  • Patent number: 11235773
    Abstract: An electronic control unit engages two of friction engagement elements provided in an automatic transmission in a neutral range. The electronic control unit disengages one of the two friction engagement elements engaged in the neutral range at the time of starting gear stage switching of an auxiliary transmission from a low-speed gear stage to a high-speed gear stage in the neutral range, and re-engages the friction engagement element that has been disengaged when determining that the gear stage switching has been completed.

  • Patent number: 10975963
    Abstract: Torque reduction control is executed for temporarily reducing a torque capacity of a reaction engagement device during a transition of a shift. The reaction engagement device is maintained in an engaged state from before the shift to after the shift such that a predetermined rotating element in an automatic transmission bears a reaction caused by progress of the shift resulting from a change of an engaging-side engagement device into an engaged state. Therefore, without delaying a change of the engaging-side engagement device into the engaged state, transmission of torque that is generated as a result of rattling during a transition of a shift is reduced. Thus, in shift control over the automatic transmission, shock at the time of rattling is reduced while a stop of a shift due to a delay in change of the engaging-side engagement device into the engaged state is prevented.

  • Publication number: 20130041578
    Abstract: Provided is a vehicle-mounted device, which can reduce the amount of data of the positional information of other vehicles captured by a communication device, and also provided are a vehicle-mounted communication device and a vehicle-mounted information processor, which are used in the vehicle-mounted device. The vehicle-mounted device discerns a positional relationship, which is formed on the basis of map information, with an object captured by a communication device. The positional relationship is discerned by means of an information processor, which processes positional information of the object as required. The communication device is provided with a coordinate conversion unit, which converts the positional information of the captured object into coordinate information of a coordinate system that is set at a limited resolution with respect to the map information, and the communication device transfers to the information processor the coordinate information produced by the conversion.
