Abstract: A control system for a vehicle configured to suppress vibrations and shocks when releasing a parking lock mechanism in a situation where a drive shaft is twisted. The control system is configured to: control the motor to start generation of a torque counteracting an estimated torsional torque acting on the driver shaft whose magnitude is equal to the estimated torsional torque or smaller, when the rotary member being locked by the parking lock mechanism is predicted to be released; and terminate the torque generation by the motor when the motor generating the torque starts rotating.

Abstract: A control system for a vehicle configured not to generate vibrations and shocks by a torque of a motor counteracting a torsion of a drive shaft locked to park the vehicle. The control system to controls a motor to generate an assist torque counteracting a torsional torque acting on a drive shaft, in a situation where: an inclination angle of the vehicle in the pitching direction at the point when the drive shaft was locked is equal to or greater than the first predetermined angle; torsion of the drive shaft is determined; and an inclination angle of the vehicle in the pitching direction at the point when the drive shaft is released is equal to or greater than the second predetermined angle.

Abstract: A control system for a vehicle configured to suppress vibrations and shocks when releasing a parking lock mechanism in a situation where a drive shaft is twisted. The vehicle comprises: a drive shaft in which one end thereof is joined to a wheel; a motor that applies a torque to the drive shaft; and a parking lock mechanism that selectively stops a rotation of a rotary member arranged between the motor and the drive shaft. The control system is configured to control the motor to generate a torque determined based on the inclination direction of the vehicle in the pitching direction when releasing the rotary member locked by the parking lock mechanism.

Abstract: A heating system configured to efficiently raise a temperature of an electric storage device before charging while avoiding a wasteful power consumption. The heating system comprises: an integrator that calculates an integrated value of power consumed by an electric heater to raise a temperature of a battery; a power consumption determiner that compares the integrated value of the power consumption with a reference value; and a heating controller that terminates the heating of the battery when the integrated value of the power consumption is the reference value or greater, and permits the heating of the battery when the integrated value of the power consumption is less than the reference value.

Abstract: To improve operability it is desireable to decrease the size of an impact tool. The impact tool includes a motor, a spindle including a spindle shaft and a flange. An anvil of the tool includes an anvil shaft and an anvil projection. A hammer of the tool includes a base surrounding the spindle shaft, a front ring protruding frontward from an outer circumference of the base, and a hammer projection to strike the anvil projection in a rotation direction. The base has a groove at a boundary with the hammer projection. One of ordinary skill in the art would appreciate that the arrangement disclosed herein results in space savings that allows for overall decrease in the size of an impact too.
