Abstract: A display device includes a supporting member, and a display member detachably joined to the supporting member. The display member includes a first case 20, first connecting terminals 23, and a first joint surface 31. The supporting member includes a second case 36, second connecting terminals 38, and a second joint surface 40. The first case 20 has a terminal mounting hole 42 formed. The first connecting terminal 23 is inserted into the terminal mounting hole 42. The first case 20 has a first seal member 47 that seals a gap between the first connecting terminal 23 and the terminal mounting hole 42. The distal end of the first seal member 47 is exposed on the first joint surface 31, comes into contact with the second joint surface 40, and surrounds the distal ends of the first and second connecting terminals 23 and 38 to each other.

Abstract: A door lock control apparatus includes a lock switch on an exterior of a vehicle, a controller, and a check device. The controller performs a first key check in response to a lock command inputted through the lock switch. The first key check determines whether an electronic key specific to the vehicle is located outside around the vehicle based on a response from the key. The check device has previously performed a second key check, after the key has been put into a situation in which the key might have been moved from inside to outside the vehicle. The second key check determines whether the key is located inside the vehicle based on the response from the key. The check device stores a result of the second key check as a stored check record, which is then immediately available for checking when the controller responds to an inputted lock command.

Abstract: An automatic locking apparatus which is installed in a vehicle, communicates with a portable-unit in areas inside/outside the vehicle, and automatically locks doors, based on whether a response-signal is received from the portable-unit and opening/closing of the doors. The apparatus includes a door-opening/closing-detecting-unit, an inside-of-vehicle-determining-unit forming a communication-area inside the vehicle when one door changes from the opened-state to the closed-state, and determining whether the response-signal is received, an outside-of-vehicle-determining-unit forming a communication-area outside the vehicle when the response-signal is not received, and determining whether the response-signal is received, a locking-control-unit automatically locking the doors when the response-signal is received, when all the doors are closed and presence-of-reception is changed to absence-of-reception, and a storing-unit storing history-information indicating that the response-signal is received.

Abstract: A battery pack is disclosed. The battery pack includes a battery, an impact sensor, a processor and a memory. The impact sensor is capable of generating an impact signal in response to a detection of an impact on the battery pack. The processor is capable of generating impact information based on the impact signal, and processor continues to count a number of charging times to the battery after the generation of the impact information. The memory is capable of storing the impact information and the number of charging times. The processor can refer to the memory to deliver a control command to a battery charger so that the battery can only be charged up to an allowable charge capacity smaller than a full charge capacity after an occurrence of an impact when the battery pack is attached to the battery charger. The charging to the battery stops when the number of the counted charging times reaches a predetermined number of allowable charging times that is allowed after the generation of the impact information.
