A combined welding method with a filler wire using both a YAG laser and an electric arc, and a combined welding device with a filler wire using both a YAG laser and an electric arc. The welding is performed by directing a laser focus of a YAG laser on base materials and for welding in the vicinity of the focus by a filler wire, connecting a power source for applying a voltage to the filler wire between the filler wire and the base materials for welding, irradiating a YAG laser on the base materials for welding in the connecting condition, whereby an arc is induced to the filler wire by a plume (plasma-activated gas and the metal vapor), and holding the plume generated by YAG laser inside and outside of a keyhole.

In cases where a radio communication is performed between a ground radio base station and a subscriber station, when a delay time J passes after the transmission of a radio wave from the ground radio base station to a stratospheric platform base station, another radio wave relating to the same information as that indicated by the radio wave is transmitted from the ground radio base station to the subscriber station. Therefore, in the subscriber station, a phase of the radio wave directly transmitted from the ground radio base station is synchronized with a phase of the radio wave transmitted from the ground radio base station through the stratospheric platform base station. Accordingly, the subscriber station can change over from one radio wave, of which the strength is weakened, to another radio wave.

The present invention provides a humidification system for a fuel cell, in which a plurality of membrane humidifiers employing hollow fiber membranes of different kinds having different diameters and pore sizes, or having different numbers of hollow fiber membranes is selectively used according to the amount of current generated from a fuel cell stack or a vehicle output, thus adjusting the humidification amount for dry air to be supplied to a fuel cell stack, and preventing the flooding phenomenon caused at a cathode and the starvation phenomenon in which the air supply is insufficient at the cathode.

The present invention provides a magnetic induction pad. The magnetic induction pad includes a deformation body and a plurality of magnetic induction modules. The interior of the deformation body includes a filling space that is in connection with the outside via at least one gas nozzle. The external of the deformation body includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface and the second surface include a plurality of first bag bodies and a plurality of second bag bodies, respectively. The plurality of first bag bodies are mutually arranged to form a first pattern. The plurality of second bag bodies are mutually arranged to form a second pattern that are the same as the first patterns, so as to enable the position of each of the plurality of first bag bodies on the first surface to have a corresponding arrangement to each of the plurality of second bag bodies of the second surface. The plurality of magnetic induction modules includes a group of magnetic members and a group of induction members. The group of magnetic members and the group of induction members are respectively arranged at the corresponding positions within the plurality of first bag bodies and the plurality of second bag bodies. According to the magnetic theory, it enables the determination of whether a human body lies down on a bed, on the basis of the degree of compression of the magnetic induction pad between the plurality of magnetic induction modules.

The goal of the present invention is, while waiting for the reserved printing, even in a case where new printing is executed, to compare the remaining amount of consumable material to the amount of consumable material necessary for the designated reserved printing, and to notify the terminal apparatus, which sent the printing data to execute new printing, about the condition of the consumable material. The present invention detects a lack of consumable material by comparing the remaining amount of consumable material to the amount of consumable material necessary for the reserved printing. Therefore, a user using the terminal apparatus can be informed about the information concerning the consumable material by having the terminal apparatus, which newly sent the printing data, notified of the information concerning the detected consumable material.

The goal of the present invention is, while waiting for reserved printing that is to be executed at a future time, even in a case where new printing is executed before then, to compare the remaining amount of consumable material to the amount of consumable material necessary for the designated reserved printing. The terminal apparatus that sent the printing data to execute new printing is notified about the condition of the consumable material. The present invention detects a lack of consumable material by comparing the remaining amount of consumable material to the amount of consumable material necessary for the reserved printing. Therefore, a user using the terminal apparatus can be informed about the information concerning the consumable material by having the terminal apparatus, which newly sent the printing data, notified of the information concerning the detected consumable material.

The fail-safe gear step switching valve (120) can be switched to the first position to establish the low-speed side fail-safe gear step (third speed-change gear step) or the second position to establish the high-speed side fail-safe gear step (fifth speed-change gear step). Upon the failure state of the solenoid valve device (SLC1, SLC2), the fail-safe gear step switching valve is held at the second position by the line hydraulic pressure (PL1). Two kinds of the fail-safe gear steps i.e., the third speed-change gear step and the fifth speed-change gear step can be established depending on the vehicle state just before the failure occurrence of the fail-safe gear step switching valve. Even if the D→N operation of the shift lever (72) is performed during the vehicle running in the fifth speed-change gear step, the fail-safe gear step switching valve remains at the second position to establish the fifth speed-change gear step even upon the shifting operation of the shift lever to the “D” position again.

In the car navigation system including a vehicle communication apparatus mounted on a vehicle, different diffusion codes are assigned to each road such as a single lane road and a road with double lanes. In data transmission to other vehicles, each vehicle switches to and uses the diffusion codes assigned to the road on which own vehicle currently travels. Even if many on-coming vehicles travel in line, radio wave interference between the vehicles does not occurs and the lacking of communication channels also does not occurs because each vehicle uses the diffusion codes assigned to the road on which own vehicle travels.
