  • Patent number: 10575128
    Abstract: A determination unit refers to position information of a terminal device registered in a given base station device to determine ease of connection to another base station device. A generator generates, for the terminal device, guidance information to prompt the terminal device to move to a position where a likelihood of connection to the other base station device is increased, based on a result of determination in the determination unit. A transmitter transmits the guidance information generated in the generator to the terminal device.

  • Patent number: 9759316
    Abstract: A normal oil passage that supplies hydraulic pressure to a friction engagement element through a hydraulic control valve, and a bypass oil passage that supplies hydraulic pressure to the friction engagement element while bypassing the hydraulic control valve, are provided. By switching an operative position of a manual valve, a hydraulic pressure supply route to the friction engagement element is switched between the normal oil passage and the bypass oil passage. By switching to the bypass oil passage, the hydraulic pressure supplied to the friction engagement element is not affected by operation of the hydraulic control valve, and a cleaning control may be performed to cause the hydraulic control valve to perform a cleaning operation. Accordingly, even if an operation amount of the cleaning control for the hydraulic control valve is increased, malfunctions by the friction engagement element will not occur.

  • Patent number: 9762122
    Abstract: A load drive controlling device includes a dulling controller, a dulling adjuster, and a Proportional Integral (PI) controller. The dulling adjuster sets a first electric current value for a dulling adjustment operation according to a change trend of a target electric current value in an inductive load. The dulling adjuster performs the dulling adjustment operation on the first electric current and limits a dulled value based on a guard value. The PI controller performs a PI control based on a deviation between the dulled value and an actual value of the electric current. The dulling controller sets the first electric current value and the guard value according to a change trend of the target electric current value. In such a configuration, the load drive controlling device improves an electric current response while preventing an over-accumulation of an integration value.

  • Patent number: 9746072
    Abstract: An oil pressure control device controls a supply pressure of oil supplied to an oil pressure chamber of a friction element having a first engagement board and a second engagement board engaged with or disengaged from each other between a non-engagement state and a non-sliding engagement state via a sliding engagement state. The oil pressure control device includes: an electromagnetic valve that controls the supply pressure using a spool which reciprocates according to an energizing amount; and a control part that defines a first oscillatory wave part in which the energizing amount is controlled by making a first waveform with a first frequency to superimpose on a second waveform with a second frequency higher than the first frequency during a first period while the sliding engagement state and an instruction value of the supply pressure are kept constant.

  • Patent number: 9695931
    Abstract: A pressure regulating passage includes a pressure regulating valve and a check valve. The pressure regulating valve regulates a hydraulic pressure supplied to a friction engagement element to be a predetermined pressure lower than an engagement pressure. The check valve prevents reverse flow of hydraulic oil supplied to the friction engagement element. An operative position of a manual valve is switched so as to switched between a passage that supplies hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic pressure supply passage while bypassing the pressure regulating passage and a passage that supplies hydraulic pressure to the hydraulic pressure supply passage through the pressure regulating passage. Accordingly, when an automatic transmission is in a D range and a vehicle is stopped, regardless of a line pressure, an N control process is performed to disengage the friction engagement element.

  • Patent number: 9581239
    Abstract: A variable capacity type oil pump, which is driven by an engine, supplies hydraulic pressure to a hydraulic control circuit of an automatic transmission. A range switch mechanism, which includes a motor as a motive power source, switches a shift range of the automatic transmission. Further, a switch operation mechanism, which switches a discharge amount of the oil pump, is driven by the motor of the range switch mechanism. In this case, an operative position of the switch operation mechanism is switched by the motor according to an input rotation speed of the oil pump, thereby switching the discharge amount of the oil pump. Accordingly, the motor of the range switch mechanism is used to drive the switch operation mechanism to switch the discharge amount of the oil pump, and thus a motive power source dedicated to changing the discharge amount of the oil pump is not needed.
