Abstract: An auxiliary power supply unit includes an auxiliary power supply device and a downstream power supply line group connecting the auxiliary power supply device to motor units. The auxiliary power supply device includes: an auxiliary power supply provided on a power supply path; and a switching circuit configured to switch the connection state of the auxiliary power supply to the power supply path. The connection state of the auxiliary power supply includes a boost state in which the auxiliary power supply is connected in series with the external power supply. The downstream power supply line group includes branch first downstream drive lines and branch second downstream drive lines. Each of the upstream ends of the branch first downstream drive lines and the branch second downstream drive lines is connected to the power supply path at a position downstream of the auxiliary power supply.

Abstract: To take security into account and increase user friendliness, an information processing device includes: an input unit to which information is input; an extracting unit extracting predetermined words from the information input to the input unit; a classifying unit classifying the words extracted by the extracting unit into first words and second words; and a converting unit converting the first words by a first conversion method and converting the second words by a second conversion method, the second conversion method being different from the first conversion method.

Abstract: A device is equipped with an electrical connector in the form of a receptacle that is subject to liquid intrusion. The device detects the insertion of a mating connector and optionally detects the presence of liquid in the receptacle by applying a low power, pulsed sense signal to a terminal pin of the receptacle while the terminal pin is decoupled from a circuit part to which the terminal pin is normally coupled and concurrently sensing a voltage coupled from the terminal pin and comparing the voltage to at least a predetermined lower voltage bound and optionally a predetermined upper voltage bound and based on the results of those comparison deduces the presence of a mating connector or optionally the presence of liquid in the receptacle.

Abstract: An attitude detector installed in a cabinet detects the current attitude of the cabinet. Control circuitry suppresses radiated output power of a wireless transceiver in accordance with the current attitude of the cabinet, which is detected by the attitude detection unit. The attitude detection unit obtains two angles ? and ? based on x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis outputs of a three-axis acceleration sensor, for example. The control circuitry determines the necessity or lack thereof of the suppression of the radiated output power in accordance with a combination of the angle values.

Abstract: An antenna integrated harness in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: a wire harness formed by bundling a plurality of electric cables; an antenna element which is two-dimensional planar and is provided on, while conforming to, a surface of the wire harness; and a feed line connected with the antenna element and bundled with the plurality of electric cables.

Abstract: An antenna device includes: a plate-like antenna having an electrically conductive path arranged in a two-dimensional manner, the electrically conductive path having a meander shape which is made up of at least one return pattern; and a base member, while causing the antenna to be spaced away from an outer surface of a body containing an electrically conductive material layer of a movable body, holding the antenna in such a manner as to conform to the outer surface, the base member being made from a dielectric material.

Abstract: An information-processing apparatus comprises an acquisition unit configured to acquire information about a communication-method type from a display device connected to the information-processing apparatus, a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the display device is adapted to receive data on digital contents by using a predetermined copyright-protection technology based on the communication-method-type information, a conversion unit configured to convert an image quality of the digital contents based on the determination result, and an output unit configured to transmit the converted digital contents to the display device.
