Abstract: A leakage diagnosis device for an evaporative fuel treatment device includes a first vent valve, a second vent valve, and a pump. The first vent valve is configured to block a first atmospheric passage, which is a main passage of an atmospheric passage and connects a canister with an atmospheric opening. The second vent valve is configured to block a second atmospheric passage, which is a bypass passage of the first atmospheric passage and connects the canister with the atmospheric opening. The pump is provided on a side of the atmospheric opening relative to the second vent valve in the second atmospheric passage, and is configured to pressurize or depressurize the second atmospheric passage. A malfunction diagnosis device performs a malfunction diagnosis based on an output value of a pressure sensor, a current value of the pump, or an output value of an air-fuel ratio sensor.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first memory, a second memory, and a control circuit. The first memory stores a first table where entries, which indicate forwarding methods for packets, are stored at positions corresponding to hash values calculated from header information of the packets. The second memory stores a second table that is larger than the first table. The control circuit detects, when the first table is updated, a conflict state where there is conflict between storage positions of different entries in the first table. The control circuit moves entries stored in the first table to the second table in response to the detecting of the conflict state. The control circuit detects resolution of the conflict state when the second table is updated. In response to the detecting of the resolution, the control circuit moves the entries stored in the second table to the first table.
