Abstract: A rotating tool (1) includes a tool body (5) including a polishing tool (2) and a shank (3), and a flange part (4) provided in the tool body (5). The polishing tool (2) includes a plurality of linear grinding members (6) and a grinding member holder (7) to hold the linear grinding members (6). The flange part (4) is an annular member (8), and attached to the grinding member holder (7) in a state of being movable in the direction of an axial line (L) and rotatable about the axial line (L). When the inner circumferential surface of a hole (H) formed in a workpiece (W) is processed, the grinding member holder (7) and the annular member (8) are inserted into the hole (H). When the run-out on the front side of the rotating tool (1) occurs, the annular member (8) comes into contact with the peripheral wall surface of the hole (H), whereby the run-out of the tool body (5) is reduced.

Abstract: A communication unit connects an e-mail data transfer protocol to transfer e-mail data item via near-field wireless communications with an external device. A retrieval unit retrieves the e-mail data item transferred from the external device when the protocol is connected. A storage unit stores the retrieved e-mail data item. A control unit causes the external device to transfer the e-mail data item in each indication unit of the indication device thereby to cause the storage unit to store the retrieved e-mail data item, when the protocol is connected, and even when a user does not implement a browsing operation of an e-mail list. The control unit further causes an indication device to indicate the e-mail list of the stored e-mail data item when the user implements the browsing operation.

An e-mail data storage unit stores the e-mail data items transferred from the external device. The control unit does not cause the external device to transfer the e-mail data items when the e-mail data transfer protocol is connected and when a total number of subjects of the e-mail data items and a data content of a latest e-mail data item stored in the external device respectively coincide with a total number of subjects of the e-mail data items and a data content of a latest e-mail data item stored in the e-mail data storage unit, at the time point when the e-mail data transfer protocol is connected between the communication unit and the external device.

Abstract: A brush-like grinding stone (3) in a polishing brush (1) includes a brush holder (6) and a linear member aggregate (7) detachably held in the brush holder (6). The linear member aggregate (7) includes a large number of bundles (51) of the linear members (50) obtained by hardening aggregated yarn of inorganic filaments impregnated with a resin, and a brush holder (70) holding ends of the bundles (51). A linear member holder (70) in the linear member aggregate (7) is detachably attached to each of a plurality of holding holes (68) that is open in one side in an axial line direction L. In a case where any of the linear member aggregates has a failure, such as breakage, only the failed linear member aggregate needs to be replaced. Thus, it is not necessary to discard the entire brush-like grinding stone. Consequently, the polishing cost can be reduced.

The communicator has at least two communication ranges including a short communication range and a long communication range longer than the short communication range. The communication controller permits the communicator to perform communication with a terminal present in the short communication range regardless of a priority level of the terminal. The communication controller permits the communicator to perform communication with a terminal present in the long communication range and out of the short communication range when a priority level of the terminal is higher than a predetermined priority level.

Abstract: A brush-like grinding stone (1) includes a linear grinding member (11) obtained by stiffening, with a resin binder, a composite yarn including inorganic filaments. As the linear grinding member (11), a linear grinding member (11A) having a square cross-sectional shape, a linear grinding member (11B) having a rectangular cross-sectional shape, or a linear grinding member (11C) having an elliptical cross-sectional shape is used. While the linear grinding member (11A) is hard to bend in the diagonal directions of the cross section, the linear grinding member (11B) and the linear grinding member (11C) are hard to bend in directions along the long side and the major axis, respectively, of the cross section. Thus, each of the linear grinding members (11A to 11C) has an edge effect and provides high grading performance.

A wireless communication switching processor switches a wireless communication function from OFF state to ON state if the distance between a mobile communication apparatus location acquired by a mobile communication apparatus location acquisition processor and the external apparatus location stored by the external apparatus location storage processor is shorter than a predetermined distance, and switches the wireless communication function from ON state to OFF state if the distance is longer than the predetermined distance.

Abstract: An in-vehicle apparatus selects, as a profile connection mode, one connection mode out of a first connection mode and a second connection mode, and performs profile connection using the selected one connection mode. The first connection mode is to transmit a profile connection request signal to a communication partner so as to start a connection procedure; the second connection mode is to wait for reception of a profile connection request signal from the communication partner for a predetermined time so as to start the connection procedure. When the profile connection using the selected one connection mode fails, a connection procedure using the other connection mode that was not selected previously is started. When the profile connection using the other connection mode is successful, upon occurrence of a next profile connection request, the other connection mode is selected as a profile connection mode.

Abstract: A control circuit of an the in-vehicle apparatus repeatedly performs a Bluetooth connection operation to connect to both of registered cellular phones and registered portable AV players in such a manner that, if an HFP connection has already been established to a cellular phone prior to an AVP connection to a portable AV player, the control circuit performs one round of AVP connection attempts to all of the registered portable AV players according to a priority order, prior to performing connection attempts to connect other data communication type profile to the cellular phone. By using such a profile connection scheme, the AVP connection attempt will not be delayed until after a connection attempt of the other data communication type profile.
