An intersection information distribution apparatus includes a plurality of image capturers, one or more first wireless communicators, a position estimator, and a controller. The plurality of image capturers capture images in and around an intersection. The one or more first wireless communicators perform directional communication with a second wireless communicator mounted on a vehicle. The position estimator estimates a position of the vehicle in and around the intersection from a communication state of the directional communication. The controller selects a piece of data from among pieces of data of the images captured by the plurality of image capturers on the basis of the estimated position of the vehicle. The one or more first wireless communicators transmit the selected piece of data to the second wireless communicator of the vehicle.

Provided is a content delivery system in which a content delivery server delivers content to a content delivery client. The content delivery client transmits content using first wireless communication, detects the area of second wireless communication, and if it determines that sufficient free space is not present in a first storage thereof, transmits a part of data stored in the first storage to the content delivery server using the second wireless communication. The content delivery server makes free space in the first storage by temporarily storing the data in a second storage thereof and then delivers content using the second wireless communication on the basis of the control information.

Content delivery system and method

An electric discharge lamp device has a lighting start voltage storage circuit for storing a lamp voltage immediately after the start of lighting of a lamp, and a change detection circuit for detecting a change in the lamp voltage by subtracting the lamp voltage immediately after the start of lighting of the lamp from the lamp voltage detected currently. The electric power supplied to the lamp is controlled based upon the change in the lamp voltage.

The present invention provides a tractor in which necessity of maintenance of a precleaner can be checked without opening a bonnet every time. In a tractor in which the outside air which is purified through a precleaner is further purified through an air cleaner before the outside air is supplied to an engine, a radiator is arranged in front of the engine, the precleaner is arranged in front of the radiator, and the engine, the radiator and the precleaner are covered with a bonnet, the precleaner is arranged such that the interior of at least a dust collecting/storing portion of the precleaner is viewable from the outside in a see-through manner, and the bonnet includes a viewing portion through which the interior of the dust collecting/storing section is viewable.

Tractor

A tractor of the present invention can reduce a manufacturing cost of a lift arm support body. The tractor is configured such that a lift arm is mounted on an upper portion of a transmission casing by way of a lift arm support body, the lift arm is hydraulically controllable by a hydraulic control valve by way of a hydraulic circuit body, and the hydraulic circuit body and the hydraulic control valve are fixed to the transmission casing as bodies separate from a lift arm support body.

The present invention aims at making a transmission casing compact. In the present invention, in the inside of a transmission casing, a traveling-system power transmission mechanism which is interposed between an engine and an axel, a PTO-system power transmission mechanism which is interposed between the engine and a PTO shaft, and a changeover mechanism which is interposed between both power transmission mechanisms are provided, wherein the power transmission of the PTO-system power transmission mechanism is interrupted at a middle portion thereof by the changeover mechanism and, at the same time, the changeover mechanism is allowed to perform a changeover manipulation to connect a downstream side portion of the PTO-system power transmission mechanism and a downstream side portion of the traveling-system power transmission mechanism. In this manner, it is possible to transmit the rotational speed proportional to the rotational speed of the engine to the PTO-shaft (first PTO-system power transmission) with the use of the PTO-system power transmission mechanism, while with the use of the changeover mechanism, it is possible to perform the changeover manipulation which interrupts the power transmission of the PTO-system power transmission mechanism in the middle portion thereof and, at the same time, connects the downstream-side portion of the PTO-system power transmission mechanism and the downstream-side portion of the traveling-system power transmission mechanism so as to transmit the rotational speed proportional to a vehicle speed to the PTO shaft (second PTO-system power transmission).

In a gas concentration measuring apparatus, a measurement substrate is provided. A conductive pattern portion is formed in the measurement substrate. The conductive pattern portion includes a signal input pattern constituting the signal processing circuit and electrically connected to the connection terminal, said signal input pattern having direct current impedance with respect to the connection terminal, said direct current impedance being 10 percent or less of the input impedance of the connection terminal; a different potential pattern having a potential difference of 2 V or over from a potential of the signal input pattern; and a guard pattern having a substantially constant potential and a potential difference of less than 0.5 V from the potential of the signal input pattern, said guard pattern being arranged on at least a portion of the measurement substrate, said at least portion of the measurement substrate being located between the signal input pattern and the different potential pattern.

The present invention aims at a tractor which can easily perform an assembling operation and a maintenance operation of a PTO transmission mechanism. According to the present invention, a PTO casing which incorporates a PTO transmission mechanism therein is detachably mounted on a rear portion of a transmission casing and, at the same time, the PTO casing is mounted in a state that a front portion thereof is housed in the inside of the transmission casing. By mounting the PTO casing which incorporates the PTO transmission mechanism therein on the rear portion of the transmission casing in this manner, it is possible to easily perform the assembling operation and the maintenance operation of the PTO transmission mechanism. Further, by mounting the PTO casing in a state that the front portion thereof is housed in the inside of the transmission casing, it is possible to miniaturize the transmission casing (make the transmission casing compact).

The discharge lamp lighting apparatus includes a high-voltage generating coil connected in series to a discharge lamp for applying a high voltage to the discharge lamp to turn on the lamp, an inverter for inverting a dc voltage into an ac voltage in order to supply a lamp current to the discharge lamp on an alternating basis through the high voltage generating coil, a lamp voltage detecting circuit for detecting a voltage across the discharge lamp as a lamp voltage, and a lamp power control circuit for controlling an ac power supplied to the discharge lamp from the inverter on the basis of the lamp voltage detected by the lamp voltage detecting circuit. The lamp voltage detecting circuit detects the lamp voltage by subtracting a voltage in proportion to a sum of voltage drops across devices lying on a current path over which the lamp current flows other than the discharge lamp from a voltage in proportion to the dc voltage.

In a discharge lamp control circuit for a discharge lamp mounted on a vehicle, a capacitor in a starting circuit is charged by a high voltage generated by a transformer used in a direct current power source circuit. A transformer necessary for the starting circuit and the transformer necessary for the direct current power source circuit can commonly be used for cost reduction. Further, a thyristor is used in the starting circuit in place of a gap for activating the discharge lamp.
