A method for manufacturing a differential device includes a first step and a second step. The first step is to cast a differential case by pouring molten cast iron into, via a gate, a mold having, on a mold surface, a mark formation site that has a specific positional relationship to the gate. The second step is to fit the differential case with a ring gear and weld the differential case and the ring gear together entirely around a prescribed axis. In the second step, the differential case and the ring gear are welded together using a mark formed on the differential case by the mark formation site in the first step so that an overlap of welding does not occur in a portion of the differential case formed near the gate of the mold.

A communication apparatus includes a communication unit that transmits a signal at a predetermined interval and a control unit that includes a first state and a second state in which power consumption is lower than in the first state. When the control unit shifts from the first state to the second state, the communication unit changes a transmission interval of the signal from a first interval to a second interval, which is longer than the first interval. In a case where a predetermined time has elapsed after the control unit shifts from the first state to the second state, the communication unit changes the transmission interval of the signal to a third interval, which is longer than the second interval.
