Abstract: A remote control apparatus mountable on a vehicle includes an operation input device operable to point a position in a predetermined operation area, a lighting device for illuminating the operation input device, and a controller for controlling a brightness of the lighting device. The remote control apparatus has a self-diagnostic mode for diagnosing a fault in the operation input device. The controller controls the brightness of the lighting device such that the lighting device produces a illumination pattern corresponding to the position pointed by the operation input device, when the self-diagnostic mode is set.

Abstract: An input system for a vehicular device includes a display unit for displaying plural menu items, an operation unit for inputting instructions, a position detector for detecting the operation of the operation unit, a pointer control unit for pointing the plural menu items, an input determination unit for determining a selection input of the menu item, and an input process unit for processing the selection input.

Abstract: In an assembling structure of a vehicle center cluster, plural electrical devices are detachably assembled to a holding member to be removed from an inside of a passenger compartment while the holding member is fixed to a dashboard. Therefore, for example, when a CD deck is removed from the center cluster into the passenger compartment among the electrical devices, only the CD deck can be removed from the holding member into the passenger compartment without removing the other electrical devices, in a fixed state of the holding member to the dashboard. Accordingly, removing operation of the electrical devices can be made simple.

Abstract: An acupressure type rhinitis therapeutic device has at least three heat transfer acupressure members for transferring thermal stimulus from a heat source to a first acupressure point at the center of a glabella and to second acupressure points at opposite bottom sides of a nasal bone which are all effective acupoints in rhinitis therapy, which permits a user to obtain improved nasal blood circulation. A fire is not required as opposed to moxibution so that rhinitis can easily and safely be treated even at home. Further, there is little difference in the positions of the first and second acupressure points among individuals so that the rhinitis therapeutic device can be mass-produced.
