Abstract: An internal gear pump includes an outer rotor, an inner rotor, and a pump housing. The inner rotor is rotatably disposed inside the outer rotor having internal teeth, forms pump chambers between the outer rotor and the inner rotor, and has external teeth. The pump housing has an inhalation port, a discharge port, and a first notch formed within a first land surface that extends from an end of the inhalation port to an end of the discharge port. The first notch is formed along a projection trajectory obtained by projecting a trajectory of chip points on the first land surface, where each chip point is a middle point between a corresponding one of the internal teeth and a corresponding one of the external teeth at a location at which the internal and external teeth substantially face each other above the first land surface and are closest to each other.

Abstract: An all-wheel-drive-vehicle controller includes: a drive gear coupled to a driving source; a driven gear meshed with the drive gear and coupled to main and sub driving-wheel axle shafts transmitting torques to main and sub driving wheels, respectively; a transfer clutch interposed between the driven gear and the sub-driving-wheel axle shaft and adjusting the torque transmitted to the sub driving wheel; a first determination unit determining whether a first condition in which a torque applied to the drive gear is substantially zero is satisfied; a second determination unit determining whether a second condition in which hydraulic pressure is applied to the transfer clutch and a torque applied to the driven gear is substantially zero is satisfied; and a control unit controlling a torque adjuster to adjust the torque applied to either one of the drive gear and the driven gear if the first and second conditions are satisfied.
