  • Patent number: 12233972
    Abstract: A control device for a vehicle includes a plurality of control circuits configured to control a control object by starting in response to powering-on of a vehicle and to perform power latch control for continuing to be supplied with electric power in a predetermined period in response to powering-off of the vehicle. Each of the control circuits is configured to perform starting after all of the control circuits have recognized the powering-on of the vehicle in a case where the vehicle is powered on while the power latch control is being performed after the vehicle has been powered off.

  • Patent number: 12224462
    Abstract: An electrolyte supply system for supplying an electrolyte to a use point, includes: a receiving storage tank configured to store the electrolyte that has been delivered; a supply storage tank to which the electrolyte is transferred from the receiving storage tank; a temperature control device configured to control temperatures of the electrolyte in the receiving storage tank and that in the supply storage tank; and a supply pipe that is laid from the supply storage tank to the use point. The electrolyte supply system is highly safe because the storage tanks are disposed in an outdoor location, and furthermore, performs a temperature control process for the receiving storage tank before the electrolyte is transferred to the supply storage tank. Thus, it can supply the electrolyte to the use point 24 hours a day even with little temperature control in the supply storage tank.

  • Patent number: 12055213
    Abstract: A clutch includes a clutch disk that rotates by receiving motive power from an engine and a clutch plate switched between an engaged state in which it is engaged with the clutch disk and a disengaged state in which it is not engaged with the clutch disk. A controller calculates a coefficient of friction ? between the clutch disk and the clutch plate based on a time period ?t elapsed from a first time point when the number of relative rotations of the clutch disk and the clutch plate attains to a first number of rotations to a second time point when a second number of rotations smaller than the first number of rotations is attained, in a state in which the clutch disk rotates while transfer of motive power from the engine to the clutch disk is cut off and in the engaged state.
