27 May 1987TL;DR: In this paper, a transmission medium connects the control units via a serial data link, and each of the serial interfaces includes a connection terminal connected to the transmission medium, an input terminal and an output terminal both connected to an associated control unit.
Abstract: Sensors detect parameters. Control units control vehicle equipments in accordance with the detected parameters. In each of the control units, at least one of the detected parameters and internally produced data is converted into serial data as communication data, and serial data is converted into other form data. A transmission medium connects the control units via a serial data link. Serial interfaces are associated with the control units respectively. Each of the serial interfaces includes a connection terminal connected to the transmission medium, an input terminal and an output terminal both connected to the associated control unit. Each of the serial interfaces inputs serial data from the associated control unit via its input terminal and outputs the inputted data to the transmission medium via its connection terminal. Each of the serial interfaces inputs serial data from the transmission medium via its connection terminal and outputs the inputted data to the associated control unit via its output terminal.

26 Jun 2008TL;DR: In this article, an ECU executes a program including a step of detecting a present location using a GPS system, read out data of a geographical map proximate to the present location and presenting in the geographical map charging installations including a charging installation employing solar light, together with the location of its vehicle.
Abstract: An ECU executes a program including a step of detecting a present location using a GPS system; a step of reading out data of a geographical map proximate to the present location and presenting in the geographical map charging installations including a charging installation employing solar light, together with the location of its vehicle; a step of, if a presentation switching request is made and a real-time solar radiation correction request is made, detecting a solar radiation amount and correcting a charge amount per unit time provided by the power generation installation employing solar light, based on the detected solar radiation amount; and a step of detecting an SOC in the battery to calculate an amount of discharge done until arrival at the charging installation, calculating time required for charging up to a fully charged state, and presenting the time required for charging in the geographical map.

15 Sep 2008TL;DR: This work proposes a method for car-to-car epidemic distribution of certificate revocation lists which is quick and efficient and significantly outperforms methods that only employ road side unit distribution points.
Abstract: In a VANET, a certificate authority issues keys andcertificates to vehicles. Each vehicle distributes these certificates to other VANET participants and subsequently signs messages against these certificates. If the certificate authority needs to revoke a certificate (e.g. due to a breach of trust), it universally distributes a certificate revocation list. We propose a method for car-to-car epidemic distribution of certificate revocation lists which is quick and efficient. Large-scale simulations based on realistic mobility traces show that this epidemic model significantly outperforms methods that only employ road side unit distribution points.

TL;DR: In this article, a radiative thermal rectifier with a thin film of vanadium dioxide (VO2) deposited on the silicon wafer is presented, and a rectification contrast ratio as large as two is accurately obtained by utilizing a one-dimensional steady-state heat flux measurement system.
Abstract: Vanadium dioxide (VO2) exhibits a phase-change behavior from the insulating state to the metallic state around 340 K. By using this effect, we experimentally demonstrate a radiative thermal rectifier in the far-field regime with a thin film VO2 deposited on the silicon wafer. A rectification contrast ratio as large as two is accurately obtained by utilizing a one-dimensional steady-state heat flux measurement system. We develop a theoretical model of the thermal rectifier with optical responses of the materials retrieved from the measured mid-infrared reflection spectra, which is cross-checked with experimentally measured heat flux. Furthermore, we tune the operating temperatures by doping the VO2 film with tungsten (W). These results open up prospects in the fields of thermal management and thermal information processing.
