Provided is a communication device and a control method, according to which in a configuration in which a plurality of processing units having a master-subordinate relationship therebetween, processing for controlling an abnormality and the like that has occurred in the subordinate processing unit can be performed by the master processing unit. A communication device includes a master processing unit and a subordinate processing unit, and the subordinate processing unit performs processing regarding communication, the master processing unit controls activation of the subordinate processing unit, the subordinate processing unit periodically transmits a signal to the master processing unit, and the master processing unit controls an operation of the subordinate processing unit in accordance with the signal that is periodically transmitted by the subordinate processing unit.

An apparatus and a method for controlling a vehicle door are provided to automatically unlock a door locked in vehicle crash. The apparatus includes a main battery, a sub-battery, a door actuator to lock or unlock the vehicle door, and a door controller to unlock the vehicle door which is locked by supplying electric power to the door actuator through the sub-battery, when the door controller determines that supply of electric power from the main battery is failed in the vehicle crash.

An integrated controller (A) for a vehicle, and a vehicle (B), where the integrated controller (A) includes a box body (10), a high-voltage power distribution module (900) disposed in the box body (10), and a left driving motor controller (300), a right driving motor controller (400), an air compressor motor controller (500), a steering motor controller (600), and a DC-DC voltage converter (700) that are all connected to the high-voltage power distribution module (900); and the box body (10) is provided with a plurality of input/output interfaces corresponding to the high-voltage power distribution module (900), the left driving motor controller (300), the right driving motor controller (400), the air compressor motor controller (500), the steering motor controller (600), and the DC-DC voltage converter (700).

There are provided an electric connection box and a wire harness including: a body including an accommodating portion inside the body, the accommodating portion being configured to accommodate an electronic component. The body includes an electric wire holding portion inside the body, the electric wire holding portion having a slit-shaped groove configured to radially sandwich and hold an electric wire extending from a connector to be connected to the electronic component. The groove of the electric wire holding portion includes: a groove inlet portion; a groove deepest portion; and a narrow portion between the groove inlet portion and the groove deepest portion. A groove width in the narrow portion is narrower than a groove width in the groove inlet portion.

A switch box assembly is configured to house a switch box having a bus bar. The switch box assembly includes a holder, a nut housing and a guide. The holder includes a back wall. The back wall includes a slot for receiving the bus bar. The nut housing is configured to house a nut. The guide is disposed on the nut housing and adjacent the back wall, the guide dimensioned to guide the bus bar over a top surface of the nut. Accordingly, the guide prevents the bus bar from hitting the nut during installation.

Flat surfaces out of two flat surfaces of each of flat electrical connection bodies of a relay bus bar and a bus bar of an electronic component are mating surfaces brought into contact with each other by a fixing structure. At least one of the flat electrical connection bodies of the relay bus bar and the bus bar applies a reaction force accompanying the elastic deformation to the other flat electrical connection body, to which the one flat electrical connection body is to be connected, in a state in which the flat electrical connection body of the bus bar at an accommodation completion position in a housing has not been connected to the relay bus bar. The housing includes a receiving portion receiving a force applied to the flat electrical connection body of the bus bar from the flat electrical connection body of the relay bus bar.

An electric junction box assembly includes a case, a housing and a cover. A housing is disposed on an outer surface of the case. The housing includes a back wall and a pair of supports disposed on the back wall. The supports are spaced apart from each other and each support includes an upper support member and a lower support member spaced apart from each other so as to define an opening. The upper support member has an arcuate inner surface and the lower support member has an arcuate inner surface each having a radius greater than the opening. The cover includes an axial rod having a thickness smaller than a height of the opening and a width greater than the height of the opening, wherein a rotation of the axial rod prevents the cover from being dislodged from the opening.

An electrical junction box comprises an electrically conductive housing and at least one cable end wherein an everted braided shield section of the cable end is received in a retainer section of the housing and an electrically conductive adhesive is provided.
