Abstract: A vehicle master device includes a rewrite specification data acquisition unit that is configured to acquire rewrite specification data from outside, a rewrite specification data analysis unit that is configured to analyze the rewrite specification data acquired by the rewrite specification data acquisition unit, a group generation unit that is configured to divide the plurality of rewrite target ECUs to generate a plurality of groups based on the rewrite specification data analyzed by the rewrite specification data analysis unit, and an instruction execution unit that is configured to instruct the plurality of rewrite target ECUs for each group of the plurality of groups generated by the group generation unit to perform at least one of installation, rollback, and activation.

Abstract: An electronic control system for vehicle includes a center device that manages a program update of a vehicle, and a vehicular master device that is communicable with the center device. The center device, responsive to a user giving approval for program update by using a device not being a possession owned by the user, receives approval information of the user, and stores and manages the approval information in association with vehicle information of the user. The center device transmits the approval information to the user's vehicle side. When the vehicular master device receives the approval information, the vehicular master device performs rewriting of the program.

Abstract: A display control device includes a cancellation detection unit that is configured to detect a cancellation regarding a program rewrite from first update data stored in the rewrite target ECU to second update data acquired from an external device, a write instruction unit that is configured to distribute the second update data to the rewrite target ECU and instruct the rewrite target ECU to write the second update data thereinto, and a notification instruction unit that is configured to give an instruction for notification of a progress regarding the program rewrite. The notification instruction unit is further configured to give the instruction to make the notification of the progress regarding the program rewrite in a first manner when the write instruction unit is distributing the second update data, and give the instruction to make the notification of the progress regarding the program rewrite in a second manner when the cancellation detection unit detects the cancellation.

Abstract: A discharge lamp lighting apparatus comprises a discharge lamp and a power supply the discharge lamp can be switched between a steady power lighting mode, which drives the discharge lamp by an alternating current in which first and second polarities are repeated by turns, and a low power lighting mode, which drives the discharge lamp at 50% or less of the alternating current of the steady power lighting mode, and the alternating current comprises a first time unit, which has a time width t1, and second time unit, which has a time width t2, that are repeated by turns to drive the discharge lamp.

Abstract: A discharge lamp lighting device can reduce a variation in luminous flux at the time when the polarity of a voltage to be applied to the discharge lamp is inverted, prevent an excessively large amount of current from flowing through the discharge lamp at the time of starting, prevent the fade-out of discharge when the discharge mode returns from an arc discharge mode to a glow discharge mode, and reduce the ripple of a lamp current in a normal lighting mode. A coil is provided in an output current path of a power supply circuit comprising, for example, a step-down chopper, and a smoothing capacitor is provided in the next stage of the coil so that it selectively is turned on or off by a switching element. An inverter comprising, for example, a full bridge is provided in the next stage of the smoothing capacitor.
