  • Publication number: 20020188395
    Abstract: The present invention intends to provide a control device for a fuel cell vehicle which suppresses the deterioration of driveability upon acceleration without increasing the size of a driving electric motor or a motor driver. When a requested output (PD_CAL) exceeds a first output limit determined depending on a continuous output rating of an electric motor 10 or a motor driver 5 and an increasing rate of the requested output (PD_CAL) exceeds a reference increasing rate, an upper-limit target output determining unit 52 determines an assist time used as a time during which the electric motor 10 can be operated continuously by the requested output (PD_CAL) on the basis of the requested output (PD CAL) and an open-circuit voltage (Vcap_o) of a capacitor 3. Until the assist time is elapsed, the upper-limit target output (PD_LMT) is set to a second output limit (>the first output limit) determined depending on a short-time output rating of the electric motor 10 or the motor driver 5.

  • Patent number: 5932871
    Abstract: A microscope includes a light source, an objective lens for converging light emitted from the light source onto a sample, and an optical detector for detecting either light from the sample via a confocal point diaphragm or light from the sample which does not pass through the confocal point diaphragm. A range of a focusing point is detected in accordance with the light which does not pass through the confocal diaphragm, and the focusing point is then detected in accordance with the light detected via the confocal point diaphragm in the detected range of the focusing point.
