Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of enabling another person to easily acquire the current status of a person who has difficulty transmitting information indicating the current status of said person's body to the other person. A detection unit 12 detects a physical amount based on pressure from at least a portion of a person's leg. A management unit 11 transmits prescribed information from a transmission unit 112 when the physical amount detected by the detection unit 12 satisfies a prescribed standard. The transmission unit 112 can also transmit, as prescribed information, information that is used to specify a position at which a transmission device 1 is present. Through this, the abovementioned problem is solved.

Abstract: In cases where a control device determines that a load is continuously less than a predetermined value for a predetermined period, the control device executes a first control to maintain the engine speed at a first rotation speed or higher, and when the control device determines that the load reached the predetermined value within the predetermined time, the control device executes a second control to maintain the engine speed at a second rotation speed or higher, which is higher than the first rotation speed. This provides a control device for an engine and an engine, which can restrain activation of an oil pressure switch attributed to an oil temperature.
