Abstract: An upper end portion of a shock absorber of a front suspension is fixed to a suspension tower body portion of a suspension tower, and an upper arm of the front suspension is coupled to the suspension tower body portion of the suspension tower. This suspension tower body portion is formed integrally with a side member constituting portion that defines part of a closed cross-sectional shape of a front side member. Thus, in comparison with a configuration in which one or a plurality of combination portions are provided between the suspension tower and the front side member, it is possible to contribute toward more efficiently transmitting a load from the front suspension to the front side member.

Abstract: An electronic device capable of controlling a power state of an external device from a first power state (ex. “Standby”) to a second power state (ex. “ON”) includes a determination unit operable to determine whether information indicating linkage is stored in a storage unit when it is detected that communication between the electronic device and the external device is enabled, and a transmitting unit operable to transmit a control signal for controlling power state of the external device. When the information indicating linkage is not stored in the storage unit, the transmitting unit stores the information indicating linkage and transmits the control signal for controlling power state of the external device to the second power state to the external device. When the information indicating linkage is stored in the storage unit, the transmitting unit refrains from transmitting the control signal to the external device.
