  • Publication number: 20230336634
    Abstract: A server device includes: a communication interface; a memory configured to store the computer readable instructions and tag information assigned to a first user in association with user ID information about the first user owning a first terminal device; and a processor which is configured to receive, through the communication interface, source information in a free text related to the first user from at least one among one or a plurality of information storage devices on the basis of a predetermined instruction command stored in the memory, extract the tag information which may be assigned to the first user from the received source information, and perform processing for enabling the extracted tag information to be associated with the identification information of the first user and to be stored in the memory.

  • Patent number: 9778970
    Abstract: Provided is an onboard electronic control unit. A CPU regularly performs a memory check and, if a determination has been made that there is an error in the memory content, writes the number of times an error has been determined to an error count storage unit, and resets itself. Immediately after the CPU has been reset and before the first memory check is performed, an error determination unit determines whether or not the error count stored in the error count storage unit is at least an error determination threshold. If the error count is at least the error determination threshold, an error response unit causes the CPU to execute a specific error response program, out of the programs in the memory.

  • Patent number: 7830034
    Abstract: A connecting structure of a component in a wire harness includes a relay box connected to a circuit at a power supply side and a circuit at a headlamp side, and a control unit connected to the relay box. A connecting section of the relay box is configured to be selectively connected to either one of a headlamp control device and a relay for turning on and off low beam or high beam. Both of the headlamp control device and the relay have terminals of the same shape.

  • Patent number: 6879563
    Abstract: A multiplex communication system having a data repeater, which can prevent data from being lost so as to improve reliability of data communication, when a data repeater of a multiplex communication system repeats data. A multiplex communication system is made up of a plurality of communication groups including a plurality of communication lines and a data repeater. The data repeater is made up of receiving buffers, sending buffers, a data controller and a transfer-address table. The data controller selects multiplex communication lines through which the received data is to be repeated and transfers the received data thereto. The data controller has a priority-reset means for increasing a priority of a received data before being sent. The priority-reset means prioritizes a sending of the data from the data repeater, even if the data sent from the data repeater collides with the other data on the multiplex communication lines through which the received data is to be repeated.

  • Patent number: 6385166
    Abstract: In a multiplex communication system, a communication bus is connected to a communication bus disconnect control device. In the communication bus disconnect control device, a control section generates a communication bus disconnect signal when a trouble of the communication bus is detected. A communication bus disconnect device is provided for separating the communication bus into at least two communication bus groups in response to the communication bus disconnect signal.

  • Patent number: 6100658
    Abstract: A rotational speed sensor generates pulses having a period proportional to the speed of a motor, while a pulse period calculator section calculates the period of the pulses. A jamming determination section calculates the motor load based on the pulse period and detects that an object is jammed when the load exceeds a predetermined threshold. Once it has been judged than an object is jammed, a drive control section stops and controls the motor for reverse rotation, thereby releasing the object. A door opening and closing detection section further detects the opening or closing operation of a door which is one disturbance factor. If the door is opened or closed, an inhibit control section inhibits jamming judgment for a predetermined period of time thereafter. This prevents an incorrect judgment due to the opening or closing of the door.

  • Patent number: 5664295
    Abstract: A hose clamp includes a clamping main body and a fixing member. The clamping main body is formed as a circled-strip having opposite free ends so as to be capable of exhibiting an urging force for reducing its diameter, and clamps a hose member having a concavity at an end thereof. The fixing member is engaged with the opposite free ends of the clamping main body so as to inhibit the diameter of the clamping main body from reducing, and includes a projection extending at least in one of axial directions of the hose member, and being capable of engaging with the concavity of the hose member so as to position the clamping main body in a direction around the axis of the hose member. Thus, in a direction around the axis of the hose member, the clamping main body is positioned by the projection of the fixing member which is disposed independently of the clamping main body. Accordingly, even when the diameter of the hose member is varied, the width, thickness, etc.

  • Patent number: 5213596
    Abstract: An air cleaner device includes a filter element for filtering air and being disposed in a housing. The device comprises a hollow housing having an inlet portion, an outlet portion, and a flow passage therein which is communicated with the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The housing also has an opening which is disposed between the inlet portion and the outlet portion, and communicates the flow passage with the exterior of the housing. A filter element is inserted through the opening into the flow passage, disposed between the inlet portion and the outlet portion, so as to filter the air flowing through the flow passage. A lid is mounted on the housing for covering the opening. A resilient urging member allows the lid to be urged toward the housing so as to close the opening, and the resilient urging member allows the lid to be moved away from the opening when this urging is released.
