Abstract: In a keyless entry system, a CPU in an ECU and a CPU in a remote control key each have an associated memory for storing respective function formulas, which are specified by primary function formula data. With this structure, function formulas used in the remote control key and the ECU can be changed to respective new function formulas. This technique makes it difficult to predict the function formulas used in the remote control key and the ECU, thereby further reducing any regularity of rolling codes generated by the function formulas.

The first antenna is positioned between the first transmitter and the second antenna in the key insertion state.

Abstract: To provide implement a spin-polarized electron generating device having high spin polarization and high external quantum efficiency while allowing a certain degree of freedom in selecting materials of a substrate, a buffer layer, and a strained superlattice layer. In a spin-polarized electron generating device having a substrate, a buffer layer, and a strained superlattice layer formed on the buffer layer, an intermediate layer formed of a crystal having a lattice constant greater than that of a crystal used to form the buffer layer intervenes between the substrate and the buffer layer. With this arrangement, tensile strain causes cracks to be formed in the buffer layer in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, whereby the buffer layer has mosaic-like appearance. As a result, glide dislocations in an oblique direction do not propagate to the strained superlattice layer to be grown on the buffer layer, thereby improving crystallinity of the strained superlattice layer.

Abstract: In a keyless entry system, a CPU in an ECU and a CPU in a remote control key change a function formula specified by primary function formula data stored in a memory and a function formula specified by primary function formula data stored in a memory to respective new function formulas. With this structure, function formulas used in the remote control key and the ECU can be changed to respective new function formulas. This makes it possible to enhance the safety of the keyless entry system because it is difficult to predict the function formulas used in the remote control key and the ECU.
