  • Publication number: 20240113510
    Abstract: A resin molded component includes a bus bar having conductivity, a conductive member including an insertion hole into which the bus bar is inserted along an axis line direction, a resin member covering the bus bar and insulating the bus bar and the conductive member, and a potting material charged into the insertion hole. The bus bar includes a bend terminal portion positioned at an end portion in the axis line direction, and bent along a terminal bend direction, and a bus bar crank portion positioned inside the insertion hole and extending along a crank direction intersecting with the axis line direction and the terminal bend direction. The resin member includes a resin crank portion positioned inside the insertion hole and covering and insulating the bus bar crank portion. The potting material covers a whole circumference of the resin crank portion when charged into the insertion hole.

  • Patent number: 11932118
    Abstract: The electric vehicle according to the present disclosure calculates motor torque using an MT vehicle model simulating an MT vehicle having a manual transmission and an internal combustion engine. In the first operation mode, an operation amount of a pseudo-clutch pedal and a shift position of a pseudo-gearshift are input to the MT vehicle model to reflect operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal and operation of the pseudo-gearshift in electric motor control. In the second operation mode where the operation of the pseudo-clutch pedal is not needed, an operation amount of a clutch pedal calculated by a driver model is input to the MT vehicle model instead of the operation amount of the pseudo-clutch pedal.

  • Patent number: 11926222
    Abstract: An electric vehicle is configured to be able to perform running by an MT mode that controls an electric motor with a torque characteristic like an MT vehicle having a manual transmission and an internal combustion engine, and running by an EV mode that controls the electric motor with a normal torque characteristic. The electric vehicle includes a mode changeover switch for switching to the running by the MT mode.

  • Patent number: 5671984
    Abstract: A protective member is disposed in a contracted state thereof within an exhibition case for an exhibition apparatus. When a larger shaking of the exhibition case than a predetermined level is detected by a detector, an actuation mechanism expands the protective member in response to the detection of shaking. The protective member thus expanded surrounds an exhibit.

  • Patent number: 4695539
    Abstract: A substrate in a sample can be determined quantitatively by measuring colorimetrically superoxide ion generated by treating the sample with a specific oxidase corresponding to the substrate to be determined, said oxidase treatment and measuring of the generated superoxide ion being conducted by using a reagent composition comprising (a) an oxidase, (b) peroxidase, (c) a phenol and/or an amine, (d) a thiol compound, (e) a color producing reagent to be reduced, and if necessary (f) a chelating agent.
