Abstract: A rotational angle of a motor operative to propel forward a screw in an injection molding machine is detected at an encoder. An output from the encoder is employed to obtain an angular velocity ? of the motor. From the obtained angular velocity ?, an estimated melt pressure value ?^ that contains no differential term is derived using a certain observer theory. The estimated melt pressure value ?^ is employed to calculate a torque command value TCMD for the motor, which is fed back to the motor. Thus, precise propelling power control unaffected by noises can be executed without the use of a pressure sensor such as a load cell.

Thus, precise propelling power control unaffected by noises can be executed without the use of a pressure sensor such as a load cell.

Abstract: A refresh charge control device which counts a time after achieving a fully charged condition of a battery by last refresh charge and an accumulative value of a charge and discharge electric current. Plural relationship between the time and the accumulative value is determined as conditions for carrying out the refresh charge of the battery. When either one of those relationship is established, the refresh charge of the battery is performed for fully charging the battery. It is judged whether a condition that a vehicle speed is equal to or faster than a predetermined vehicle speed continues for a predetermined time. Even the condition that the vehicle speed is equal to or faster than the predetermined vehicle speed continues for the predetermined time, the refresh charge of the battery is performed for fully charging the battery irrespective of the relationship between the time and the accumulative value.
