  • Patent number: 10981524
    Abstract: Provided is an electric control unit which is configured to switch the functions of an LCC, an HSD, and an LSD depending on a load to be connected. A power-supply-side switching element 102 is provided in a path L1 between a power supply 401 and a connector terminal 301. A ground-side switching element 106 is provided in a path L2 between a ground 402 and a connector terminal 302. A freewheeling diode 105 is provided in a path L3 connected to a connection point P1 between the power-supply-side switching element 102 and the connector terminal 301 and a connection point P2 between the ground-side switching element 106 and the connector terminal 302. A switching element 104 is provided in the path L3.

  • Patent number: 8512198
    Abstract: An automatic transmission includes: a first planetary gearset including a first sun gear, a first ring gear, and a first pinion carrier; a second planetary gearset including a second sun gear, a second ring gear, and a second pinion carrier; an input shaft constantly coupled to the first sun gear; an output shaft constantly coupled to the second pinion carrier; a first rotary member constantly connecting the first ring gear and the second sun gear; a first friction element selectively connecting the first sun gear and the second ring gear; a second friction element selectively connecting the first pinion carrier and the second ring gear; a third friction element selectively interrupting a rotation of the first pinion carrier; and a fourth friction element selectively interrupting a rotation of the first rotary member, the automatic transmission attaining first to fourth forward speeds and one reverse speed.
