  • Patent number: 8648489
    Abstract: A power supply control device for a vehicle includes a plurality of electrical loadings installed in a vehicle; a feeding part configured to supply electric power to the electrical loadings; and a presumption part configured to presume an electrical power demand for operating the electrical loadings based on sign information for foreseeable operations of the electrical loadings. Electrical power supply from the feeding part to each electrical loading is adjusted based on the result of presumption by the presumption part.

  • Patent number: 8041747
    Abstract: A data search device that is provided in a communication apparatus detects a memory area storing data to be transmitted from a memory unit having memory areas defined by IDs allotted to data. The data search device includes: a first flag that is provided for each of the memory areas of the memory unit, and indicate whether the data in the corresponding memory area is updated; a second flag that is provided for each group consisting of a predetermined number of the first flags, and indicates a data update state when at least one set of data in the first flags in the corresponding group indicates an updated state; and a search control unit that detects the memory area storing the data to be transmitted, by searching for the corresponding first flag after detecting the second flag.
