Abstract: A vehicle drive device includes a drive shaft to be driven by a drive source, a rotation transmission unit that transmits rotation input from the drive shaft to a wheel, a mechanical oil pump that generates a hydraulic pressure by the rotation of the drive shaft, an electric oil pump that electrically generates a hydraulic pressure, a hydraulic control device that supplies lubricating oil to the rotation transmission unit based on the hydraulic pressures generated by the mechanical oil pump and the electric oil pump, a drive circuit that controls electric power to be supplied to the electric oil pump, and a control unit that controls a drive condition of the drive circuit. The control unit stops the drive circuit and shuts down the electric oil pump when a temperature of refrigerant for cooling the drive circuit is equal to or higher than a third start temperature.

Abstract: A rotating electrical machine control system includes a base current instruction setting part that sets a base current instruction based on target torque of a rotating electrical machine; a correction current instruction setting part that sets a correction current instruction with a frequency determined based on torque ripple; and a current control part that performs current feedback control to compute a voltage instruction which is an instruction value of a voltage to be applied to the rotating electrical machine. The current control part includes a first current control part whose control target is a component of the base current instruction; and a second current control part whose control target is a component of the correction current instruction. A gain of the second current control part is set to be low compared to a gain of the first current control part.

Abstract: A control apparatus for a hybrid electric vehicle that includes (i) an engine, (ii) a first electric motor, (iii) a second electric motor, (iv) first wheels, (v) second wheels and (vi) an engagement device disposed between the engine/first electric motor and the first wheels. The engagement device establishes and cuts off transmission of a power of the engine/first electric motor to the first wheels, by connecting and disconnecting between an input rotary member and an output rotary member. During running of the vehicle in a running mode in which the engagement device is released and the vehicle is caused to run by a power of the second electric motor, it is determined whether the engagement device is being released or not, based on (a) a rotational speed difference between the input and output rotary members and (b) a rotational state of the engine or the first electric motor.

Abstract: A solution to mitigate organizational risks and exposure from damages and harm related to distracted driving. The invention includes a system, method, and devices that enable the organization to manage, monitor, and enforce corporate Mobile Device policies, in particular policies to deter and prevent distracted driving and encourage safe alternatives. A system for preventing distracted driving, including an Organizational Policy for anti-distracted driving including a rule and a Mobile Device configured to restrict, disable, or enable a feature of the Mobile Device based upon the rule.

Abstract: A transaction system includes a network of terminals and a network of servers each form separate communication networks for impersonal transaction and anonymous transmission. No reference to an individual person exists for executing card transactions at a point of sale. The terminals generate impersonal identifiers for a discrete card and user and the servers receive the impersonal identifiers for datafile matching to authorize a transaction at the point of sale for a discrete card and user. No personal identifiers are carried on the card to identify a cardholder, the card is impersonal.

Abstract: A process for improving the electrostatic charge developed on a resin powder composition for electrostatic coating of solid objects and the method of application thereof. The resin powder comprises (i) a thermosetting or thermoplastic resin and (ii) an electrostatic property modifying agent (polyalkylene ether, polyalkylene glycol, polyethoxylated stearyl alcohol) incorporated in the resin or on the surface of the resin. The methods of application of the powder involves charging the powder by electrical induction/conduction and spraying the charged powder onto a grounded solid object to which it adheres prior to the thermal fusing to produce a permanent finish.
