Patent number: 11085535Abstract: The control mode is switched between a first control mode configured to control the speed change pump based on an actual speed ratio being an actual speed ratio of the variator, and a second control mode configured to control the speed change pump based on an actual working pressure being an actual working pressure of the variator. In the first control mode, the actual speed ratio is calculated based on a detected value of a vehicle speed; and the speed change pump is controlled to cause the actual speed ratio to approach the target speed ratio. In the second control mode, the actual working pressure is detected and the speed change pump is controlled to cause the actual working pressure to approach a target working pressure corresponding to the target speed ratio. In a situation or a condition where the detection accuracy of the vehicle speed by the vehicle speed sensor decreases, the control mode is switched from the first control mode to the second control mode.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryohey Toyota, Tomoyuki Nakano, Yutaka Kaneko, Kazuhiko Tazoe, Kouichi Kotsuji

Patent number: 9720046Abstract: A battery state estimating device being one aspect of the present invention detects a current and a terminal voltage of a secondary battery, estimates a terminal voltage of the secondary battery which is based on a predetermined battery model by using measured values I(k) and V(k) respectively of the detected current and the detected terminal voltage, and sequentially identifies a parameter ?^(k) of the battery model in such a way that the difference between a value based on the measured value of the terminal voltage and an estimate value of the terminal voltage converges to zero. Then, when a certain parameter ?n in the identified parameter is equal to or larger than a predetermined first threshold ?1, the battery state estimating device performs upper limit processing of setting the value of the certain parameter ?n to the first threshold ?1.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2011Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Kazuhiko Tazoe, Hideo Nakamura, Shiho Umeki

Patent number: 7627412Abstract: In an automatic braking force control apparatus for a vehicle employing a deceleration feedback control system and an anti-skid control system executing, irrespective of a desired braking force for deceleration feedback control, an anti-skid cycle for preventing a wheel lock-up condition, the feedback control system calculates a desired braking force as a sum of a proportional-control signal component proportional to an error signal corresponding to a deviation from a desired deceleration, and an integral-control signal component corresponding to the integral of the error signal. The feedback control system memorizes the desired braking force, calculated just before an anti-skid cycle start time, as a memorized value, and initializes the desired braking force of an anti-skid cycle termination time to a predetermined value substantially corresponding to the memorized value for preventing a change in the desired deceleration occurring during the anti-skid cycle from being reflected in a feedback control signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2005Date of Patent: December 1, 2009Assignee: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jun Motosugi, Hiroyuki Ashizawa, Kazuhiko Tazoe
