  • Patent number: 6959173
    Abstract: A server downloads data to a mobile station mounted in a vehicle through a roadside device using dedicated short range communication (DSRC). The server is capable of computing downloading transmission rate from the roadside device to the mobile station and maximum speed of the vehicle that enables completion of the downloading of the data to the mobile station. The maximum speed is computed based on the computed downloading transmission rate, a communication area of the roadside device, and size of the data. The server is further capable of notifying the maximum speed to the mobile station. By contrast, the mobile station is capable of transmitting information relating to the data to the server, receiving the data to be downloaded in the communication area of the roadside device, and notifying the maximum speed received from the server to a crew of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 5159313
    Abstract: An oil supply system for an internal combustion engine, having an oil supplementing pump and an oil level sensor arranged in an oil pan for initiating the operation of the oil supplementing pump. A temperature of the oil is detected every time the engine is stopped, and this value is stored. A drop in the temperature of the oil when the engine is started is detected from the stored value of the temperature obtained when the engine was stopped. When a drop of the engine temperature is larger than a predetermined value, an oil supplementing operation is carried out.
