A driving support ECU detects a shallow pressing operation monitoring signal of the turn signal lever is turned off (S14: Yes). When a timer value Tx representing an ON duration time period in which the shallow pressing operation monitoring signal is continued to be turned on reaches an assist request confirmation time period Tref (S19: Yes) and an LCA start condition is established (S20: Yes) after the detection of the shallow pressing operation monitoring signal, the driving support ECU starts LCA. The driving support ECU does not determines, until the LCA is completed, whether or not the shallow pressing operation monitoring signal is turned off. The driving support ECU restarts processes from S11 after the LCA is completed. Therefore, even if the shallow pressing operation is continued to be performed, the LCA is not executed further.

An electric vehicle with fuel cells mounted thereon has a fuel tank that stores a fuel therein, and a connector receptor that is connected to the fuel tank and is open to the surface of the vehicle body. A connector of a predetermined hydrogen supply device is fitted in and attached to the connector receptor, so that a supply of fuel is fed from the hydrogen supply device to the electric vehicle. The connector receptor is provided with a fuel lid for covering over the connector receptor. When it is determined that the fuel cells are in a working state, the fuel lid is not opened in response to input of an opening instruction of the fuel lid in the course of fuel supply. When it is determined that the fuel lid is open, on the other hand, operation of the fuel cells is not started in response to input of a starting instruction of the fuel cells in the electric vehicle. Such an arrangement enhances the safety of fuel supply to any system with fuel cells.

An electronic device with accelerated boot process and a method for the same are proposed. When the host of the electronic device is in the off mode or standby mode, users can input a normal boot signal or a fast boot signal to activate the host. The boot signal is encoded by an encoder for producing a corresponding code. The host determines whether the input signal is the normal boot signal or the fast boot signal according to the received code. If the received code is the normal boot signal, the host performs a normal boot process. If the received code is the fast boot signal, an instant launcher directly launches application programs specified in the fast boot signal and blocks the start of unnecessary application programs. The boot process of the electronic device can be effectively accelerated, and users can define several boot modes themselves to meet different requirements.

A control device for hybrid vehicle is provided with property alter means 88 that is operative based on whether or not an EV running mode is set and alters a given property used for determining demanded output torque T_OUTt of a transmission mechanism 10 by referring to an accelerator opening Acc. This suppresses occurrence of engine startup to meet a requirement for the EV running mode to be initiated. The property alter means 88 alters the given property such that during an EV running mode turn-on state, demanded output torque T_OUTt determined based on the accelerator opening Acc has a lower value than that set for an EV running mode turn-off state. That is, this causes a drop in sensitivity of demanded output torque T_OUTt determined based on the accelerator opening Acc. Thus, the occurrence of engine startup induced upon depressive operation of an accelerator pedal during the EV running mode is suppressed.

A load determining section of a drive control apparatus for forklift determines a load state related to a loading attachment. In a case where a connection determining section determines switching to a connection state, if the load state determined by the load determining section requires that driving of a vehicle body be limited, a disconnection control section forcibly disconnects a transmission of a driving force to a drive wheel. Thus, the forklift is prevented from being started in a state that is likely to make the driving of the forklift unstable.
