In a fuel cell system, a first rubber seal is interposed between a top part of a first seal bead portion that is formed to protrude toward a first separator main body, and a membrane electrode assembly member. A method of low temperature starting of the fuel cell system includes: a warm-up step of warming up a fuel cell stack by introducing an oxygen containing gas discharged from a compressor, into a case interior space in a state in which a temperature of the oxygen containing gas is raised by causing the oxygen containing gas to flow through a pressure loss member; and an electrical power generating step of initiating generation of electrical power after completion of the warm-up step.

A fuel cell vehicle includes a fuel cell, an oxygen-containing gas supply apparatus, and an ECU. A pump of the oxygen-containing gas supply apparatus is a shaft floating type air pump having a rotatable element. The rotatable element floats from a wall around the rotatable element, as a result of rotation of the rotatable element. The ECU includes a travel permission determination instruction unit. The travel permission determination instruction unit determines whether or not a predetermined condition indicative of a floating state of the rotatable element is satisfied, and if the predetermined condition is satisfied, permits traveling of the fuel cell vehicle, and if the predetermined condition is not satisfied, restricts traveling of the fuel cell vehicle.

A client for IPv4 having a SIP function sends a first REGISTER message to an adapter. Then, the adapter executes an authentication sequence of EAP-AKA for an access gateway connected between an IMS/MMD network and an IPv4 network, then establishes a tunnel connection. Then, the adapter generates a second REGISTER message corresponding to IPv6 based on the first REGISTER message corresponding to IPv4. The adapter sends the second REGISTER message to a SIP server connected to the IMS/MMD network through the tunnel connection to the access gateway.

There is provided a control system for an electric motor to which electric power is supplied from a DC power supply via a multi-phase inverter, the multi-phase inverter including switch units respectively provided on a positive side and a negative side of arms corresponding to respective phases, each switch unit including a switching element and a reflux diode connected in parallel thereto. The control system comprises a phase current detection unit for detecting phase currents which flow between the inverter and the electric motor, a DC component acquiring unit for acquiring DC components of the respective phase currents, and a short-circuiting determination unit for determining that a short-circuit failure occurs in the inverter when at least one of the DC components of the phase currents acquired by the DC component acquiring unit exceeds a threshold. Consequently, the short-circuit failure of the inverter can be detected even though the control of the electric motor is stopped.

A load balance server has a first database for recording a list of identifiers of the presence servers, a second database for recording a subscription message receiving rate, an entry retrieval means for selecting a presence server that the subscription message receiving rate is lowest, in presence servers included in the list of the entry based on the presence information, a presence server selecting means for selecting an additional presence server whichever subscription message receiving rate is lower than predetermined threshold Ts, when the subscription message receiving rate in the selected presence server is higher than predetermined threshold Ts, and a message sending/receiving control means for sending the public message to the selected presence server.

A drive unit for vehicles prevents the rise of temperature of a high-pressure battery or condenser and assists the vehicle engine using a motor activated by an electric current supplied from the battery. The drive unit includes a battery temperature sensor and battery ammeter sensor, and defines the permissible current value of input-and-output current, which is limit of a current value to be inputted-and-outputted with respect to the battery, based on the difference between the battery temperature and the upper limit. When the battery temperature exceeds the threshold temperature, the permissible current value is set. Moreover, when the exchanged current value of the output-and-input current exceeds the permissible current value, the motor gradually decreases the output command value.
