  • Publication number: 20230250767
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to obtain a controller device for a variable valve timing apparatus capable of controlling a phase to an arbitrary fixed valve timing from immediately before an internal combustion engine stops until after the internal combustion engine has stopped. The controller device for the variable valve timing apparatus according to the present invention performs, during engine stop processing of the internal combustion engine, normal control of changing the relative rotational phase of a camshaft to a most advanced position or a most retarded position when the rotational speed of a crankshaft is equal to or more than a first threshold, and low-speed control of fixing a current or a voltage supplied to the motor to be constant to maintain the relative rotational phase of the camshaft at the most advanced position or the most retarded position in a period from when the rotational speed of the crankshaft is lower than the first threshold until the rotational speed becomes zero.

  • Patent number: 11646026
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an information processing system and an information processing method capable of auditing the utterance data of an agent more flexibly. In one example, an information processing system includes: a storage section that stores utterance data of an agent; a communication section that receives request information transmitted from a client terminal and requesting utterance data of a specific agent from a user; and a control section that, when the request information is received through the communication section, replies to the client terminal with corresponding utterance data, and in accordance with feedback from the user with respect to the utterance data, updates an utterance probability level expressing a probability that the specific agent will utter utterance content indicated by the utterance data, and records the updated utterance probability level in association with the specific agent and the utterance content in the storage section.
