A liquid crystal display apparatus includes an applied gradation value acquiring section for receiving gradation data of a frame to be displayed, gradation data of a frame to be outputted, gradation data of the current frame supplied from a frame memory and measured data from a temperature sensor. An interpolation operation is then carried out in reference to look-up tables stored in a look-up table memory so as to calculate a target applied gradation data required for gradation display. The section sets for each LUT (a) a coordinate system in which a lattice point is represented by a combination of the gradation data of the current frame and the gradation data of the target frame and (b) a local coordinate system having lattice points corresponding to the target gradation data in the coordinate system; carries out interpolation operation by use of the local coordinate system, and carries out further interpolation operation based on the interpolated value (table interpolated value), in accordance with the measured data so as to calculate the target applied gradation data. The adoption of the interpolation by use of the local coordinate system enables the finding of the target applied gradation data (interpolated value) with higher accuracy, while a variety of additional conditions are taken into consideration.

A method of tire wear test capable of testing tire wear precisely by appropriately setting running modes in a simple manner.

Frequency distribution of acceleration in each of lateral direction and longitudinal direction is previously obtained during running on a test course. Also, external conditions generated on a tire mounted on a particular wheel of a test vehicle under particular running conditions are previously obtained. The external conditions are obtained being associated with the acceleration in each of lateral direction and longitudinal direction. Running modes are set up so that the external conditions are input to the tire in accordance with the frequency of acceleration corresponding to the external conditions. The tire is rolled on the simulation road surface based on the running modes to test the tire wear.

A remote control system includes a plurality of control object terminals connected with the first network, a control server connected the first network and a second network to control the control object terminal and a remote control terminal connected with the second network. The remote control terminal issues a control request for a specific terminal of the plurality of control object terminals to the control server through the second network. The control server identifies the remote control terminal uniquely in response to the control request and carries out the control request in place of the remote control terminal when the remote control right of the specific terminal is allocated to the remote control terminal.

Appropriate vehicle stability control is enabled in a vehicle configured to carry out regeneration enhancement control. A predictive deceleration support control unit is configured to set a position at which the vehicle is predicted to finish deceleration as a target deceleration end position, and guide a driver to release an accelerator pedal so that the deceleration of the vehicle is finished at the target deceleration end position, to thereby carry out regeneration enhancement control under a state in which the accelerator pedal is released so as to generate a larger deceleration than in a normal state. The predictive deceleration support control unit is configured to read a vehicle stability control flag from a brake ECU and stop the regeneration enhancement control when the vehicle stability control is being carried out.

Even when a control mode is switched, hands-off driving handling processing can be appropriately carried out. A hands-off determination unit is configured to start measurement of a no-operation state continuation period when a no-operation state in which a driver is estimated not to be operating a steering wheel is detected, and to determine that the driver is carrying out hands-off driving when the no-operation state continuation period is more than a hands-off driving determination period. The hands-off determination unit is configured to take over, when the control mode is switched under a state in which the measurement of the no-operation state continuation period has been started, a value of the no-operation state continuation period that has been measured until the switching of the control mode, thereby continuing the measurement of the no-operation state continuation period.

An information searching method to be implemented in a computer includes accepting a first character string from characters or a character string in a reading or inspecting document that is displayed on a display unit, acquiring a second character string from index information for searching the reading or inspecting document, based on identification information of the reading or inspecting document, and executing a search based on the first character string and the second character string.

A technology is provided whereby correction may be carried out appropriately for both a person's face and other portions of an image, when performing color correction for image data of a photographic image in which a person appears. A process such as the following is carried out during color correction of image data of a photographic image. First, the image data of the photographic image is analyzed, and a first region which is part of the photographic image and in which a person's face is present is determined. Then, on the basis of the portion corresponding to the first region of the image data, a first parameter relating to color is calculated. On the basis of part of the image data corresponding to a second region which is part of the photographic image but different from the first region, a second parameter relating to color is calculated. The color tone of the data is then corrected on the basis of the first and second parameters.

A vehicle comprises an autonomous driving system and a vehicle platform that controls the vehicle in response to a command received from the autonomous driving system. In the present vehicle, when the autonomous driving system issues a first command to request the vehicle platform to provide deceleration to stop the vehicle and a first signal indicates 0 km/h or a prescribed velocity or less, the autonomous driving system issues a second command to request the vehicle platform to maintain stationary. And after brake hold control is finished, a second signal indicates standstill. Until the second signal indicates standstill, the first command continues to request the vehicle platform to provide deceleration.

Torque shares that express an exchange of torque are set as a constraint condition of an equation of motion of an automatic transmission, so it is suitable to control an exchange of torque between engagement devices, which is difficult in shift control, and it is possible to solve the equation of motion. In other words, it is possible to handle any shift pattern with the use of a predetermined shift model. Furthermore, at the time of a shift in which two elements are released and two elements are engaged, a first shift and a second shift in each of which one element is released and one element is engaged are carried out, so three control operation amounts are used in each of the first shift and the second shift, with the result that it is possible to solve the equation of motion.
