Abstract: A vehicle door device includes first and second link arms each including a first pivotal connection point to a vehicle body and a second pivotal connection point to a door of a vehicle, and a drive unit that opens and closes the door based on an operation of a link mechanism formed by the first and second link arms by using at least one of the first and second link arms as a drive link and pivoting the drive link. The drive unit includes an actuator that outputs drive torque, and a transmission mechanism that transmits the drive torque to the drive link disposed at a position separated from the actuator. The transmission mechanism includes a torque input portion that inputs the drive torque to the drive link, and a power transmission member that forms a transmission path for the drive torque in a state of extending between the actuator and the torque input portion and has flexibility to enable transmission of the drive torque in a bent state.

Abstract: First and second semiconductor devices and first and second bypass circuits are mounted on a printed wiring board. The first bypass circuit and the second bypass circuit are provided closer to the first semiconductor device and to the second semiconductor device, respectively. The first bypass circuit has one end connected to a power plane through a first power supply via and the other end connected to a ground plane through a first ground via. The second bypass circuit has one end connected to the power plane through a second power supply via and the other end connected to the ground plane through a second ground via. The ground plane has a slit between the connecting portions of the first and second ground vias to increase the impedance between the connecting portions of the first and the second ground vias. Thus, jitters caused by power supply noise can be reduced.

Abstract: On a surface layer of a printed wiring board, main power supply patterns to be applied with different DC voltages are disposed in a second region. Power supply patterns are disposed on the surface layer, and the power supply patterns are led from the main power supply patterns to a first region. The power supply patterns connect power supply terminals of terminal groups in the second region. The power supply patterns connect the power supply terminals between the terminal groups in the first region. Power supply terminals of the terminal groups of a semiconductor package are electrically connected to the main power supply patterns by the power supply patterns. Thus, potential fluctuations are reduced and radiation noise is suppressed, and the number of layers of the printed wiring board is reduced.

Abstract: A portable telephone unit 10 receives management information comprising size information for contents data wanting to be downloaded, and adjusts an environment for receiving the object data, based on size information for contents data contained in the management information. To adjust the environment for receiving the object data it is possible, for example, to determine a communication system for receipt, or to secure a storage region for storing object data that has been received. After that, the portable telephone unit 10 transmits a contents data download request, and receives contents data returned in response to the download request. As a result, it is possible for the communication terminal to download the contents data in a state where the receive environment has been optimized according to the size of the contents.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system using an international roaming-capable mobile communication network in which a server controls the form in which a service is provided in accordance with the country of a service area in which a mobile station is located. The mobile station 1 determines the service area in which the mobile station 1 is located in accordance with a mobile communication mode set by a mobile communication mode setting function. Alternatively, the mobile station 1 determines the service area in which it is located through notification information relating to a mobile communication network system, received from a base station. When the mobile station 1 transmits a request for a service to a content provider server 4, the mobile station 1 simultaneously adds a region header describing the determined service area. A gateway G/W63 may add the region header instead of the mobile station 1.

Abstract: A cellular phone 10 transmits a request for management information including size information of object data which is desired to be downloaded, and determines whether a size of the object data exceeds a predetermined value or not, based on the size information. If the size of the object data does not exceed the predetermined value, the cellular phone 10 stores the object data, received in response to the download request, in a temporary storage area. If the size of the object data does exceed the predetermined value, the cellular phone 10 determines whether a free area for storing the object data in a permanent storage area exists or not. If a free area exists, the object data received in response to the download request is stored in the permanent storage area.

Abstract: When a command for starting up a specific versatile application of a versatile application section is made during an execution of a native application included in a basic processing section, a judgment of the following condition for combining is satisfied: whether or not the specific versatile application is in a paused state, and the specific versatile application has made a request for starting up the native application, is made (step S51). When a judgment that the condition for combining is satisfied is made, an execution of the specific versatile application is restarted (step S56). As a result, it is possible to have a prompt coordination between the basic processing section and the versatile application, while respecting a feeling of presence which is established in the mind of a user.

Abstract: A cellular phone 10 transmits management information including size information of object data desirably downloaded, and determines whether a size of the object data exceeds the second predetermined value or not, based on the size information. If the result is negative, the cellular phone 10 stores the object data, sent back responding to download request, in a temporary storage area. If the result is affirmative, the cellular phone 10 determines whether a free area for storing the object data in a permanent storage area exists or not. If the result is affirmative, the object data sent back responding to the downloading request is stored in the permanent storage area. As a result, the temporary storage area to be used for storing history is not used any more for storing a large amount of content data, and number of histories held in the temporary storage area can be guaranteed.
