Abstract:
Fuel supply station information distributing system includes at least one vehicle, an information distributing server and at least one station, which are interconnected through communication line networks. The information distributing server transmits at every given time a request-to-send for vehicle information to the vehicles as well as a request-to-send for station information to the stations. The information distributing server then creates a fuel supply station information associating for each vehicle based on the vehicle information received from the vehicle and the station information received from the stations, and distributes it to the vehicle. When the vehicle receives the fuel supply station information from the information distributing server, it is displayed on the car navigation screen for notifying the driver.
Abstract:
The present invention improves reliability of an in-vehicle electronic device against corrosive gases. A trapping agent that has trap performances (adsorptive performance, suction performance, absorption performance, chemical reactivity, etc.) that are higher than that of water vapor with respect to corrosive gases other than water vapor is held within a connector having a terminal that is insert-molded in a case housing an electronic circuit. Here, the trapping agent may be held in a counterpart connector of the connector integrally formed in the case.

Abstract:
A transflective or reflective liquid crystal device includes an element substrate, an opposite substrate, and a liquid crystal layer. A translucent pixel electrode that is electrically connected to a pixel switching element in each of a plurality of pixels and a translucent common electrode that forms a fringe electric field between the pixel electrode and the common electrode are formed so as to overlap each other via a first dielectric layer in plan view in the element substrate. The opposite substrate is arranged so as to face the element substrate. The liquid crystal layer is held between the opposite substrate and the element substrate. A light reflection layer is formed on the element substrate so as to overlap the pixel electrode(s) and the common electrode in plan view in a lower layer below the pixel electrode(s) and the common electrode. The light reflection layer is formed so as to overlap one electrode, which is located on a lower layer side, between the pixel electrode(s) and the common electrode via a second dielectric layer in plan view, and is applied with the same electric potential as that of the other electrode located on an upper layer side. In each of the plurality of pixels, a holding capacitor is formed of a capacitance component formed between the pixel electrode and the common electrode and a capacitance component formed between the one electrode and the light reflection layer.
