Abstract: In performing double drive startup for starting up an engine while cranking the engine by both a first motor and a second motor, the cranking of the engine by one of the first motor and the second motor is finished earlier than the cranking of the engine by the other of the first motor and the second motor.

Abstract: There is provided a vehicle comprising a power storage device; a connecting portion configured to be connectable with an external power source; a converter configured to be connected with the connecting portion and with the power storage device; and a control device configured to control the converter. When the external power source is connected with the connecting portion, the control device performs charging control to control the converter, such that electric power from the external power source is subjected to voltage conversion and is then supplied to the power storage device. On completion of charging of the power storage device, the control device starts a system by using electric power from the power storage device after disconnection of the converter from the external power source.

Abstract: A control device is installed in a vehicle including an electrical storage device to which is connected a plurality of electrical paths. The vehicle includes an external signal recognition device that recognizes a predetermined image or signal based on an image outside of the vehicle or a signal from outside of the vehicle, an external environment recognition device that recognizes a predetermined environment based on a surrounding environment of the vehicle when the predetermined image or signal is recognized by the external signal recognition device, regardless of whether a system of the vehicle is started, and a relay connected to at least one object electrical path. The control device includes a processor that turns the relay off when a count of times of the external environment recognition device continuously recognizing the predetermined environment for no shorter than a predetermined time is no less than a predetermined count of times.

Abstract: A network environment capable of performing a smooth and comfortable TCP session operation is provided to a user. The session relay equipment includes a bridge portion which relays a session by which a sequence of packets are transmitted and received between terminals connected with each other via a network; a socket information table which has socket information containing (1) address information of the terminal and (2) protocol information used in the session, the socket information being associated with information on whether or not the session is to be terminated; and a service information table which has information on a communication service to be provided for each service provision unit, the communication service being identified based on predetermined information within a header of the packet. The bridge portion terminates the session and executes a communication service based on the information contained in the header of the packet and the socket information.

Abstract: Binary information previously recorded in an innermost rim side area is enabled to be stably reproduced. A record medium is formed by sequentially laminating a first information layer 2, an intermediate layer 3, a second information layer 4, and a cover layer 5 onto a substrate 1. First grooves are previously formed in the innermost rim area of the substrate 1. Second grooves are previously formed in an area where data is recorded. The first grooves are set to be shallower and narrower than the second grooves. Thus, such a situation that a BCA signal is modulated by diffraction due to the grooves can be reduced.
