Abstract: A method of initializing system components of a wireless-controlled lighting system. The system components include a remote control and a plurality of lighting units which communicate with a control master for the system via commonly-received radio communications. In order to become part of the system, each component transmits a respective request for initialization.

Abstract: An intelligent router routes a user request to a storage server that is capable of handling that request natively, without emulation. The request is routed automatically, without any instruction or interaction on the part of the user. The intelligent router includes a storage tank-like computing environment and a set of intelligent routers. The set of intelligent routers appears as a single entity to users by presenting a single network IP address. When the intelligent router receives a request, it examines the protocol type and routes the request to one of the appropriate storage tank clients. The intelligent router does not change the contents of the request message, and thus the storage tank system do not become aware of the existence of the intelligent router. Consequently, any return messages do not need to go through the intelligent router, unless desired.

Abstract: An induction heating coil having little high-frequency loss and producing little hast is easily manufactured by covering a conductor with a first insulating material to form a wire, then bundling and twisting such wires to form a stranded wire, covering the outer surface of the stranded wire with a second insulating material to form a coil wire, winding the coil wire a certain number of turns into a coil portion having a certain shape. The end portion of the coil portion and a connecting portion are heated with Joule heat while applying pressure to the end portion at the same time, so that the first and second insulating materials are fused and pressure-bonded to the conductor. Thus a terminal portion for the external connection of the coil portion is fixed while keeping the electrical connection with the conductor. Accordingly, an induction heating coil of low cost and stable quality can be easily manufactured. The induction heating coil producing little heat because of its high-frequency loss and suitable for induction heating of a highly-conductive nonmagnetic substance such as aluminum.

Abstract: In order to provide a vehicle door controlling apparatus (1), which even when the vehicle starts to move while doors (2) of the vehicle are in dosed operation, performs insertion detection accurately without reducing the sensitivity of insertion detection. In the present invention, speed adjustment is performed by an applied voltage and a vehicle door is driven by a motor by voltage driving. The speed during the movement of the vehicle door is detected by Hall elements (7), and the door speed during the movement of the vehicle door is obtained from the detected signal. A controller (10) having an insertion detection function controls the door speed to be the predetermined target door speed. The controller detects stoppage or driving of the vehicle, and when the state of the vehicle is in the driving state while the vehicle door is in closing operation, the voltage applied to the motor is increased compared to the stop state.
