  • Patent number: 9068516
    Abstract: A reaction force control unit calculates a driver's requested output and then estimates a maximum output that can be generated by an engine in a current cylinder deactivation operation. Next, the reaction force control unit calculates a difference between the maximum output and the requested output as an output difference and then determines whether the output difference has reached a predetermined reaction force start threshold value, and if the determination result is Yes, the reaction force control unit estimates a number of to-be-reactivated cylinders on the basis of the output difference and the current cylinder deactivation operation state. Subsequently, the reaction force control unit sets a target reaction force on the basis of the output difference and the number of to-be-reactivated cylinders, and outputs drive current to a reaction force actuator.

  • Publication number: 20110278989
    Abstract: To provide a power generation member having a high power generating capacity, a power generation device using the same, and a power generation system. A power generation member 1 includes: a piezoelectric element 2 in which electrodes 2a and 2c are formed on both main faces of a plate-shaped piezoelectric ceramic 2b; a pressing member to press one main face of the piezoelectric element 2; and a support member 4 to support the other main face of the piezoelectric element 2, wherein the support member 4 supports an outer rim of the piezoelectric element 2, and the pressing member 3 presses the piezoelectric element 2 at a part inside the support member 4 with a planar pressing face. It is possible to reduce cancellation of the generated charge, as well as to allow the piezoelectric ceramic 2b to deform sufficiently to produce large strain by pressure energy generated by a walking man or vibration energy generated by a running car and the like. As a result, it is possible to effectively obtain large electricity.
