  • Patent number: 11942184
    Abstract: A programmable logic circuit includes multiple logic blocks that are connected communicatively, wherein multiple modules are reconfigured in any of the logic blocks, and wherein the modules include a first module that is being executed and a second module that is not being executed, and start of execution of the second module is delayed from a start time point of execution of the first module so as to obtain a state in which a first time at which the first module accesses a memory does not overlap a second time at which the second module accesses the memory.

  • Patent number: 10724630
    Abstract: In a control apparatus for an automatic transmission, in a drive train, a driving source and the automatic transmission having a plurality of gear-shift stages including the gear-shift stages at each of which a one way clutch is engaged during a drive are equipped, a gear-shift line correction by such coast correction lines as to provide such gear-shift line shapes projecting toward a lower vehicle speed side in a small accelerator opening area is added to up-shift lines of the gear-shift stages at each of which the one way clutch participates from among the gear-shift lines after the correction by vehicle speed correction lines.

  • Patent number: 10641386
    Abstract: In an automatic transmission control device of the invention configured to start an increase in engagement pressure of a start-up engagement element, when a determination threshold value for determining that a turbine rotational speed has reduced is reached or exceeded, the determination threshold value when a selection operation from a non-traveling range to a traveling range is made before a prescribed period of time from starting of an engine has elapsed, is increased and set greater than the determination threshold value when the selection operation is made after the prescribed period of time has elapsed. Accordingly, a reduction in the turbine rotational speed can be accurately determined, and thus it is possible to suppress torque fluctuations, occurring owing to engagement of a second brake, which is the start-up engagement element.
