Abstract: There have been cases where transistors formed using oxide semiconductors are inferior in reliability to transistors formed using amorphous silicon. Thus, in the present invention, a semiconductor device including a highly reliable transistor formed using an oxide semiconductor is manufactured. An oxide semiconductor film is deposited by a sputtering method, using a sputtering target including an oxide semiconductor having crystallinity, and in which the direction of the c-axis of a crystal is parallel to a normal vector of the top surface of the oxide semiconductor. The target is formed by mixing raw materials so that its composition ratio can obtain a crystal structure.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an installation structure and a vehicle having the installation structure. The installation structure is disposed in a vehicle and configured to install a controller, including: a floor panel, constituting a lower portion of a vehicle body of the vehicle; a floor channel, disposed in the floor panel, located at a center in a width direction of the vehicle, extending along a front-to-back direction of the vehicle, and protruding on an upside of the vehicle; a pair of brackets, connected to a corner formed by a side surface and an upper surface of the floor channel; an insulator, configured to cover the floor panel and the brackets; a carpet, disposed on the insulator; and a bracket protrusion, separated from the upper surface of the floor channel and fixing the controller on the bracket protrusion.

Abstract: An upstream integrated value is an integrated value of a difference obtained by subtracting an upstream gas temperature at a starting point in time of integration from the upstream gas temperature after starting of the internal combustion engine. A downstream integrated value is an integrated value of a difference obtained by subtracting a downstream gas temperature at the starting point in time of the integration from the downstream gas temperature after the starting of the internal combustion engine. An anomaly diagnosing process obtains an anomaly determination result indicating that the exhaust purification device is in a removed state when a deviation between the upstream integrated value and the downstream integrated value is smaller than a reference level. The determination threshold is higher than a dew point.

Abstract: A program and a control device capable of calibrating a detection value of a sensor that detects contact with a steering wheel are provided. The program in accordance with the present invention is characterized by causing a computer to execute processing of distinguishing whether or not a user is on a driver's seat of a vehicle; acquiring, from a sensor (21) that converts contact with a steering wheel (2) into an electric signal for detection, a detection value of the detected electric signal; determining whether or not a difference between the detection value acquired when it has been distinguished that the user is not on the driver's seat, and a reference value is equal to or larger than a threshold value; and setting the detection value as the reference value when it has been determined that the difference is not equal to or larger than the threshold value.

Abstract: An occupant information sensing device 100 includes a plurality of heater electrodes that are provided at a vehicle steering wheel 104 and insulated and separated from one another and that generate heat by conduction. Power sources provide electrical current for heater electrodes. Electrical circuit elements enable the system to provide occupant biological condition monitoring, gripping detection, and electrical stimulation. The circuits enable common electrical connecting to the heater electrodes to provide multiple functions through the use of filtering and time division multiplexing.

Abstract: With the steering wheel, steering system, method of controlling steering, and non-temporary computer readable storage media, a grasp detection function can be applied to a steering wheel with a heating function, where one function can contribute to the improvement of the other function. The steering wheel (1) includes a core part (10) to which ground potential is supplied, a first conductor (12) provided on the exterior of the core part (10) and insulated from the core part (10), and a second conductor (14) provided on the exterior of the first conductor (12) and insulated from the first conductor (12) to sense gripping of the steering wheel (1).

Abstract: An oil level gauge device in which an oil level gauge is inserted in a guide pipe communicating with an oil pan, is provided. In the oil level gauge, a cap having a plug configured to fit on an inner peripheral surface at one end portion of the guide pipe, and a flange integrally formed with the plug and abutted with the one end of the guide pipe, is provided. A groove extending from a deeply inserted side of the plug to an abutment surface of the end abutting the flange is formed in the inner peripheral surface. When the plug is fitted on the inner peripheral surface, a ventilation passage for communicating the inside and outside of the oil pan through the guide pipe is formed between the plug and the guide pipe by the groove.

Abstract: In a method for automatically controlling a call-waiting-interruption restriction for a communication system, a subscriber is supplied with a call-waiting service permitting an interruption processing when an interruption call occurs. The subscriber is also supplied with a call-waiting-interruption restriction service for restricting the interruption processing even when the interruption call occurs. The interruption processing to the second subscriber is automatically restricted, when a first subscriber supplied with the call-waiting-interruption restriction service is in communication with a second subscriber supplied with the call-waiting service.
