Abstract: An electric power is surely supplied to a load even if an abnormality is generated in a switching control circuit, which controls a switching part that switches electric connection between a power supply and the load of a vehicle. The switching control circuit controls a state of a contact of a keep relay that switches the electric connection between the power supply and the load. A monitor circuit monitors existence or non-existence of the abnormality of the switching control circuit. When detecting the abnormality of the switching control circuit, the monitor circuit transmits a reset signal in order to reset a state of the switching control circuit. When receiving the reset signal from the monitor circuit, an abnormal-time connection circuit transmits a connection signal to a coil of the keep relay to bring a movable contact into contact with a contact. For example, the present invention can be applied to a power-supply control device for the vehicle.

Abstract: An in-vehicle instrument control device, that controls a power source of a plurality of in-vehicle instruments operated by power from the power source provided in a vehicle, includes a plurality of operation units to operate the respective in-vehicle instruments; and a plurality of power source control units that are each provided between the operation unit and the power source, and the in-vehicle instrument, and each supply the power from the power source to the in-vehicle instrument when a predetermined operation signal is inputted from the operation unit.

Abstract: Power consumption of a relay that switches electric connection between a power supply and a load of a vehicle is suppressed. When receiving a disconnection instruction signal from a control circuit, a disconnection circuit transmits a disconnection signal to a coil of a keep relay, and brings a movable contact into contact with a contact to electrically disconnect the power supply from the load. When receiving a connection instruction signal from the control circuit, a connection circuit transmits a connection signal to a coil of the keep relay, and brings the movable contact into contact with a contact to electrically connect the power supply to the load. An automatic stopping circuit stops the connection signal output from the connection circuit using a voltage or a current supplied from the keep relay to the load. For example, the present invention can be applied to a power-supply control device for the vehicle.

Abstract: A power source control device provided in a vehicle including a plurality of power supply devices that supply power from a power source to respective corresponding loads includes a total current detecting unit that detects a total current value, which is a summation of load current values, based on the load current values that are supplied from the power supply devices to the loads and are detected in the respective power supply devices; and a power supply control unit that selects the load to which the supply of the power is to be stopped, based on a predetermined priority so that the total current value becomes equal to or lower than a predetermined total current threshold when the total current value exceeds the total current threshold, and notifies the power supply device corresponding to the selected load of the stop of the power supply.

Abstract: Power to a load may be continued even if abnormality occurs in a load current value supplied to the relevant load of a vehicle. Load control units supply power from a battery to corresponding loads, respectively, and detect load current values. A power source management unit detects a total current value, based on the load current values detected by the load control units. Where the load control unit in which the load current value exceeds a load current threshold is present, when the total current value exceeds a total current threshold, the power source management unit causes the supply of the power from the relevant load control unit to the load to be stopped. When the total current value is equal to or lower than the total current threshold, the power source management unit continues the supply of the power from the relevant load control unit to the load.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus, a toner image formed on an intermediate transfer belt is transferred to a transfer sheet by a transfer electric field generated between a secondary transfer roller and a driving roller. A guide surface of a pre-transfer guide and a flat portion of the intermediate transfer belt form an angle of no less than 13° and no greater than 17°, and a distance from a tip of the guide surface and the flat portion is no less than 1.0 mm and no greater than 3.0 mm.

Abstract: An antenna failure detecting device that can avoid erroneous detection and use a reference voltage of relatively low precision is includes a switch that can short-circuit both the ends of a resistor inserted in a common line. Only when the voltage between both the ends of the resistor is detected, the switch is “disconnected” (off), and when the voltage between both the ends of the resistor is not detected, the switch is “connected” (on). Therefore, the effect of the resistor can be excluded, and the unnecessary loss of the common line at the non-detection time can be eliminated. Furthermore, the resistor is used only at the failure detection time, and thus the resistance value of the resistor can be freely increased. Therefore, a large voltage between both the ends can be taken out, and the permissible range of the reference voltage for failure judgment can be broadened, so that a reference voltage of low precision can be used.
