Abstract: A vehicle includes a frame, a steering assembly, an engine, a seat, an intake assembly, at least two electrical conductors, and an electrical coupler. The intake assembly includes a snorkel and a cover member. The snorkel includes an inlet and outlet port. The inlet port has a neck portion that defines an opening. The cover member is in fluid communication with the inlet port of the snorkel. The electrical coupler is engaged with the at least two electrical conductors and is configured to facilitate selective manual electrical disconnection of the at least two electrical conductors. A first imaginary plane intersects the opening and is substantially horizontal. A second imaginary plane extends laterally across the vehicle, intersects the opening, and intersects the first imaginary plane at a right angle. The electrical coupler is disposed entirely above the first imaginary plane and entirely forwardly of the second imaginary plane.

Abstract: A mobile terminal measures the time from when the data communication connection was established up to the disconnection or the time from when the wireless connection was established up to the disconnection as a chargeable duration. The time in which the mobile terminal uses a network resource in a network or the time in which exchange of data was actually carried out is thus measured as the chargeable duration. Since the information relating to the chargeable duration measured in this manner is stored and displayed in the mobile terminal, it is possible for the mobile terminal to recognize the information relating to the chargeable duration without sending an inquiry to the network including a base station.

Abstract: When a request to start or a request to terminate mobile communication by a mobile communication terminal 2 or another exchange is received, a remaining communication volume update module 43 starts or stops updating a remaining communication volume information based on data communication by the mobile communication terminal 2. When a request to set or a request to reset a preservation state in the mobile communication by the mobile communication terminal 2 or another exchange is received, the remaining communication volume update module 43 stops or starts updating the remaining communication volume information based on data communication by the mobile communication terminal 2.
