having an exothermic peak within a
temperature range up to 700°C, which peak would otherwise appear when the talc
powder is subjected to differential thermal analysis. In order to attain good
formability, talc mineral stone is pulverized into particles having a particle size of
400 µm to 600 µm and the particles are used as the inorganic powder (4).

Abstract: There are provided water supplying pumps (6) and check
valves (5) in the connecting pipe passage (4) connecting a
plurality of water supplying tanks (2a, 2b ....) arranged for each of the
floors, and the connecting pipe passage (4) connecting the
water supplying tank at the lowermost floor with a water
pipe (1). The water supplying tanks (2a, 2b ....) are provided with dampers (9)
having air chambers (8). Hydraulic pressure in each of the
water supplying tanks (2a, 2b ....) is detected, operation of the water
supplying pump (6) is controlled in response to the hydraulic
pressure, thereby the hydraulic pressures in all the water
supplying tanks are made equal and the variation in
hydraulic pressure of the water supplying tanks is absorbed
by the dampers (9). With such an arrangement as above, even if
the variation in hydraulic pressure is severe, the water
supplying pump (6) does not show any gradual repeating of
stopping of driving and so control of the hydraulic
pressure can be carried out accurately and easily.

Abstract: In a coin mechanism to which the present invention is applied,
a coin of five hundred yen whose holding is released is distributed

mentioned above, the coin whose holding is released is distributed to
a change outlet, the coin box, or the coin tube at a front stage of
entering the coin containing part (CT500). Accordingly, it is
unnecessary to provide another distributing device at a part of the
coin tube (CT500) like the prior art, and the number of coins to be
contained in the coin tube (CT500) is increased. Furthermore, it is
possible to set the number of coins to be contained in the coin tube

Abstract: [Means] A non-charging resin composite material can be manufactured by using liquid
containing metal ions to treat the surface of a resin base treated with ion-exchange group
introduction agent, thereby introducing metal ions. By then converting said metal ions, a
component containing metal clement is introduced at the surface of the resin base in such
a small amount that charging of the resin base can be prevented, without increasing the
low conductivity intrinsic to the resin base to above a certain level, which has been
difficult in the past. With said non-charging resin composite material, damage due to the
adhesion of dirt or dust on the base is prevented, as is damage to the base caused by static
electricity resulting from charging.
