  • Patent number: 9815454
    Abstract: A control system for a hybrid vehicle having an engine and a plurality of motors is provided. An operating mode of the hybrid vehicle is selected depending on a required driving force from a first mode where the vehicle is powered by the engine, a second mode where the vehicle is powered by the plurality of motors, and a third mode where the vehicle is powered by any one of the motors. The control system is characterized by a detection means that detects an output power of the prime mover, and a setting means that alters a selectability of the second mode in accordance with the output power of the prime mover.

  • Patent number: 9682697
    Abstract: A control system for a hybrid vehicle having an engine and motors is provided. The control system is configured to select an operating mode of the vehicle from a first operating mode in which the vehicle is powered by the engine, a second operating mode in which the vehicle is powered by two motors, and a third operating mode in which the vehicle is powered by the motor of the smaller number. The control system does not select the second operating mode when a required driving force is changed at rate greater than a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 4212624
    Abstract: A mold suitable for use in simultaneous molding of a large number of articles at a time by hot-runner molding technique. The mold has a hot-runner block in which disposed are a plurality of gates through which the molten resin is delivered to the molding cavities formed in a cavity block which is usually kept at a low temperature. The gate area of the hot-runner block is kept in contact with the cavity block, for the safe deliver of the resin to the molding cavities, in the injection step and, therefore, is cooled by the cavity block. Consequently, when the injection is completed, the gate area has been cooled to such a low temperature as to cause a solidification of the resin in the gate area. The hot-runner block is then separated from the cavity block and brought into contact with a hot gate-temperature recovering block, so that the gates are heated to remelt the solidified resin, before the next batch of injection is performed, so as to recover the fluidity of the resin.
