Abstract: In a communication system, an in-vehicle relay device relays data between ECUs, which are each connected to a communication line in a vehicle, by communicating with each of the ECUs. Data received by a communication device from a server outside the vehicle is input to an out-of-vehicle relay device. Data to be transmitted by the communication device to the server is output to the communication device by the out-of-vehicle relay device. The out-of-vehicle relay device relays data between the server and the ECUs by passing data to and from the in-vehicle relay device. The out-of-vehicle relay device outputs, to the in-vehicle relay device, data input to the out-of-vehicle relay device, or associated data that is associated with data that was output. The in-vehicle relay device determines whether the relaying performed by the out-of-vehicle relay device is to be suspended, based on associated data output by the out-of-vehicle relay device.

Abstract: A reactor 1 of the present invention includes: a combined product 10 provided with a coil 2 and a magnetic core 3 where the coil 2 is disposed; and a case 4 storing the combined product 10. The case 4 includes: a bottom plate portion 40 fixed to a fixation target when the reactor 1 is installed in the fixation target; a side wall portion 41 attached to the bottom plate portion 40 to surround the combined product 10; and a heat dissipation layer 42 formed on the inner face of the bottom plate portion 40 to be interposed between the bottom plate portion 40 and the coil 2. The bottom plate portion 40 is made of aluminum, and the side wall portion 41 is made of an insulating resin. The heat dissipation layer 42 is made of an adhesive agent whose thermal conductivity is high and which exhibits an excellent insulating characteristic.

Abstract: A cable support for an automobile allows a cable installed in a bent U-turn shape to be readily positioned and supported on a vehicle body or the like in a reliable manner. Two portions of a cable folded in a U-turn shape are inserted into a common insertion hole in a main body tube. The two portions of the cable folded in a U-turn shape are respectively inserted into independent insertion holes separately provided to a branching tube that is integral with the main body tube.

Abstract: A reactor being small in size and exhibiting excellent productivity, a method for manufacturing the same, and a reactor component suitable as the constituent component of the reactor are provided. The reactor includes a combined product including a coil and a magnetic core, and a case storing the combined product. The case includes a bottom plate portion made of aluminum, a side wall portion made of an insulating resin, and a joining layer formed on the inner face of the bottom plate portion for fixing the coil. The bottom plate portion and the side wall portion are independent separate members, which are integrated with each other by bolts and the like. Terminal fittings having a pair of joining pieces, which are disposed at the positions opposing to the end portions of the wire structuring the coil, are fixed to the side wall portion.
