20090116388 | Vehicle Communication Method and Communication Device - In a vehicle communication method in which communication between a plurality of communication devices is performed and an amount of communication data sent from each communication device is changed, features are as follows. That is, if the amount of communication data sent from the first communication device is to be increased, the amount of communication data sent from the second communication device is decreased so that a total sum of the amounts of communication data sent from all the communication devices does not exceed a predetermined value. | 05-07-2009 |
20110137518 | EXECUTION DEVICE, EXECUTION METHOD AND EXECUTION SYSTEM WHICH ALLOW VARIOUS ON-BOARD DEVICES TO EXECUTE ACTIONS REQUIRING USER AGREEMENT AND COMMUNICATION CENTER WHICH CONSTITUTES EXECUTION SYSTEM, AND ON-BOARD DEVICE WHICH EXECUTES ACTION REQUIRING USER AGREEMENT - An agreement requiring action execution device, which allows an on-board device to execute an agreement requiring action, has an agreement necessity determination section; an agreement prompt section; an agreement confirmation section; and an execution section. The agreement necessity determination section determines whether or not agreement of the user is required to allow a specific agreement requiring action to be executed as it identifies the laws or the like that apply now based on the location of the vehicle. If it is determined that agreement of the user is required to execute the specific agreement requiring action, the agreement prompt section displays a screen G or outputs sound guidance which prompts the user to decide whether to agree or disagree. When the agreement confirmation section confirms agreement of the user, the execution section allows the on-board device to execute the specific action. | 06-09-2011 |
20110172879 | VEHICLE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND VEHICLE ABNORMALITY CAUSE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - When repair/replacement information is acquired by a repair/replacement information acquisition device, feature quantities of vehicle state information acquired by an vehicle state information acquisition device are detected, and a content of repair or parts replacement is estimated using the detected feature quantities of the vehicle state information, and supervised training data. If the result of the estimation accords with the repair/replacement information acquired by the repair/replacement information acquisition device, a storage device is controlled so that the combination of the detected feature quantities of the vehicle state information and the repair/replacement information acquired by the repair/replacement information acquisition device is added to the supervised training data. | 07-14-2011 |

20120133936 | PARTICLE COUNTING METHOD - A particle counting method that can count the number of the particles precisely. The method discriminates a wave pattern of the scattered light from a normal particle (subject of the counting) and a wave pattern of the light scattered by the agitation such as a floating particle, a radiation or changes in the intensity of the light. In one embodiment, a method for counting particles is disclosed which irradiates a light to a sample gas, detects a scattered light from a particle included in the sample gas by a photoelectric conversion device, counts the number of the particles of every particle size division by the output voltage wave pattern of the photoelectric conversion device, calculate a time difference (Ta−T | 05-31-2012 |
20130310522 | COMPOSITE RESINOUS PARTICLES, METHOD OF PRODUCING COMPOSITE RESINOUS PARTICLES, COMPOSITE RESIN MOLDED BODY, AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME - A composite resin material particle is produced by a method including the steps of: forming a mixed slurry containing a resin material particle and carbon nanotubes; supplying the mixed slurry to a pressure vessel, followed by supplying carbon dioxide with stirring an inside of the pressure vessel; holding the inside of the pressure vessel at a temperature and at a pressure which allow the carbon dioxide to be maintained in a subcritical or supercritical state; and transferring the carbon dioxide to the outside of the pressure vessel. | 11-21-2013 |
20140333274 | COMPLEX POWER MANAGEMENT DEVICE AND COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A complex power management device includes DC/DC converters and a common reference line connected in common to the DC/DC converters. Each of the DC/DC converters includes a first switch element and inductor connected in series between first and second nodes, a second switch element, one end of which is connected to a third node that is a connection point of the first switch element and the inductor and the other end of which is connected to the corresponding ground terminal, and an output voltage adjustment circuit, which exclusively controls an ON/OFF state of the first and second switch elements based on a voltage of a fourth node that is the other end of the second switch element. The common reference line is connected to a fifth node that is provided on a wire connecting the second switch element of each of the DC/DC converters to the ground terminal. | 11-13-2014 |
