Patent number: 7973500Abstract: A normal revolution number calculation unit calculates a normal revolution number of a driving motor generator in every control period, based on a signal from a rotational position sensor. A moving average calculation unit calculates a moving average revolution number of the normal revolution number given in every control period. A predicted revolution number calculation unit determines whether or not the revolution number of the motor generator is in an increasing state, from the locus of the moving average revolution number. Determining that the revolution number of the motor generator is in the increasing state, the predicted revolution number calculation unit calculates a predicted revolution number based on respective moving average revolution numbers in the present and preceding control periods. The calculated predicted revolution number is set to be used as a control revolution number and output to a motor control unit and a torque command calculation unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2006Date of Patent: July 5, 2011Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishiInventors: Kenji Yamada, Hideaki Saida, Takuo Watanabe

Patent number: 7485697Abstract: The object of this invention is to elucidate the factors involved in the regulation of AGE (advanced glycation endproducts, which are produced in a living body accompanied with diabetes and aging) and RAGE (the receptor for AGE), in order to facilitate investigation on the biological activities, physiological phenomenon and diseases related to AGE and RAGE. Plural molecular species are known to exist for RAGE, and among such molecular species, soluble RAGE exhibits the activity to modulate interaction between AGE and transmembrane-type RAGE. Using this soluble RAGE or a nucleic acid encoding it, the soluble RAGE can be measured, in addition, investigation on various physiological phenomenon, biological activities, and diseases related to interaction between AGE and RAGE can be performed to facilitate development a medicine having further efficacy.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2002Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Assignee: Japan as Represented by President of Kanazawa UniversityInventors: Hiroshi Yamamoto, Hideto Yonekura, Yasuhiko Yamamoto, Shigeru Sakurai, Takuo Watanabe
