  • Patent number: 10655976
    Abstract: A replenishment recommendation system (1) is provided with a recommendation generation trigger point computation unit (32) configured to compute a recommendation generation trigger point given as a remaining amount of energy that triggers an energy replenishment recommendation to the driver to replenish energy based on past remaining amounts stored in a storage unit, and a recommendation generation unit (33) configured to display a replenishment recommendation indication on a display unit when a current energy remaining amount of the vehicle has become equal to or less than the recommendation generation trigger point. The storage unit stores, as the past remaining amount, a remaining amount of energy of the vehicle when a replenishment intent switch (38) is operated by a driver.

  • Patent number: 9919599
    Abstract: A terminal detection unit detects a mobile terminal located inside a vehicle. An action history information generation unit and storage unit associate the mobile terminal detected by the terminal detection unit and an action of the vehicle associated with each other and store them as action history information. An action suggestion unit searches the action history information stored in the storage unit for the action associated with the mobile terminal detected by the terminal detection unit and suggests the found action to a passenger of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 6080487
    Abstract: A multi-layer article comprising a substrate and a dehydrofluorinated fluoropolymer, wherein the dehydrofluorinated polymer contains substantially no grafted adhesion-promoting groups, and the dehydrofluorinated fluoropolymer contains sufficient carbon-carbon unsaturation to increase the adhesion between the dehydrofluorinated fluoropolymer and the substrate.

  • Patent number: 5855977
    Abstract: A multi-layer article comprises a substantially non-fluorinated layer, and a fluorinated layer of fluoropolymer comprising interpolymerized monomeric units derived from one or more of hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene monomers, one or more non-fluorinated olefinically unsaturated monomer, and substantially no vinylidene fluoride monomer. The multi-layer article further comprises an aliphatic di-, or polyamine which provides increased adhesion between the layers as compared to a multi-layer article not containing the aliphatic di-, or polyamine. The multi-layer article can be prepared by mixing the aliphatic di-, or polyamine into the substantially non-fluorinated polymeric material, or by applying the aliphatic di-, or polyamine to a surface of one or more of the substantially non-fluorinated polymeric material or the fluoropolymer, and thereafter preparing a multi-layer article.
