Abstract: When the temperature of an engine (ENG) and main battery (B1) is low at the time when a vehicle start system is activated, an ECU (40) starts the engine (ENG) in advance and outputs a travel permission signal after the engine is started. During this process, the ECU (40) stops abnormality diagnosis operation of an accessory load (60), sets a voltage command to a voltage level lower than an output voltage of an accessory battery (B2) and higher than a lower limit of an operation voltage of the ECU (40), and feedback controls a DC/DC converter (30). Upon completion of the start of the engine, the ECU (40) sets the voltage command to a voltage level higher than the output voltage of the accessory battery (B2) and feedback controls the DC/DC converter (30). Then, the EUC (40) releases the stop of the abnormality diagnosis operation of the accessory load (60) and outputs a travel permission signal.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for detecting presence of a material of interest on a surface or in a space using spectroscopic techniques. A beam of ultraviolet light is directed to the surface or space to achieve photodissociation of a material of interest in order to produce photofragment molecules that fluoresce when excited by ultraviolet light. Raman scattering of the parent target material and laser-induced fluorescence of the daughter photofragments are collected from the surface or space that may be induced by the beam of ultraviolet light. Raman spectra and fluorescence spectra are generated from the captured Raman scattering and fluorescence. The fluorescence spectra associated with the daughter photofragment molecules and the Raman spectra of the parent target material are analyzed to determine presence of the material of interest on the surface or in the space.
