Abstract: Provided is an information provision apparatus for a vehicle, the apparatus capable of providing information that fits the situation of the vehicle to a user. An information provision apparatus for a vehicle is provided with a vehicle-mounted device which comprises a report means for reporting various kinds of information including vehicle information to a user, and a control means for operating the report means, and is connected to an external device via a connection means. Upon receiving a manipulation input signal indicating that a start switch of the vehicle is turned on, the control means operates the report means in order to report to the user that a communication connection between the vehicle-mounted device and the external device is not established, until the communication connection is established.

Abstract: In a scroll fluid machine, an orbiting scroll is revolved with respect to a fixed scroll in a housing. A self-rotation-preventing device is provided to prevent the orbiting scroll from rotating on its own axis. The device comprises a pair of holders, one of which is disposed in an orbiting side and the other is disposed in the housing. The holder in the orbiting side comprises a bearing, a holding plate for holding the bearing and a plurality of ears. At least one of the ears is disposed within a circle passing through the centers of the holders around the center of the orbiting scroll.
