  • Patent number: 11518365
    Abstract: In a hybrid vehicle control system, when a first traveling mode using torque of an electric motor is switched to a second traveling mode using torque of an engine, a controller performs an engine start control by applying an engagement pressure to a first clutch and by cranking the engine by the electric motor, so as to start the engine. Specifically, the controller obtains a predicted start time and an actual start time by the engine start control, and corrects the engagement pressure so as to decrease the engagement pressure applied to the first clutch at a subsequent time of starting the engine, when the actual start time is shorter than the predicted start time.

  • Patent number: 11520783
    Abstract: A system, program product, and method for use with an artificial intelligence (AI) platform to dynamically amend a knowledge base responsive to query evaluating and processing. A received or detected query is subject to natural language processing to identify, annotate, and map one or more query tokens against a knowledge base. The query tokens are evaluated against the knowledge base to identify one or more query tokens absent from the knowledge base and leverage a neural network to predict a probability relationship between the query tokens absent from the knowledge base and one or more tokens populated in the knowledge base. The natural language (NL) query is translated to a structured query language (SQL) and the SQL query is executed and evaluated, and the knowledge base is selectively and dynamically amended subject to the SQL evaluation.

  • Patent number: 11523074
    Abstract: In a pixel array unit 11, pixels that generate pixel signals are arranged in a matrix. A control unit 17 performs reading of pixel signals in a first mode in which reading of the pixel signals is performed by thinning out lines from the pixel array unit 11, and reading of pixel signals in a second mode in which reading of the pixel signals is performed by including the lines thinned out in the first mode after the reading in the first mode. A signal processing unit 16 uses a pixel signal read in the first mode and a pixel signal read in the second mode, to set an amount of correction for a pixel of the lines thinned out in the first mode, on the basis of the pixel signal read in the second mode from a pixel in which reading of the pixel signal is performed in the first mode and the second mode, and corrects the pixel signal read in the second mode from the pixel of the lines thinned out in the first mode with the set amount of correction to reduce an influence of leakage light.

  • Patent number: 11521950
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, a controller relatively moves a bonding tool and a stage close to each other while causing a semiconductor chip to adhere by suction to a surface via a tape using at least a first suction structure in a first period. In a second period, the controller controls the temperature of the bonding tool to a first target temperature while keeping substantially equal to a target pressure a pressure applied to the semiconductor chip by the bonding tool. In a third period, the controller controls a relative distance between the bonding tool and the stage so that the pressure applied to the semiconductor chip by the bonding tool is kept equal to the target pressure and controls the temperature of the bonding tool to a second target temperature. The second target temperature is higher than the first target temperature.

  • Patent number: 11518649
    Abstract: An elevator derailment detecting device according to the present invention detects the opened and closed states of contacts at first and second safety relays 82 and 83 (steps S1 and S2). Since a first NO contact 82b is closed, a first NC contact 82c is opened, a second NO contact 83b is closed, and a second NC contact 83c is opened, it is determined that there is no circuit failure. Then, the opened and closed state of the contactless relay 84 is detected (step S3). When the contactless relay NO contact 84b is closed and the contactless relay NC contact 84c is opened, it is determined that the counterweight 21 of the elevator 11 is in a derailed state.
