  • Publication number: 20120012082
    Abstract: A housing has an intake passage extending substantially in a vertical direction of a vehicle. A valve is configured to open and close the intake passage. A shaft supports the valve. A bearing supports the shaft. A hose is connected with an upper side of the housing in the vertical direction and configured to lead intake air into the intake passage. A communication passage configured to communicate an inside of an internal combustion engine of the vehicle with the hose. The communication passage has an opening in the vicinity of a point directly above the bearing. The hose has a wall surface defining a condensate passage, which connects the opening with a target location from which condensate is to be dropped.

  • Publication number: 20120012081
    Abstract: A housing has an intake passage extending substantially in a vertical direction of a vehicle. A valve is configured to open and dose the intake passage. A shaft supports the valve. A bearing supports the shaft. A hose is connected with an upper side of the housing in the vertical direction and configured to lead intake air into the intake passage. A communication passage configured to communicate an inside of an internal combustion engine of the vehicle with the hose. The communication passage has an opening in the vicinity of a point directly above the bearing. The hose has a wall surface defining a condensate passage, which connects the opening with a target location from which condensate is to be dropped.

  • Publication number: 20070161404
    Abstract: To reduce costs of developing mobile communication terminals such as PHS communication terminals and facilitate development of mobile communication terminals by a manufacturer that does not have wireless communication technology. A new wireless communication module that is a separate small module comprising only wireless communication portion and a new terminal supporting the wireless communication module are proposed. The wireless communication module of the invention is used by being inserted to a corresponding slot of a terminal supporting the wireless communication module of the invention that has a configuration excluding wireless communication portion from a conventional mobile communication terminal. The present invention reduces burdens of development on terminal manufacturers. The invention also enables a manufacturer that does not have wireless communication technology to develop an original terminal.
