  • Publication number: 20190068510
    Abstract: A wired/wireless composite communication system and a wired/wireless composite communication method perform control to use wired communication for communication data having high priority and to use wireless communication for communication data having low priority among the types of communication data transmitted and received between communication devices provided within a vehicle. Specifically, the wired/wireless composite communication system and the wired/wireless composite communication method transmit wired communication data and wireless communication data divided on the basis of the priority set for each type of the communication data separately by wired communication and wireless communication, and couple the wired communication data and the wireless communication data separately received on a reception side to each other to reconstruct the communication data.

  • Patent number: 10122546
    Abstract: A wired-wireless hybrid communication system and a wired-wireless hybrid communication method perform control such that, of the types of communication data transmitted and received between communication devices provided in a vehicle, wired communication is used for high-priority communication data and wireless communication is used for low-priority communication data. Specifically, wired communication data and wireless communication data divided based on the priority defined for each type of the communication data are separately transmitted via wired communication and wireless communication, and the wired communication data and the wireless communication data separately received at the received side are combined to reconstruct the communication data.

  • Publication number: 20180233262
    Abstract: In a multilayer coil component, an end of a lower coil layer and an end of a connecting part are directly overlapped, and the end of the lower coil layer includes a contact edge positioned on a side of the connecting part and being in contact with the connecting part and a non-contact edge positioned on a side opposite to the connecting part and not being in contact with the connecting part. Then, the contact edge and the non-contact edge are not overlapped when viewed from a laminated direction. Consequently, a propagation distance of a crack becomes longer as compared with the case where an end face is parallel to the laminated direction, effectively suppressing advance of the crack. Suppressed advance of a crack in this manner makes the multilayer coil component provide a high component strength as a whole.
