An in-vehicle system enables retrofitted hardware to be used in cases in which predetermined hardware has been connected to an in-vehicle unit by performing processing to obtain an application corresponding to the predetermined hardware from a server and install the application in the in-vehicle unit. In cases in which the retrofitted hardware has been disconnected from the in-vehicle unit, the in-vehicle system also performs at least one type of processing out of processing to compress or processing to delete the application corresponding to the retrofitted hardware that has been disconnected.

A hydrogenated NBR composition comprising 30 to 200 parts by weight of titanium oxide and 1 to 8 parts by weight of magnesium oxide, based on 100 parts by weight of hydrogenated NBR. By forming a crosslinked rubber layer of the rubber composition on a metal plate, a gasket material with excellent blister resistance, whose roll kneadability is improved without reducing the rubber strength of hydrogenated NBR, is provided. Moreover, the rubber composition is effective as a rubber raw material for use in soft metal or a high hardness hydrogenated NBR material for which kneading processing is difficult.

A program update system includes a vehicle including a first and second electronic devices, and a program transmission device. The program transmission device is configured to communicate with the vehicle and transmit a program for the first electronic device and a program for the second electronic device to the vehicle. The program transmission device transmits an update program for a first electronic device to a second electronic device. The program transmission device transmits a program in a state before the update for backup. The second electronic device updates the program for the first electronic device based on the update program. The second electronic device stores the program in the state before the update.

An in-vehicle control device includes a vehicle-side communication unit installed on a vehicle and communicating with at least an information processing device external to the vehicle, and a first processor. The first processor is configured to: receive an installation request for an application program from the information processing device; in a case in which the installation request has been received, notify the information processing device of a rule defining whether or not a communication frame received at the vehicle-side communication unit is unauthorized and of equipment information related to optional equipment of the vehicle; acquire the application program and a rule that has been updated based on the notified rule and the equipment information from the information processing device; and, in a case in which the updated rule has been acquired, update the rule to the updated rule.

An NBR composition for rubber laminated metal having 1 to 3 parts by weight of sulfur and 1 to 15 parts by weight of a disulfide compound such as 4,4'-dithiodimorpholine or dithiodicaprolactam represented by the general formula RN&#x2014;S&#x2014;S&#x2014;NR (wherein RN is a cyclic linking group formed together with the N atom bonded to the S atom), based on 100 parts by weight of NBR. The rubber composition that can improve the protrusion properties of a rubber layer when used for, for example, a gasket or a brake shim material that is a laminated composite metal laminated with another metal plate.

NBR composition for rubber laminated metal

A gasket material, in which a crosslinked rubber layer compounding 30 to 200 parts by weight of titanium oxide based on 100 parts by weight of NBR or hydrogenated NBR is formed on a metal plate, improves blister resistance, and thus exhibits an excellent effect of preventing rubber peeling of the gasket in the engine and leading to an improvement of engine malfunction. Further, the use of NBR or hydrogenated NBR results in an advantage of low cost relative to that of fluororubber. Therefore, the gasket material of the present invention is effectively used as a cylinder head gasket.

A relay device connected to an in-vehicle network includes a first determination unit; a second determination unit; and a relay processing unit. The first determination unit is configured to send out a high priority transfer message through a first path that runs from the first determination unit to the relay processing unit without passing through the second determination unit. The relay processing unit is configured to output the high priority transfer message, acquired through the first path, to the second determination unit and the in-vehicle device. The first determination unit is configured to send out a normal priority transfer message to the relay processing unit through a second path that runs from the first determination unit to the relay processing unit via the second determination unit. The relay processing unit is configured to output the normal priority transfer message, acquired through the second path, to the in-vehicle device.

An onboard communication device can execute communication with an exterior of a vehicle via a communication section. The onboard communication device includes: an acquiring section that acquires at least one of a speed of the vehicle or position information of the vehicle; a judging section that judges whether or not communication by the communication section is possible, based on an acquisition result of the acquiring section; and a control section that effects control such that, in a case in which it is judged that communication by the communication section is not possible, vehicle information is stored together with time information in a storage section, and, in a case in which it is judged that communication is possible, the communication section transmits, to an external device at the exterior of the vehicle, the vehicle information to which is appended the time information that is stored in the storage section.

To improve characteristics of a semiconductor device (semiconductor laser), an active layer waveguide (AWG) comprised of InP is formed over an exposed part of a surface of a substrate having an off angle ranging from 0.5&#xb0; to 1.0&#xb0; in a [1-1-1] direction from a (100) plane to extend in the [0-1-1] direction. A cover layer comprised of p-type InP is formed over the AWG with a V/III ratio of 2000 or more. Thereby, it is possible to obtain excellent multiple quantum wells (MQWs) by reducing a film thickness variation of the AWG. Moreover, the cover layer having side faces where a (0-11) plane almost perpendicular to a substrate surface mainly appears can be formed. A sectional shape of a lamination part of the cover layer and the AWG becomes an approximately rectangular shape. Therefore, an electrification region can be enlarged and it is possible to reduce a resistance of the semiconductor device.
