  • Publication number: 20160083292
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a tempered glass sheet includes: an arrangement step of arranging a plurality of glass sheets to be tempered, each having a substantially rectangular shape and a sheet thickness of 1.0 mm or less, in a support in an upright posture in a thickness direction at an interval of 10 mm or less, to thereby obtain an arrangement of glass sheets to be tempered; a tempering step of immersing the arrangement of glass sheets to be tempered in an ion exchange solution so as to subject the arrangement of glass sheets to be tempered to ion exchange treatment, to thereby obtain an arrangement of tempered glass sheets; an annealing step of annealing the arrangement of tempered glass sheets; and a removal step of removing each of tempered glass sheets forming the arrangement of tempered glass sheets from the support.

  • Publication number: 20120113773
    Abstract: A CAN driver receives vehicle information sent onto CAN. A diagnosis information acquiring module monitors whether an operation of a diagnosis record ECU itself is normal or not and thus generates diagnosis information. A timestamp information generating module generates timestamp information A per sec and generates timestamp information B in which a time difference from the generation timing of the timestamp information A is expressed on the unit of 1/100 sec. A diagnosis record module, each time the timestamp information generating module generates the timestamp information A, transfers a first type record containing the timestamp information A and the diagnosis information generated at this point of time to a memory manager, and transfers a second type record containing the vehicle information and the timestamp information B generated at this point of time to the memory manager.

  • Patent number: 8069827
    Abstract: A drive component for driving an electric water pump for causing engine coolant to flow is mounted in an engine compartment. When the ignition is off and the temperature of a exhaust heat recovery device is above a temperature, an ECU estimates a peak temperature in the engine compartment after the stop of the engine. When the peak temperature is above a temperature, the ECU stops the engine and drives the electric water pump and an electric fan for cooling the drive component for driving the electric water pump.

  • Publication number: 20100250061
    Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a control unit controlling an in-vehicle device and a status information acquisition unit acquiring status information of a vehicle and output the acquired status information to the control unit. In the vehicle control device, the control unit specifies a failure-cause-verification information to be used for verifying a cause of a failure from among the status information acquired by the status information acquisition unit, the failure-cause-verification information being specified by using a timing when a predetermined fail-safe control is started as a reference, the timing being determined based on the status information acquired by the status information acquisition unit, and the control unit stores the specified failure-cause-verification information in a predetermined storage medium.

  • Patent number: 5912512
    Abstract: An engine start control apparatus, includes a code storing device which stores a plurality of normal codes which indicate a normal vehicle key belonging to a vehicle and a key corresponding to the normal vehicle key, and an immobilizer which determines as to whether an inherent code input form one of a signal input device and an inherent code input device is included in the normal codes stored in the code storing device, and on the basis of the results of determination, the immobilizer controls permitting/prohibiting the starting of the engine. Therefore, when the normal code of the plurality of normal codes and the input inherent code match, the immobilizer permits the starting of the engine.
