Abstract: A hybrid vehicle driving system includes: a generator; a motor; a case which accommodates the generator and the motor; and a power control unit for controlling the generator and the motor, the generator and the motor being disposed side by side on a same axis within the case. The power control unit is mounted on the case by connecting a unit-side generator connector and a unit-side motor connector which are provided on a bottom surface of the power control unit with a case-side generator connector and a case-side motor connector which are disposed on the case, directly and respectively. The case is fixed to a vehicle framework member via a mount member, and a fixing point where the case and the mount member are fixed together is disposed near the case-side generator connector and the case-side motor connector.

Abstract: A formation method of a metallic electrode of a semiconductor device is disclosed. The method includes: acquiring data about surface shape of a surface part of a semiconductor substrate; and causing a deformation device to deform the semiconductor substrate based on the data so that a distance between a cutting plane and the surface part falls within a required accuracy in cutting amount. In deforming the semiconductor substrate, multiple actuators are used as the deformation device. A pitch of the multiple actuators is set to a value that is greater than one-half of wavelength of spatial frequency of a thickness distribution of the semiconductor substrate and that is less than or equal to the wavelength.
