A driving assistance method includes: extracting a high difficulty point where autonomous driving is difficult on a planned travel route of a host vehicle; determining, at a point located at a predetermined distance or more before the high difficulty point, whether or not a following vehicle traveling on the same lane as a lane of the host vehicle is present within a predetermined range from the host vehicle; and guiding switching of a traveling state of the host vehicle from autonomous driving to manual driving when the following vehicle is present within the predetermined range from the host vehicle.

Driving assistance method and driving assistance device

A driving assistance method includes: extracting a point where a travel lane of a host vehicle joins another lane on a planned travel route of the host vehicle, as a high difficulty point where autonomous driving is difficult; and guiding switching of a traveling state of the host vehicle from autonomous driving to manual driving, at a point located at a predetermined distance before the high difficulty point.

A route guidance method includes: if, on a set route from a departure point to a destination of a vehicle, a travelling road at a present position of the vehicle has a first plurality of lanes, and a next road following a nearest branch point from the present position has a second plurality of lanes, finding a branch-merge point up to which lanes other than a lane for reaching the destination out of the second plurality of lanes have gone away; and if a start point of traffic congestion is downstream of the branch-merge point, and an end point of the traffic congestion is upstream of the nearest branch point, guiding the vehicle to the lane for reaching the destination as a target before reaching the end point.

A connector assembly having three types of connector elements including a first connectorand a second connector, each of which is respectively mounted to one of two mounting members P, P, and an intermediate connector, which is located between the two connectors, i.e., the first connectorand the second connector, and is connected to the two connectors, wherein one of the three types of connector elements has protrusion portionsC protruding in the direction of connection of the connector elements, said protrusion portions are abuttable against other connector elements or mounting members with an abutment force, and, in the process of connection of the connector elements, the above-mentioned protrusion portions are deformable in the above-mentioned direction of connection by abutment forces that exceed the sliding forces acting between the terminalsof the connector elements.

Connector assembly and connector elements

An optical module includes a lens sheet having at least one lens on one surface thereof, a substrate having at least one of a light emitter or a light receiver on one surface thereof, and an adhesive film configured to bond the lens sheet to the substrate, wherein a protrusion is formed on the lens sheet so as to surround the lens.

Optical module

Example implementations involve an electrical connector and a test method of the electrical connector, wherein the electrical conduction condition between a ground member and a ground terminal can be easily confirmed while reliably contacting the ground member and ground terminal. Electrical connector involves a plurality of terminals including two types of terminals, namely, signal terminals and ground terminals; a retaining body, made of an insulating material, that arranges and retains the plurality of terminals in a condition where the signal terminals and ground terminals are intermingled; and a ground member retained by the retaining body on the inward side of the retaining body, in a condition contacting at least two ground terminals; wherein the ground member has a detecting part exposed from the retaining body in order to detect an electrical conduction condition between the ground terminals and the ground member.

Electrical connector and test method for electrical connector

An electrical connector with terminals formed therein, at an intermediate location in the terminal width direction, contact portions that come into contact with corresponding contact portions provided in counterpart terminals under contact pressure. Within bounds of the contact portions in the direction of connector insertion and extraction, the above-mentioned terminals have guiding portions configured to guide the corresponding contact portions of the counterpart terminals in the terminal width direction toward the contact portions of the terminals. The guiding portions are formed as inclined faces that extend in a continuous manner to the contact portions while being inclined so as to approach the corresponding contact portions of the counterpart terminals as one moves in the terminal width direction from the side edge locations of the terminals toward the contact portions.

Exposure apparatus exposes a substrate by irradiating the substrate with exposure light via a projection optical system and a liquid. The exposure apparatus is provided with a liquid immersion mechanism for supplying the liquid and recovering the liquid. The liquid immersion mechanism has an inclined surface, which is opposite to a surface of the substrate and is inclined with respect to the surface of the substrate, and a liquid recovering port of the liquid immersion mechanism is formed in the inclined surface. A flat portion is provided between the substrate and the projection optical system. A liquid immersion area can be maintained to be small.

An operation panel includes a first board, a second board, a load sensor provided between the first board and the second board, and a clip that holds together the first board and the second board. The load sensor detects the magnitude of a force applied to the first board.

Operation panel whose thickness is adjustable with screw operably inserted into hole formed in clip that clips multiple boards and load sensor sandwiched therebetween

A device manufacturing method forms a liquid immersion area under a projection system via which an exposure light is projected, while supplying a liquid via a liquid supply inlet of a liquid retaining member and collecting the supplied liquid along with a gas via a liquid recovery outlet of the liquid retaining member. The liquid retaining member surrounds a tip portion of the projection system, which has a last optical element having a surface. The liquid retaining member has a surface opposite to the surface of the last optical element with a gap between the surfaces. A substrate is exposed with the exposure light through the liquid of the liquid immersion area, while moving the substrate below and relative to the projection system and the liquid retaining member. One of the liquid and the gas is separated from the other which have been collected via the liquid recovery outlet.
