Abstract: A communication apparatus capable of performing near field communication acquires communication information of a target apparatus through the near field communication, determines whether or not the target apparatus is connected to an access point to which the communication apparatus is connected, on the basis of the communication information, and accepts the target apparatus as a target to which the communication apparatus is to be connected by using a peer-to-peer communication system, when it is determined that the target apparatus is not connected to the access point to which the communication apparatus is connected.

Abstract: A wireless communication monitoring system for monitoring a hardware failure of a wireless communication unit of a wireless communication device using a remote monitoring control device, in which the wireless communication device transmits or receives a predetermined radio signal to or from a monitoring device added or attached to the host device to perform a life and death check for checking an operation, and the remote monitoring control device detects a hardware failure of the wireless communication unit of the wireless communication device on the basis of a result of the life and death check received from the wireless communication device. This makes it possible to detect a failure that cannot be detected from information obtained from a device state request to a wireless communication device of the related art.

Abstract: An air-intake duct for a vehicle, which couples a throttle device for controlling an air-intake amount of an engine to an air cleaner for cleaning air guided to the throttle device, includes a tubular wall forming an inlet through which air from the air cleaner flows into the air-intake duct; an outlet through which the air flows out to the throttle device; and an air-intake passage connecting the inlet to the outlet; wherein the tubular wall includes an injector attaching portion to which an injector for injecting fuel to the air-intake passage is attached, and the injector attaching portion has a fuel injection opening section communicating with the air-intake passage.

Abstract: A method for forming an identifying indicia on a cathode ray tube being manufactured, which method is practiced by applying a paint containing a powdered metal to a particular exterior surface portion of a glass envelope, forming a part of the cathode ray tube, to form a solid paint layer, followed by the radiation of a laser beam onto at least a portion of the solid paint layer to form the identifying indicia represented by at least one trace of plasticized deformation on a surface region of the solid paint layer.

Abstract: A shadow mask type color cathode-ray tube has support springs and a shadow mask. The shadow mask has an aperture comprising a spherical part having many electron beam through-holes; a skirt part being substantially perpendicular to the spherical part; and a flange part extended from the skirt part to substantially parallel to the spherical part in one piece. The thickness of the skirt part and the flange part are thicker than that of the part having the electron beam through-holes. The shadow mask is supported by the support spring to absorb a shock or to decrease an amplitude in a resonance.
