A control device for controlling a host vehicle including: a processing circuitry configured to, when another vehicle traveling in a opposite direction to the host vehicle and having a possibility to collide with the host vehicle is detected in front of the host vehicle, execute an out-of-vehicle notification using a headlight based on a distance between the host vehicle and the another vehicle. When the distance is equal to or smaller than a first threshold and equal to or larger than a second threshold that is smaller than the first threshold, the processing circuitry executes the out-of-vehicle notification, and when the distance is smaller than the second threshold, the processing circuitry does not execute the out-of-vehicle notification or executes the out-of-vehicle notification with a notification intensity lower than that when the distance is equal to or smaller than the first threshold and equal to or larger than the second threshold.

Control device

Provided is a moisturizer having hygroscopicity and water retention ability, and also provided is a composition superior in antiseptic property and feeling on application, in addition to moisturizing property, and free of coloration and odorization. A moisturizer containing acylproline represented by the formula (1) wherein an acyl group represented by R&#x2014;CO&#x2014; is an acyl group derived from a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid having 3-23 carbon atoms, or a salt thereof, and a composition containing (A) acylproline represented by the above formula (1) or a salt thereof and (B) bisphosphonate.

Moisturizer and cosmetic agent containing same

A voltage detector detects a start of power supply from a battery. When the voltage detector detects the start of power supply, a counter starts counting the clocks of an RTC. A first comparator compares a count value stored in a first non-volatile memory and the count value of the counter and outputs a CPU reset release signal when these count values match with each other. A second comparator compares a count value N stored in a second non-volatile memory and the count value of the counter and, when these count values coincide with each other, performs power-on operation of a regulator which outputs I/O power for the CPU. Accordingly, timing of CPU reset release and timing of regulator power-on can be readily modified without aluminum modification.

Power control apparatus, electronic apparatus, and portable communications terminal

A data reception terminal apparatus and a data receiving method suitable for a music delivering system using a portable telephone terminal apparatus. When data is downloaded with a portable telephone terminal apparatus, received data is divided as blocks. Each block is received with a data reception channel. Whenever each block is received, a received call is detected with a received call detecting channel. Thus, while data is being downloaded, a received call can be detected. When the downloading operation of data is suspended, information that represents the next data position of data that has been downloaded is stored. When the downloading operation is resumed, the data is downloaded from the next data position of the data that has been downloaded and stored. Thus, the data downloading operation is resumed from the next data position of the data that has been downloaded. Consequently, the download time becomes short.
