  • Publication number: 20240039817
    Abstract: A video transmission system includes a video transmitter for storing a packet of video data in a transmitting buffer and transmitting the packet stored in the transmitting buffer, a video receiver for receiving the packet, and an estimation unit for estimating a characteristic of a transmission line between the video transmitter and the video receiver from an arrival time of each packet in the video receiver. The video transmitter transmits a packet at a timing specified from an inverse characteristic of a characteristic of the transmission line.

  • Publication number: 20230179894
    Abstract: An object of the present disclosure is to provide a data communication system, a computing apparatus, a data communication method, and a program, which are capable of highly reliable data transfer with low latency between computing apparatuses. The present disclosure achieves a highly reliable communication path by directly connecting computing apparatuses via an optical path and transmitting data through the optical path. Further, the present disclosure uses the optical path to achieve RDAM over wavelength transmission in which existing RDMA-enabled protocol stacks such as InfiniBand and TCP/IP/Ether are eliminated. The present disclosure eliminates the protocol stacks, enabling transfer with lower latency than in a case of “simply performing RDMA transmission over the wavelength path”.

  • Patent number: 11458830
    Abstract: A powertrain system includes an internal combustion engine, a motor generator and a control device. The motor generator includes a rotating shaft connected to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine via a torsional damper. The powertrain system is configured such that the crankshaft and the above-described rotating shaft are not connected to a drive shaft of a vehicle at least at the time of engine start. The control device is configured to execute a cranking torque amplification control that controls the motor generator such that the MG torque output from the motor generator for cranking the internal combustion engine fluctuates in a resonant period of the torsional damper while making a fluctuation center of the MG torque higher than zero.

  • Patent number: 11312360
    Abstract: If the destination has not been input, it is judged whether the present location is on the expressway (step S32). If the judgement result of the step S32 is positive, it is judged whether or not the actual SOC is less than or equal to the threshold TH2 (step S34). If the judgement result of the step S34 is positive, the restoring control is executed (step S36). Subsequent to the step S34 or S36, it is judged whether or not the vehicle is still on the expressway (step S38). If the judgement result of the step S38 is positive, it is judged whether or not the actual SOC is greater than or equal to the SOC_T2 (step S42). If the judgement result of the step S42 is positive, the maintaining control is executed (step S44).

  • Patent number: 8181446
    Abstract: A reduction catalyst is disposed in an exhaust passage of an engine. A reducing agent added to the exhaust gas is urged to react with NOx in the exhaust gas, catalyzed by the reduction catalyst. A member for distributing the exhaust gas to which the reducing agent has been added is provided. This member is formed by applying of an axial welding and is disposed in the exhaust passage such that the internal surface of its joining portion is disposed to overhang from the topmost position of the joining portion.

  • Patent number: 7784273
    Abstract: An exhaust emission purifying apparatus has a NOx reduction catalytic converter in an exhaust passage of an engine, for purifying nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas by reduction with urea aqueous solution; an injection nozzle injecting the urea solution toward an exhaust upstream side of the converter in the exhaust passage; and fins disposed on an exhaust upstream side of an injection position of the urea solution in the injection nozzle, for generating a spiral swirling flow of the gas swirling about a center corresponding to the central axis of an exhaust pipe. The swirling flow generated in the exhaust gas prior to the injection-supply of the urea aqueous solution promotes mixing of the solution with the gas to thereby promote the hydrolysis of the urea solution. And the exhaust gas and ammonia generated from the urea solution are uniformly mixed together.

  • Patent number: 7562521
    Abstract: The flow of exhaust gas flowing through the SCR muffler becomes good, thus improving the efficiency of purging nitrogen oxide (NOx) contained in exhaust gas. Further, vibrations that are caused by vibrations of the vehicle, exhaust gas, and the like, to which a reducing agent, etc., supplying nozzle is subject, are suppressed or reduced, thus improving the efficiency of an SCR catalyst purging nitrogen oxide (NOx) and the durability of the reducing agent, etc., supplying nozzle. The SCR muffler comprises an SCR catalyst 1 for selectively reducing and purging nitrogen oxide (NOx) contained in exhaust gas; an exhaust pipe 2 that allows the exhaust gas to flow into the SCR catalyst; and a reducing agent, etc., supplying means 3 that supplies a reducing agent or a reducing agent precursor to the exhaust gas. A plate 4 having air holes 5 which disperse and make a flow of the exhaust gas uniform is provided downstream of the reducing agent, etc., supplying means and upstream of the SCR catalyst.
