Abstract: In a solar power generation control device, a memory stores an output voltage at which maximum power is obtained, for each illuminance on a panel surface of a solar panel, acquisition circuitry acquires a vehicle speed, a present illuminance on the panel surface, and first information indicating an illuminance in a prescribed area ahead of a vehicle, and calculation circuitry calculates a predicted illuminance on the panel surface, which is an illuminance after a lapse of a prescribed length of time, based on the first information and the vehicle speed. When determining that an absolute value of a difference between first and second output voltages, at which maximum powers are obtained respectively at the present and predicted illuminances, exceeds a prescribed threshold, control circuitry makes correction such that an output voltage of the solar panel coincides with the second output voltage upon the lapse of the prescribed length of time.

Abstract: A rewrite detection system, a rewrite detection device and an information processing device can detect unauthorized rewrite to a program or data stored in a storage unit of the information processing device. A rewrite detection device generates a random seed and transmits it to an ECU and a server device. The ECU calculates a hash value using a predetermined hash function on the basis of the received random seed and the storage content of the storage unit, and transmits the hash value to the rewrite detection device. The server device transmits an expectation in response to an inquiry from the rewrite detection device. The rewrite detection device determines whether unauthorized rewrite to a program or data in the ECU has been performed or not in accordance with whether the expectation received from the server device and the hash value received from the ECU coincide with each other or not.

Abstract: An eccentric speed variator includes a first rotor, a second rotor, a third rotor, a cylindrical pin, and a flange. The second rotor has a hole formed therein. The third rotor rotates eccentrically to change a relative rotation phase between the first and second rotors. The cylindrical pin extends through the hole of the second rotor to establish mechanical engagement between the second and third rotors. The flange is secured to or integrally formed with an end of the cylindrical pin. In operation, when the flange contacts the outside wall of the second rotor, it serves to minimize inclination of the third rotor relative to the second rotor, thereby reducing local friction between the second and third rotors to eliminate undesirable mechanical vibration or noise. This structure also enables parts of the cycloidal speed reducer to be decreased, which leads to a reduced size of the cycloidal speed reducer.
