Abstract: A swash-plate-type variable displacement compressor is provided with a rotationally-driven drive shaft, a lug plate integrally fixed to the drive shaft, a swash plate fixed in a manner capable of being variably inclined to the drive shaft, a link mechanism for coupling the lug plate and the swash plate while permitting the variable inclination; and an actuator which is arranged between the lug plate and the swash plate and which uses pressure to change an inclination angle of the swash plate. The actuator has a cylindrical member which extends from a surface of the lug plate toward the swash plate, a bottomed cylindrical member fitted capable of being relatively displaceable to an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member, and a coil spring which is arranged in an inner space of the actuator, and which biases the bottomed cylindrical member in a direction which is away from the lug plate.

Abstract: An on-vehicle electronic device creates a first signal and a second signal, and designates the number of times of transmitting the second signal. When noise is generated, the first signal includes information indicating a period of time to receive a signal by the portable device longer than that when noise is not generated. When noise is generated, the number of times of transmitting the second signal to a portable device by the on-vehicle electronic device to be designated is larger than that when noise is not generated. For the period of time to receive a signal indicated by the first signal, the portable device receives a signal.
