Abstract: An electronic control unit is configured in such a way that the groove-shaped concave portion of the second case member includes a first concave portion, in which a groove width at a bottom surface side is narrow, and a second concave portion, in which a groove width at an aperture surface side is wide, and the first concave portion and the second concave portion are linked by an inclined step portion in such a way that a groove width at the step portion is increased in a direction from the bottom surface side to the aperture surface side, and moreover, a tip of the rail-shaped convex portion of the first case member is fitted into the first concave portion at the bottom surface side of the second case member.

Abstract: A starter driving semiconductor switch apparatus energizes and de-energizes a starter according to a command from an outside. A series circuit to which semiconductor switches are connected in series is provided between a battery serving as a power supply and the starter. The starter is energized by bringing all the semiconductor switches into conduction. A voltage or a current at a predetermined point in the series circuit is monitored to make a self-diagnosis on whether the starter is allowed to start and whether there is a failure in the semiconductor switches according to a monitor output. The starter driving semiconductor switch apparatus is thus expected to have a longer useful life by energizing the starter not by using mechanical contacts but by using semiconductor switches.

Abstract: A method of detecting a position of a radio mobile station in radiocommunications, which is capable of accurately and simply finding the position of the mobile station. At a measuring point the mobile station measures the reception radio strength levels from a plurality of base stations and conveys the measurement results through the base station to a control station. The control station learns, through a neural network, the correlation between the reception radio strength levels and the position of the mobile station on the basis of the measurement results at a plurality of measuring points and the positions of the measuring points. Subsequently, when the mobile station communicates to the control station the reception radio strength levels measured at an arbitrary point, the control station estimates the position of the mobile station, causing those measurement results, on the basis of the correlation obtained through the learning.
