Abstract: A lock device for a vehicle includes a base plate provided with an entrance/retracting groove for receiving or retracting a striker and a latch pivotally supported on the base plate by a latch axis. The latch includes a lock groove engaging with or disengaging from the striker entering the entrance/retracting groove and rotatable between a lock release position allowing the striker entering into the entrance/retracting groove and a lock position for holding the striker in the entrance/retracting groove by the movement of the striker. A first biasing member is provided for biasing the latch in the rotational direction to the release position to bias the pawl in a rotational direction towards the release preventing position and a second biasing member is provided for biasing the rotation plate in a rotational direction towards the release position of the latch.

Abstract: The termination circuit for use in a transmission line to transmit a differential signal includes a first series circuit of a resistive element and an inductive element connected between one of two signal wires of the transmission line and a reference potential, and a second series circuit of a resistive element and an inductive element connected between the other of the signal wires and the reference potential. The inductive elements of the first and second series circuits are magnetically coupled such that they generate magnetic fields having such directions as to reinforce each other when a common-mode signal flows along the transmission line, and generate magnetic fields having such directions as to weaken each other when a differential-mode signal flows along the transmission line.
