Abstract: A vehicular ECU (electronic control unit) is any one of a plurality of vehicular ECUs connected to an in-vehicle network in a vehicle and includes: a service interface, a service bus, and a service manager. The service interface issues a request of service that uses a function installed in a different vehicular ECU based on a request from the application, and makes the application generate a service as a response to a request of service from the different vehicular ECU. The service bus transmits and receives a message corresponding to a request of service and a response by using a predetermined protocol between the service interfaces of the vehicular ECU and the different vehicular ECU. The service manager achieves the service to be dynamically and interoperably used by managing a position of the service.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image diagnostic apparatus includes a gantry, columns, gantry drive motors, position detectors, and gantry control circuitry. The gantry has a bore along a vertical direction. The columns movably support the gantry along the vertical direction, with one end of the bore facing a floor surface and the gantry being interposed between the columns. The gantry drive motors move the gantry along the vertical direction. The position detectors detect support positions at which the gantry is supported in each of the columns. The gantry control circuitry determines whether or not movement of the gantry along the vertical direction is possible, based on information regarding misalignment between the support positions.

Abstract: A urethane bumper spring is produced from a urethane raw material containing a polyester-based polyol as a polyol component and diphenylmethane diisocyanate as an isocyanate component, and includes: a skin layer; and a core portion, in which the skin layer has a density (Da) and a foamed cell diameter (Ra), and the core portion has a density (Db) and a foamed cell diameter (Rb). The density (Da), the foamed cell diameter (Ra), the density (Db), and the foamed cell diameter (Rb) satisfy relationships shown in the following expressions: 1.0?Da/Db<1.34 (1) and 0.53<Ra/Rb?1.0 (2). Accordingly, the urethane bumper spring can achieve a cost reduction while having durability and settling resistance under high load and high deformation.

Abstract: A connector housing includes a housing body and a fitting operation lever that has a swinging portion attached to the housing body rotatably. A part of the rib protruding toward the swinging portion narrows an interval between a curved portion of the housing body and the swinging portion to a predetermined value or below. A part of the rib protruding toward a direction separating from a lower surface of the housing body has a flat face. A distance between the rotary axis of the swinging portion and the flat face is larger than a distance between the rotary axis and a part of an outer circumferential edge of the swinging portion.

Abstract: A service cooperation system enables a use of a function provided by an in-vehicle apparatus or an external apparatus as a service. The service cooperation system for the vehicle includes a service interface, a local service bus, a service bus, and an integrated application. The service interface of a subject apparatus provides the service generated in the subject apparatus to a different apparatus. The local service bus transmits and receives a message between the service interface of the subject apparatus and the service interface of the different apparatus. The service bus is virtually configured by a connection of the local service bus of the subject apparatus and the local service bus of the different apparatus. The integrated application functions as the application and enables a cooperated use of an in-vehicle service and an external service through the service bus.

Abstract: A lithium ion secondary battery excellent in cycle characteristics and rate characteristics is provided. The present invention relates to a lithium secondary battery having an electrolyte solution comprising one or more compounds selected from a fluorinated ether and a fluorinated phosphate ester and a separator comprising an aramid resin.

Abstract: A lever-type connector includes a housing and a lever. The lever is pivotally mounted on the housing, and is pivotally operable between a temporary locking position and a fitting completion position. The lever includes a pair of side plates and an operating portion. A lock portion is provided on the housing, and locks the lever positioned at the fitting completion position. The housing is configured to be fitted to a mating housing by rotating the lever from a fitting start position to the fitting completion position. The housing has a pair of walls that are provided at both sides of the lock portion. Arm protection walls are provided on upper edges of the pair of walls respectively with extending inward so as to cover both sides of the flexible arm portion of the lock portion.
