Abstract

In an on-vehicle shutoff control device, a control unit switches a switch unit to an off state in a case where the switch unit is in the on state and a current value changes from less than a threshold value to the threshold value or more. The control unit switches the switch unit to the on state in at least one of a case where the switch unit has remained in the off state and a potential difference across the switch unit has been continuously maintained less than a reference for a predetermined period of time, a case where a speed of increase of potential difference across the switch unit is less than a reference, and a case where the potential difference across the switch unit is less than a reference at a time when a predetermined period of time passes after switching the switch unit to the off state.

Abstract

This transmission board production method is for producing a plurality of transmission boards from a panel having a copper foil on a surface thereof, the plurality of transmission boards each including a transmission path, the transmission board production method including: a resist formation step of forming a photoresist on the copper foil; an exposure step of irradiating the photoresist with light via a photomask; a resist removal step of removing, of the photoresist, either of a part irradiated with the light and a part not irradiated with the light; and an etching step of performing wet etching at a part, of the copper foil, exposed through the resist removal step, using an etching solution. The photomask includes a pattern for forming the transmission path included in each of the plurality of transmission boards, so that the transmission paths are along each other. The photomask is formed so that, of the copper foil, a part around each of a plurality of the transmission paths to be formed through the etching step is removed or remains such that a part where the copper foil remains and a part where the copper foil does not remain are not mixed, through the etching step. In the etching step, the etching solution moves relative to the panel along each transmission path to be formed through the etching step.

Abstract

A retainer has insertion portions and that allow a body portion of a terminal fitting to pass therethrough at a temporary locking position, and a detection portion protruding from a wall surface portion that defines the insertion portions and capable of interfering with a first wall of the terminal fitting in a half-inserted state into a housing from a side opposite to a second wall, and is configured to reduce an amount of protrusion from an outer surface of the housing as it goes from the temporary locking position to a full locking position. The detection portion has a recess shaped to move away from protrusions at the temporary locking position, and is disposed corresponding to a middle portion excluding both end portions in a width direction in the wall surface portion.

Abstract

In a vehicle-mounted system, a first ECU (or “first vehicle-mounted device”) and a second ECU (or “second vehicle-mounted device”) are connected to a communication bus. When the first ECU has received the first or second activation data via the communication bus in a low-power state where power consumption is low, the first ECU transitions to a high power state whose power consumption is larger than the low power state. When the second ECU has received the first data via the communication bus in a low-power state where power consumption is low, the second vehicle-mounted device is maintained in the low power state. When the second ECU has received the second data via the communication bus in the low-power state, the second ECU transitions to a high power state. A management device transmits the first activation data and the second activation data via the communication bus.

Abstract

A wire harness (W) includes a tubular first electric wire (10) configured as a hollow electric wire, and a protection member (40) in which the first electric wire (10) is accommodated. The first electric wire (10) includes a hollow portion (11) in which a second electric wire (20) is capable of being accommodated. With this configuration, even when the second wire (20) is not accommodated in the hollow portion (11), the clearance between the outer circumferential surface of the first electric wire (10) and the inner circumferential surface of the protection member (40) remains the same. Accordingly, rattling of the first electric wire (10) is suppressed. Therefore, with this configuration, it is possible to suppress rattling of electric wires even when a small number of electric wires are accommodated in the protection member (40).

Abstract

An on-vehicle control device (1) includes a control unit (14). The control unit (14) switches a block unit (11) to a blocking state based on a first blocking characteristic (BC1). A relay (10) is turned off based on a second blocking characteristic (BC2). In the second blocking characteristic (BC2), a time decreases with a first degree of decrease as a current value increases. In the first blocking characteristic (BC1), a time decreases with a second degree of decrease in a first current value range (R1) as the current value increases, and a time decreases with a third degree of decrease in a second current value range (R2) as the current value increases. The time is set to be longer in the first blocking characteristic (BC1) than in the second blocking characteristic (BC2) for the current value smaller than a threshold (Ith). The time is set to be shorter in the first blocking characteristic (BC1) than in the second blocking characteristic (BC2) for a current value larger than the threshold (Ith).

Abstract

A relay device relays communication. The relay device includes: a receiving unit that receives communication data from a communication device; a storage unit that stores the communication data received by the receiving unit; and a processing unit that performs processing. A first period and a second period are alternately set. The processing unit changes the total number of the first periods and the second periods included in a next predetermined period each time a predetermined period including the first periods and the second periods passes. The processing unit determines whether or not the communication data is stored in the storage unit. When it is determined that the communication data is stored in the storage unit, the processing unit specifies a period to which a communication determination time at which the determination has been performed belongs, from the first period and the second period.
