A method for identifying a personalized instance of a given object in a target image (I), comprising:- obtaining a plurality of embedding vectors (e_p) of objects from a mask of objects in a set of reference images associated with said objects, said embedding vectors (e_p) being obtained from an image encoder trained within a self-²supervised foundation model, one embedding vector being associated with one reference image for one object,- storing said plurality of embedding vectors (e_p) of said objects with identifiers associated with said objects,- determining that the target image (I) comprises said personalized instance of said given object based on a similarity between- an embedding vector (e_oi) of said personalized instance of said object obtained using said trained foundation model, and- the embedding vectors (e_p) stored in said memory.

A collision avoidance apparatus for a vehicle comprises a driving support ECU serving as an electronic control unit configured to execute automatic braking to reduce a risk when it is determined, based on a detection result of an object detection device, that a host vehicle is at risk of colliding with an obstacle. The driving support ECU is further configured to determine whether a specific condition that an accelerator opening degree due to driving operation by a driver is equal to or greater than a reference opening degree is satisfied when the automatic braking is terminated, and when it is determined that the specific condition is satisfied, the driving support ECU controls a driving force of the host vehicle so that a vehicle speed of the host vehicle does not exceed an upper limit vehicle speed of a vehicle speed range in which the automatic braking is executed.

A stack structure includes a case having an opening, a cell stack disposed within the case, and an electrical device disposed outside the case and electrically connected to the cell stack through the opening. The case includes a first member having the opening, a second member connected to the first member, and a first sealing member that seals the boundary between the first member and the second member.

A positive electrode active material comprises a primary particle (1) and a covering (5), wherein the primary particle (1) includes an olivine-type phosphate compound, the covering (5) covers at least part of a surface of the primary particle (1), and the covering (5) includes carbon and phosphorus.

A vehicle (1) includes an exhaust pipe (50), a battery pack (100), a junction box (300), an electronic device (400), and a base (600). The exhaust pipe (50) is disposed outside the battery pack (100). The battery pack (100) houses the junction box (300), the electronic device (400), and the base (600). The electronic device (400) is provided on the base (600). The base (600) is, as viewed in an upward-downward direction, positioned between the exhaust pipe (50) and the junction box (300) and aligned with the junction box (300) in a width direction of the vehicle (1).

A junction block is interposed between a first battery and a second battery, both provided in a vehicle and connectable to each other, and a motor, and is configured to electrically connect the first battery, the second battery, and the motor. The junction block includes a first path for charging the first battery, a second path for charging the second battery, a third path for charging the first battery and the second battery, and a thermistor provided in a portion where the first path, the second path, and the third path overlap.

The present disclosure provides an electrode mixture that, after having been used to form an electrode active material layer, can inhibit excessive collapse of the electrode active material in the thickness direction when pressed, and/or that can improve homogeneity of the constituent components in the thickness direction and the in-plane direction, as well as a battery comprising the electrode mixture. The electrode mixture of the disclosure comprises electrode active material particles and tetrapod-shaped particles. The battery of the disclosure has an electrode active material layer, the electrode active material layer comprising an electrode mixture of the disclosure.

A junction block is provided to a vehicle and is interposed between a motor and each of a first battery and a second battery connectable to each other to electrically connect the first battery, the second battery, and the motor. The junction block includes a first path that charges only the first battery and is provided with a first current sensor, a second path that charges only the second battery, a third path that charges the first battery and the second battery, and a second current sensor that is provided at a portion where the second path and the third path overlap each other and do not overlap the first path, and measures a current flowing through the second battery.

A system includes a first acquisition unit, a second acquisition unit, and an inspection execution unit. The first acquisition unit acquires first speed from inspection equipment. The inspection equipment includes a roller that is rotatable while supporting a wheel of a vehicle and measures speed of the vehicle by utilizing a rotation of the roller.. The first speed is the speed measured by the inspection equipment. The second acquisition unit acquires second speed during measurement of the speed of the vehicle by using the inspection equipment. The second speed is speed displayed on a display device included in the vehicle to display the speed of the vehicle. The inspection execution unit uses the acquired first speed and the acquired second speed to execute inspection of the display device.

The vehicle start-up support device includes a user operation detection part (14) configured to detect an operation of a user of a vehicle (1) with respect to the vehicle (1) prior to start-up of the vehicle (1), and a notification control part (15) configured to control notification to the user. The notification control part is configured to perform a predetermined notification to the user when the user operation detection part (14) detects, as the operation of the user, an operation different from a start-up method of the vehicle (1) that is selectively set from among a plurality of operation methods a predetermined number of times.
