Abstract: The processing load of the detection without deteriorating the object detection performance is to be decreased. In one step, a position determining portion extracts objects within a detection region set based on the speed of an automotive vehicle from the objects detected by a laser radar. In another step, a speed determining portion extracts objects, whose speed in the distance direction of the automotive vehicle is equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value, from the objects extracted in the previous step. In another step, a ROI setting portion sets an ROI having a size corresponding to the distance of the object from the automotive vehicle for each of the extracted objects. The present invention can be applied to an in-vehicle obstacle detecting device.

Abstract: The present invention is an oral irrigator (10) comprising a pump (75), a discharge nozzle (20) and a pressure control (54). The pump has a generally constant operating speed and feeds the discharge nozzle. The pressure control (54) is adapted to modify a discharge pressure at the nozzle (20) without a significant change in pump speed. The pressure control (54) modifies a level of fluid flow restriction between the pump (75) and the nozzle (20). The modification of the level of fluid flow restriction is accomplished by modifying aspects of a fluid flow path extending through the pressure control (54). The aspects modified include the diameter, length and/or number of direction changes of the fluid flow path.

Abstract: Filtering means for filtering out impurities contained in an air stream, and comprising an inner filter plate or sieve, an outer frame that houses said filter plate thereinside, a structure for retaining said filter plate and conveying the shaking motion, a support socle applied on to said structure, a rotary electric motor, whose rotor is provided with one or more unbalanced masses, and which is fixedly mounted on said socle. The invention is based on the fact that said electric motor is operated in an intermittent manner, preferably with a direct-current, substantially square-wave supply voltage according to an ON-OFF cycling pattern, so as to generate a very broad spectrum of shaking frequencies that proves more effective in enabling the filter plate to be freed from the impurities being retained thereupon. 
     The ideal mechanical configuration calls for the structure for retaining the filter plate and conveying the shaking motion to be made up so as to comprise at least two portions projecting freely from the middle region of said structure in opposite directions, as well as for the electric motor to be positioned in a region of symmetry of said structure.

Abstract: When an obstacle (SM) on either of the two sides of a vehicle (MM) is detected, the future position (ΔXb) of the vehicle after a prescribed time (Tt) is predicted. When the future predicted vehicle position reaches a prescribed lateral position (ΔO, X2obst, Xthresh) in the width direction of the lane, control start is determined (S90) such that obstacle avoiding control is carried out to prevent the approach of the vehicle to the obstacle. When an intention of the driver to enter the lane of the obstacle is detected (S35), the start timing for obstacle avoiding control is shortened.
