Patent number: 10417016Abstract: When a verification result by a verifier is a success, an electronic control unit activates a rewriting target program stored in a second storage, and transmits a verification result reply signal that indicates that the verification result is a success to a relay apparatus. When a verification result by the verifier is a failure, the electronic control unit activates a communication control program stored in a first storage, and transmits a verification result reply signal that indicates that the verification result is a failure to the relay apparatus. Upon receiving the verification result reply signal that indicates that the verification result is a success, the relay apparatus identifies a correct rewriting operation with the rewriting target program. In contrast, upon receiving the verification result reply signal that indicates that the verification result is a failure, the relay apparatus identifies an incorrect rewriting operation with the rewriting target program.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2016Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Naoki Nakabayashi, Takumi Nakagawa

Patent number: 8814431Abstract: A side seal attached to each of both ends of a slider of a linear guide in a sliding direction and sliding in contact with a guide rail includes: a seal main body formed by shaping an elastic material using a mold and sliding in contact with the guide rail; and a holder for housing and holding the seal main body. A gate burr housing for an elastic-material gate burr of the seal main body is formed in a seal main body holder housing. This eliminates the need of complete cutting or elimination of the elastic-material gate burr of the seal main body, and improves assembling performance. The gate burr housing is formed at a front or rear side of the seal main body housing of the holder, and the elastic-material gate burr of the seal main body is formed at a corresponding portion to the gate burr housing.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2011Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: NSK Ltd.Inventor: Takumi Nakagawa
