PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a failure detection device capable of determining failure of a voltage supply device more accurately.SOLUTION: A vehicle 10 includes: an idle stop ECU62 for automatically stopping an engine 20 and automatically restarting the engine 20 by a starter 21; a DC-DC converter 30 for raising a voltage supplied from a battery 23 on an automatic restart of the engine 20 by a step-up circuit 50; and an engine ECU for causing a fixed voltage to be supplied by an alternator 22 during execution of a fuel-cut of the engine 20.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a detection device for the internal state of a secondary cell capable of reducing lowering of estimation precision caused by variations in the cell temperature, in neural network calculation type estimation for the internal state of the secondary cell. SOLUTION: A neural network section is made to learn the true value of the cell temperature, and a large temperature value and a small temperature value separated from the true cell temperature by a temperature difference equal approximately to the detection error of a temperature sensor. By entering a cell temperature detected by the temperature sensor into this neural network section having learned and calculating an SOC, the precision of SOC calculation can be increased sharply.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a state quantity computing method for a vehicle battery capable of enhancing the computing accuracy of the battery state quantity and to provide a supply voltage controller for the vehicle battery able to perform stably the high-speed, high precision control of the supply voltage. SOLUTION: The supply voltage to be impressed on a circuit system connected with the battery 1 is converged to the predetermined target level by controlling the charge/discharge current of the battery 1 to the predetermined target value when the supply voltage as the voltage of the battery 1, a power generating means 7, and the power supply line 5 of the vehicle where an electric load is connected, is controlled to the predetermined target voltage. Thereby the supply voltage can be adjusted taking the change in the battery internal condition due to execution of the control into account, compared with the conventional supply voltage feedback control, so that it is possible to improve the control response.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication apparatus that is hardly affected by an unnecessary electromagnetic onto a balance/unbalance converter. SOLUTION: The communication apparatus has a push-pull circuit 16, balance/unbalance converters 13a, 13b connected to its input and output, and the balance/unbalance converters 13a, 13b are formed to be L-shape. Since the size of the balance/unbalance converters 13a, 13b in its length direction with respect to the sensitivity direction of an unnecessary electromagnetic wave can be decreased, the resonance frequency of the balance/unbalance converters 13a, 13b is shifted toward high frequencies. Thus, the frequency of a interference wave is shifted toward higher frequencies than a substantial objective signal frequency.
