Abstract: A seat state changing apparatus changing seat states between a first state and a second state includes an actuator moving a seat between the first state and the second state, a change detection portion detecting a change according to a load applied to the seat when changing seat states, a determination portion determining that the seat is assumed to be a predetermined state when an amount of change in accordance with the change according to the load applied to the seat is greater than a predetermined determination threshold value, and a determination threshold value changing portion changing the predetermined determination threshold value when an engaging member, which is configured to engage with the seat, engages with the seat during a movement of the seat between the first state and the second state.

Abstract: A memory card receives an encrypted application program from a host apparatus. The memory card includes an Integrated Circuit (IC) card unit having a tamper resistant function, and a flash memory unit. The IC card unit also includes a tamper resistant storage unit, a program acquisition unit that acquires the encrypted application program from the host apparatus, a storage control unit which stores the acquired encrypted application program in the tamper resistant storage unit or the flash memory unit, and a move control unit. The memory control unit, when the application program stored in the tamper resistant storage unit is to be executed and the size of the application program to be executed in the decrypted form exceeds the size of free space of the tamper resistant storage unit, moves an arbitrary encrypted application program stored in the tamper resistant storage unit to the flash memory unit.

Abstract: A seat apparatus for a vehicle includes a seat for a vehicle, a seat driving portion driving the seat to change a seat position, a controlling portion controlling an operation of the seat driving portion to change the seat position to a predetermined position, and an input portion receiving a control command relative to the controlling portion. The controlling portion includes an assembly control mode in which an operation of the seat driving portion is controlled on a basis of the control command input to the input portion by an assembly input operation performed when the vehicle is assembled and includes a normal control mode in which the operation of the seat driving portion is controlled on a basis of the control command input to the input portion by a normal input operation performed when the vehicle is used by a user.

Abstract: A memory card of the present invention is a memory card which receives an encrypted application program from a host apparatus, the encrypted application program being downloaded to the host apparatus, the memory card including: an Integrated Circuit (IC) card unit having a tamper resistant function; and a flash memory unit, wherein the IC card unit includes: a tamper resistant storage unit; a program acquisition unit which acquires the encrypted application program from the host apparatus; a storage control unit which stores the acquired encrypted application program in the tamper resistant storage unit or the flash memory unit; and a move control unit which, when the application program stored in the tamper resistant storage unit is to be executed and the size of the to-be-executed application program in the decrypted form exceeds the size of free space of the tamper resistant storage unit, moves an arbitrary encrypted application program stored in the tamper resistant storage unit to the flash memory unit.

Abstract: There is provided a communication terminal for preventing an owner of a destination communication terminal from divulging personal information to a third party. When an owner of a communication terminal (11) passes to a destination communication terminal (12) his or her personal information on which he or she desires to place disclosure restrictions, a presentation attribute which is set to “not permitting presentation” is transmitted together with the personal information. When the destination communication terminal (12) passes the personal information of the communication terminal (11) to another communication terminal, the presentation attribute of the personal information of the communication terminal (11) is checked in the destination communication terminal (12). If the presentation attribute is set to “not permitting presentation”, the destination communication terminal (12) prevents itself from transmitting the personal information to the other communication terminal.

Abstract: A device that performs a master/slave switching process dynamically changing a device functioning as a master device in a network in consideration of fixed device performances and also variable device states is provided. A device's own device information managing section (15) of a master device (1) manages device's own device information regarding its own device. Another device information managing section (16) manages other device information regarding other devices, which are slave devices. A schedule information managing section (17) manages schedule information regarding master device candidates. A device information processing section (13) obtains predetermined information, such as the remaining amount of battery, from a slave device specified based on the other device information and the schedule information at a predetermined time.

Abstract: A communications device for fetching data received from some other device from a receive buffer into a memory managed by software, responding to an occurrence of a receive interrupt or a timer interrupt. A frequent occurrence of the receive interrupt or the timer interrupt leads to smooth establishment of a communications link with the other device, but results in reduction of the communications efficiency unless adopting a CPU higher in throughput or additional hardware. In the communications device, determination is made whether a communications link has been established or not. If established, the data is fetched in response to only the timer interrupt. If not, the data is fetched in response to either the receive interrupt or the timer interrupt. Consequently, the communications efficiency can be successfully improved, and the link can be smoothly established, without depending on CPU or hardware throughput.

Abstract: A fuel injection control apparatus includes a fuel injection device 14 and an electronic control unit (ECU) 30. The fuel injection device includes a plurality of injectors 9 mounted on a delivery pipe 10, a memory 43 which stores an injection characteristic of each injector 9 provided in the pipe 10, a driving circuit 41, and others. The ECU 30 calculates a control amount, which is equivalent to an injection amount to be injected from one injector 9 each time, based on an injector standard characteristic, refers to a memory 43 to correct characteristic data of each injector 9 corresponding to the control amount, and outputs. The driving circuit 41 of the fuel injection device 14 controls each injector 9 based on the corrected control amount to individually controls the fuel injection amount of each injector 9.
