Abstract: An engine start abnormality diagnosis apparatus determines a cause of a long cranking abnormality in which, when an engine including cylinders is started, start of the engine is not completed even if a cranking period is equal to or greater than a predetermined time. The engine start abnormality diagnosis apparatus includes a rotation speed detector and an abnormality diagnosis processor. The rotation speed detector detects a rotation speed of a crankshaft of the engine when at least one of the cylinders is in a latter stage of a compression stroke. The abnormality diagnosis processor determines that the cause of the long cranking abnormality is an electric system abnormality when the rotation speed is less than a predetermined threshold, and determines that the cause of the long cranking abnormality is a combustion abnormality when the rotation speed is equal to or greater than the threshold.

Abstract: Alpha-Alumina flakes having a particle thickness of 130-400 nm, a D50-value of 15-30 ?m, a D90-value of 30-45 ?m and a D10-value of <9.5 ?m. Use of the alumina flakes in varnishes, paints, automotive coatings printing inks, masterbatches, plastics and cosmetic formulations. Also, use of the alumina flakes as a substrate for effect pigments and in organic dyes.

Abstract: A reporting device includes an emergency reporting section that sends, to a response system via a communication control section, first emergency information including at least one of no-occupant information indicating that no occupant is present in a moving body and autonomous driving mode setting information indicating that the moving body is set in an autonomous driving mode when recognizing that a shock has occurred in the moving body based on shock occurrence information while it is recognized by a driving mode recognizing section that the moving body is set in the autonomous driving mode and it is recognized by an occupant recognizing section that no occupant is present in the moving body.

Abstract: An EGR device for a vehicle includes a valve driver, a pressure comparison unit, a freeze determination unit, and an EGR controller. The valve driver drives an EGR valve to open, when fuel cut has been continued for a predetermined time in a state where an engine speed of a vehicle's engine is equal to or higher than a predetermined rotational speed. The pressure comparison unit compares a pre-driving pressure of an engine's intake pipe with a post-driving pressure of the intake pipe. The freeze determination unit sets a flag indicating that the EGR valve is frozen when a difference between the pre-driving pressure and the post-driving pressure is less than a predetermined value and an external temperature is less than a threshold. When the flag has been set, the EGR controller sets a control state of the EGR valve to a closed state and stops EGR control.

Abstract: A vehicle including: a communicator configured to communicate with an external terminal; an acquirer configured to acquire detection results acquired by sensors disposed in predetermined portions of the vehicle; an estimator configured to estimate submerged portions of the vehicle that is submerged on the basis of the detection results acquired by the acquirer; and a controller configured to change a communication destination of the vehicle by controlling the communicator in accordance with the submerged portions estimated by the estimator.
