Abstract: In the vehicle surroundings display device of the invention, an image processor
generates an image showing the situation around a vehicle. When an obstacle is detected
by an obstacle detection means, the image processor determines an image missing region
using the position of the border of the obstacle on the vehicle side detected by an obstacle
position detection means and fills the image missing region with substitute image data.
This eliminates unnaturalness of a display image the user may feel and enables the user to
accurately recognize the position of a neighboring obstacle that is important in driving
operation.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an apparatus including both an oven
(i.e. a microwave oven) and a radio. In embodiments of the present invention, control
circuitry is shared for both the oven and the radio. Embodiments of the present invention
are advantageous, as a consumer desiring both a microwave oven and a radio need not buy
these devices separately because they are combined in a single combination unit. The
present invention is also advantageous, as the combination microwave oven and radio is less
costly to produce than an oven and a radio that are separate devices. This is possible
because many components (i.e. the casing and/or control circuitry) are shared between the
two devices. Accordingly, a combination oven and radio may be more affordable to
consumers.
