Abstract: A communication load determining apparatus is used for a communication system which includes a plurality of communication devices performing communication via a common bus. The communication system operates in accordance with a communication protocol that defines which a priority order is set to each of the frames transmitted from the communication devices and which a frame having a lower priority has a longer transmission latency before being transmitted to the bus. In the communication load determining apparatus, a low-priority frame having a lower priority than other frames to the bus is transmitted, and a transmission latency of the low-priority frame is measured. The communication load determining apparatus determines whether or not abnormality has occurred in a communication load in the bus on the basis of the measured transmission latency to produce a determination result. The produced determination result is stored.

Abstract: A relay apparatus provided to a vehicle, performing first data communication with a first communication apparatus arranged outside the vehicle, and performing at least second data communication with multiple second communication apparatuses provided to the vehicle is provided. The relay apparatus includes a permission determination portion and an initiation switch portion. The permission determination portion determines whether first data communication between the first communication apparatus and a target second communication apparatus is permitted. The permission determination portion receives the first communication frame from the first communication apparatus through a connection switch portion determining a connection destination according to a control signal. The initiation switch portion outputs to the connection switch portion, the control signal designating the target second communication apparatus as the connection destination of the first communication apparatus.

Abstract: A vehicle seat includes: a seat cushion; an operating member; a shield having an opening through which the operating member is passed; and a cover member provided in the opening so as to cover part of the opening while permitting the rotation operation of the operating member. The operating member has a protrusion projecting toward the shield, in a part opposed to the shield. Either one of the cover member and the shield is formed as a projecting portion projecting toward the protrusion. The operating member is configured such that the protrusion slides on the projecting portion while abutting with the projecting portion when the rotation operation is performed on the operating member.
