A device for detecting one or more gases of ammonia (NH3), trimethylamine (TMA), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) includes a substrate and an electrodes layer. The device also includes a gas sensor array including one or more gas sensing films, each electronically coupled with an electrode. Each gas sensing film is configured to chemically interact with a respective target gas. Each electrode is configured to measure resistance changes across the respective gas sensing film to which it is electronically coupled. The multiple gas sensing films include one or more of polyaniline (PANI) doped with camphor sulfonic acid (CSA) for chemically interacting with NH3 and/or TMA, PANI doped with 4-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) for chemically interacting with TMA and/or NH3, and metal salt-doped PANI with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) composite for chemically interacting with H2S.

Abstract

A HUD apparatus includes a display device, a first mirror, a second mirror, a housing, a cover, an inner case, and a bezel with light-shielding wall. The bezel with light-shielding wall is attached to an upper end portion of the first mirror. The bezel with light-shielding wall shields any external light entering the housing from the opening portion and prevents the generation of any unexpected reflections on the windshield. Also, by attaching the first mirror to the bezel with light-shielding wall, the reflection range on the first mirror is suppressed to the minimum necessary, and the display light leaking out of the optical path for the virtual image display is not reflected by the first mirror such that it is possible to prevent the generation of any stray light.

Abstract

A vehicle power supply system includes a control unit for controlling to turn on and off first to fourth switches. In a normal state, the control unit turns off only the third switch to supply electric power from the first power supply unit and a power storage unit to the first and second load units. When an abnormality occurs in the vehicle power supply unit or the first load unit, the control unit turns off only the first switch to supply electric power from the power storage unit to the second load unit. When an abnormality occurs in the second load unit, the control unit turns on the first and fourth switches and turns off the second and third switches to supply electric power from the vehicle power supply unit and the power storage unit to the first load unit.
