Abstract: A communication control apparatus, system, and method, the apparatus including a determining module that determines whether a communication path is established between a permitting base station permitted to relay communication by the communication connection and a mobile phone unit, a permission instructing module that sends a permission signal that permits establishment of a communication path with the mobile phone unit and relaying of the communication to a rejecting base station that is present at a location enabling establishment of the communication path but is not permitted to relay the communication only when the determining module determines that the communication path is established, and a stop instructing module that sends a deletion signal that indicates deletion of the communication path that is established with the mobile phone unit to the rejecting base station when the determining module determines that the communication path is not established.

Abstract: In an electric power steering apparatus including a capacitor for smoothing out the voltage of a battery and a relay including a relay contact disposed at a place upstream of the capacitor, a path is provided for directly conducting a terminal voltage of the capacitor from a downstream side of the relay contact to a system power supply that generates a source voltage for a control system including a controller and the like, so that the system power supply and the control system that is supplied therefrom with electric power for control purpose are utilized as a discharge circuit. Thus is obtained a simplified configuration of circuit responsible for discharging the capacitor.
