  • Patent number: 10344850
    Abstract: A shift control apparatus of an automatic transmission includes: an input detecting unit configured to detect a real rotational speed of the input shaft; an output detecting unit configured to detect a real rotational speed of the output shaft; an estimating unit configured to estimate an estimated rotational speed of the input shaft, which corresponds to a shift request, by multiplying the real rotational speed of the output shaft by a target gear ratio; and a control unit configured to control the rotation of the input shaft based on a detection result from the input detecting unit. The control unit controls the rotation of the input shaft such that an upper-limiting rotational speed of a variation in real rotational speed of the input shaft is lower than the estimated rotational speed.

  • Patent number: 6083437
    Abstract: A method for dimensional stabilization treatment is disclosed which enables externally supplied high pressure steam to permeate well into interior of wood or wood composite, and which is thereby capable of constantly imparting high dimensional stability to the wood or wood composite. In the method, wood or wood composite W to be treated is held in a sealed space between two press platens 1a, 1b, and the sealed space is evacuated to establish reduced pressure therein, and thereupon, high pressure steam is supplied to the sealed space. The evacuation may be continued in parallel with the high pressure steam supply.
