  • Patent number: 12037935
    Abstract: A cooling apparatus for a vehicle includes air-cooling first and second heat exchangers that are placed beside each other. A coolant flow-out portion of the first heat exchanger from which a first coolant which is a cooling target of the first heat exchanger flows out and a coolant flow-out portion of the second heat exchanger from which a second coolant which is a cooling target of the second heat exchanger flows out are placed at ends at opposite positions separated along a diagonal line on a parallel placement surface of the two heat exchangers. A first cooling fan is placed opposing the coolant flow-out portion of the first heat exchanger, and a second cooling fan is placed opposing the coolant flow-out portion of the second heat exchanger. With this configuration, cooling performance of two air-cooling heat exchangers placed beside each other can be improved.

  • Patent number: 11833883
    Abstract: A cooling fan device includes an electronic control unit that controls an engagement rate of a fan clutch. The electronic control unit executes a first calculation process that calculates an air conditioner requested engagement rate, a second calculation process that calculates, as a first guard value, a value of an engagement rate at which a fan rotation speed increases at a specified speed and an upper limit guarding process that sets a value of the air conditioner requested engagement rate to the first guard value when a calculated value of the air conditioner requested engagement rate in the first calculation process exceeds the first guard value. The electronic control unit further controls the engagement rate of the fan clutch based on a value of the air conditioner requested engagement rate after execution of the upper limit guarding process.

  • Publication number: 20220335449
    Abstract: An information management system is provided. By performing designated filter processes on data collected via a network, a post number set, an estimation number set, and a sales number set are acquired for each type of product handled by a designated entity. By combining the post number set, the estimation number set, and the sales number set based on a unified notation common to each set, combined data in which a post number, an estimation number, and a sales number are associated for each type of product is generated. Correlation information indicating correlations between the post number, the estimation number, and the sales number is generated for each type of product based on the combined data and is outputted to an output interface of an information terminal device.

  • Patent number: 11429678
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a system that can easily calculate a similarity rate of a target document when comparing the target document. An array set of a designated type of words (e.g., nouns) is respectively extracted from a test document and a reference document as an arrayed test document and an arrayed reference document. A word included in a common word set of the arrayed test document and the arrayed reference document is defined as true as a proposition, and other words are defined as false as propositions. Further, when a ratio of words defined as true as propositions in a word array of a first designated length including a word among words defined as false as propositions is greater than or equal to a first designated value, the word is redefined as a wildcard and true as a proposition.
