Abstract: A stator including, a stator core having a slot, a winding wire to be inserted into the slot; and an insulation sheet interposed between the slot and the winding wire and configured to electrically insulate an inner wall of the slot and the winding wire, wherein the insulation sheet includes an insulation paper, a first adhesive layer disposed on a front surface of the insulation paper facing the inner wall of the slot, and a second adhesive layer disposed on a back surface of the insulation paper facing the winding wire, a foaming adhesive to be thermally cured while foaming by heating is disposed on the first adhesive layer, and a non-foaming adhesive having lower viscosity than that of the foaming adhesive when unheated is disposed on the second adhesive layer.

Abstract: While a vehicle is traveling in an automatic driving mode, an auto-driving oil pressure changing unit makes the engagement pressure of hydraulic oil supplied to a release-side engagement device to be released during a downshift of a stepwise shifting unit, higher than the engagement pressure set during traveling in a manual driving mode, so that retraction of the acceleration due to a drop of drive torque during the downshift is reduced. At this time, an auto-driving rotating machine controller makes drive-side MG2 torque generated from a second rotating machine, larger than that generated during traveling in the manual driving mode, so as to speed up the progress of the downshift, and prevent retraction of the acceleration from being prolonged.

Abstract: A control apparatus for a vehicle provided, with a step-variable transmission, includes: a feedback control portion; an input torque resetting control portion; a target input torque setting portion operated upon an increase of the accelerator pedal operation amount in the process of the shift-down action in a power-off state of the vehicle, to restrict an amount of increase of the input torque target value with respect to an amount of increase of an operator-required input torque value, so as to keep the target value not larger than an upper limit value until termination of the input torque resetting control; and an actual input torque increasing portion operated upon the increase of the accelerator pedal operation amount prior to initiation of the inertia phase, to implement an input torque increasing control to control the input torque so as to be larger than the target value, prior to the inertia phase initiation.
