  • Patent number: 11920674
    Abstract: In this shift device, in a case in which an external force has acted on a lever when an operating mechanism is causing the lever to pivot, a clutch mechanism permits rotation of a first detent plate with respect to a second detent plate, such that pivoting of the lever is permitted. Note that a restraining mechanism urges the lever toward a shift position. This enables to the restraining mechanism to urge the lever separately to the clutch mechanism, thereby enabling the degrees of freedom for setting a biasing load on the lever by the restraining mechanism to be increased.

  • Publication number: 20230382366
    Abstract: A controller for a hybrid electric vehicle executes an engine starting process when an execution condition for starting an engine is satisfied. The engine starting process includes a first starting process that drives a motor generator to crank the engine and a second starting process that is executed when the first starting process failed to start the engine. The second starting process includes suspending supply of power to the motor generator and then driving the motor generator to crank the engine. The controller performs a counting process that counts an occurrence of execution of the second starting process after the first starting process failed to start the engine. When the counted occurrence is greater than or equal to a determination threshold value, the controller prohibits operation of an idle reduction system of the engine even if the second starting process successfully started the engine.

  • Publication number: 20230271603
    Abstract: A controller for a hybrid electric vehicle executes an engine starting process including a first starting process and a second starting process. The first starting process drives a motor generator. The second starting process is executed when a shifting condition is satisfied in the first starting process. The second starting process includes suspending the supply of power to the motor generator and then driving the motor generator. When an engine rotation speed becomes greater than or equal to an engine rotation speed threshold value and an elapsed time is within a second time threshold value during the second starting process, the controller determines that an engine is successfully started. The second time threshold value is greater than a first time threshold value that is compared with the elapsed time during the first starting process.

  • Patent number: 11657077
    Abstract: A computer system document according to one embodiment includes a generation unit and an update unit. The generation unit performs first machine learning on a target document, as input data, to which a correct path in a tree structure where each node indicates a document category is given, and thereby generates a classification model indicating a right path to a leaf node for the target document. The update unit performs second machine learning that applies, to the classification model, the target document to which the correct path is not given, and when a path from an Nth level node to an (N+1)th level node is different from the correct path, updates the classification model by setting a modified path from the (N+1)th level node to an (N+2)th level node different from a child node of the (N+1)th level node based on the correct path.
