Abstract: According to the embodiment, the electric motor controller is configured to perform control such that a free-state limit torque after switching from the ring-locking state to the free state is set to a value larger in absolute value than an upper limit torque of the first electric motor or the second electric motor determined by electric motor specifications at the time of switching from the ring-locking state to the free state or is set to a value larger in absolute value than a restricted state limit torque at the time of switching from the ring-locking state to the free state. The restricted state limit torque is a limit torque of the first electric motor or the second electric motor, and the electric motor controller performs control such that the torque generated by the first electric motor or the second electric motor is less than the free-state limit torque.

Abstract: The rear wheel driving device 1 includes: an electric motor 2A connected to a left rear wheel LWr; an electric motor 2B connected to a right rear wheel RWr; and a control device 8 for controlling the electric motors 2A and 2B. The control device 8 controls the electric motors 2A and 2B such that a third relationship is satisfied as the first priority based on at least either a first relationship or a second relationship, and the third relationship. The first relationship is defined as including a sum of right and left wheel torques, a sum of right and left motor generator torques, a sum of right and left wheel driving forces, or a sum of right and left motor generator driving forces. The second relationship is defined as including a difference between right and left wheel torques, a difference between right and left motor generator torques, a difference between right and left wheel driving forces, or a difference between right and left motor generator driving forces.

Abstract: A vehicle in which a drive state can be favorably selected in a configuration that separately and independently drives front and rear wheels and a method for controlling the vehicle. In the vehicle and control method thereof, a drive state control device prohibits operation of a first switch between front wheel drive (FWD) and all wheel drive (AWD) and a second switch between rear wheel drive (RWD) and AWD when a lateral acceleration related value of the vehicle exceeds a first threshold value G1. The first threshold value G1 is set with a divergence reference value Gref as a reference. The Gref value is determined considering factors such as lateral acceleration, turning characteristics and the drive state of the vehicle.

Abstract: When both a left rear wheel and a right rear wheel are driven by first and second electric motors, and acceleration slippage occurs at either the left wheel or the right wheel, the acceleration slippage is reduced by decreasing the command motor torque (power drive torque) of the first or second electric motor connected to the wheel at which acceleration slippage was generated. The command motor torque of the first or second electric motor connected to the other wheel (wheel on the other side) on the right or left side that is opposite the wheel at which slippage occurred is increased, thereby making it possible to supplement the decrease in the driving torque of the wheel at which slippage occurred.

Abstract: A storage apparatus provides a server apparatus with virtual volumes in thin provisioning; allocates a physical page to each pool page from a storage pool that is able to provide a plurality of types of physical pages classified into tiers, the pool page being an allocation unit of a storage area to the virtual volumes; stores an I/O count of each of the pool pages, stores an I/O count policy set for each of the applications; when receiving an I/O request, counts the I/O count of each of the pool pages in accordance with the I/O count policy set for the application having sent the I/O request; determines the tier of the physical page to be allocated to each pool page according to the I/O count of each pool page; and allocating the physical page in the tier determined for each of the pool pages.

Abstract: An automotive display device, which allows the user to easily recognize the sameness of an information image even if the shape of the image is changed, is realized. An automotive display device (1) includes a display section (13) for displaying a vehicle information image including information regarding a vehicle. The vehicle information image is a 3-D image. The automotive display device (1) further includes an image processing section (113) for generating a vehicle information image seen from a fixed viewpoint, an image display processing section (114) for displaying the vehicle information image on the display section (13), and an ETC information detection section (21) that detects a driving condition of the vehicle. The image processing section (113) rotates the vehicle information image around a predetermined axis and for a predetermined angle, in accordance with ETC information obtained by the ETC information detecting section (21).

Abstract: A connector capable of maintaining contact reliability even with reduced arrangement pitch of contacts. First and second contacts are alternately arranged on a housing along contact arrangement direction orthogonal to direction of fitting the housing to a receptacle connector. A first contact portion, first bending portion, and first connecting portion connected to a coaxial cable, of each first contact are disposed on an upper surface, front portion and rear portion of the arranging portion, respectively. A linkage portion connecting the first bending and connecting portions, and a second contact portion continuous with a second connecting portion of each second contact are disposed on a lower surface of the arranging portion. A second bending portion disposed on the front portion is continuous with the second contact portion. The linkage portion is smaller in width in the arrangement direction than the first and second contact portions.

Abstract: A connector is matable with a mating connector which has an engaged portion. The connector comprises a support portion and a lock member pivotally supported by the support portion. The lock member comprises a body portion, a lock portion, a spring portion and an operated portion. The body portion comprises a first predetermined portion which has a plate-like shape and is pivotally supported by the support portion. The lock portion is movable between a lock position and a release position in response to a pivotal movement of the body portion. The lock portion comprises an engaging portion engagable with the engaged portion. The engagement of the engaging portion with the engaged portion is locked when the lock portion is positioned at the lock position, while the engagement is released when the lock portion is positioned at the release position. The spring portion urges the lock portion to move toward the lock position.
