Abstract: A communication apparatus includes a sharing unit that shares a plurality of communication parameters for connecting to an external apparatus via a first communication with the external apparatus via a second communication different from the first communication, and a connection unit that connects to the external apparatus via the first communication using the shared plurality of communication parameters, wherein the sharing unit shares a first communication parameter of the plurality of communication parameters with a higher priority over a second communication parameter, wherein the first communication parameter is information for joining a same network with the external apparatus via the first communication, and wherein the second communication parameter is information for communicating with the external apparatus in the network via the first communication.

Abstract: An illumination light source includes a light emitting module having a light emitting part, a circuit unit, a base, a tube-like first housing member to accommodate the circuit unit, and a second housing member having a plurality of radiation fins. The light emitting module is disposed on one opening-side of the first housing member, while the base is disposed on the other opening-side. The second housing member includes a rotary ring body with a rotation axis agreeing with the center axis of the first housing member, and the plurality of the plate-lake radiation fins. The plurality of the radiation fins is parallel to one virtual plane containing the rotation axis, and disposed at intervals between each other in the direction orthogonal to the virtual plane. The inner wall of the rotary ring body surrounds the outer walls of the first and second housing members to combine the members.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an internal combustion engine, a first rotating electric machine starting the internal combustion engine, a power control unit for operating the first rotating electric machine, a power storage device for supplying electric power to the power control unit, and a control device controlling the power control unit such that a voltage of the power storage device does not fall below a lower limit. When a change condition including a condition that the internal combustion engine is being operated is met, the control device sets the lower limit at a value lower than while the internal combustion engine is at a stop. Preferably, the change condition further includes a condition that a magnitude of voltage change of the power storage device is less than or equal to a first threshold value in addition to the condition that the internal combustion engine is being operated.

Abstract: A transmission includes an input shaft which rotates synchronously with a crankshaft, an output shaft, which rotates synchronously with a driving wheel, a shift drum of a rotary type which engages with a shift fork to drive at least one slide gear, and a rotary stopper mechanism including a friction spring frictionally engaged in a circumferential recessed groove provided in an outer periphery of the output shaft, a rocker arm biased by the friction spring toward the shift drum in accordance with rotation of the output shaft, and an engagement recessed portion provided in an outer periphery of the shift drum to restrict rotation of the shift drum through engagement with the rocker arm. Accordingly, cost is reduced as compared to a conventional transmission, and heat generation of the friction spring is minimized.

Abstract: A method for controlling a communication apparatus includes transmitting, before establishing a communication with an external apparatus, an advertisement signal for providing notification of an existence of the communication apparatus, and establishing a communication between the communication apparatus and a partner apparatus which has responded to the advertisement signal. The advertisement signal includes control information indicating whether to transmit a content in response to an operation on the communication apparatus or to transmit the content in response to an operation on the partner apparatus. After establishment of the communication between the communication apparatus and the partner apparatus, based on the control information included in the advertisement signal, processing for transmitting the content to the partner apparatus is controlled.

Abstract: The invention relates to an engine operation start control device of a hybrid vehicle comprising a power output device having an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. In this hybrid vehicle, an intermittent control for intermittently operating the engine can be performed and when the operation of the engine is started during the intermittent control being performed, a cranking of the engine is performed until the engine speed reaches a target engine speed. According to the invention, in case that the operation of the engine is started when the speed of the hybrid vehicle is higher than or equal to a predetermined speed and a power required for the power output device is larger than or equal to a predetermined power, the engine speed, which increases as the speed of the hybrid vehicle increases, is set as the target engine speed.
