  • Patent number: 9170118
    Abstract: A navigation system for an electric vehicle includes a telematics center, a display terminal, and a charging station. In response to a request from the display terminal, the telematics center sends a route search result, which is created based on information on an electric vehicle and the charging station and which includes base point information whose remaining battery capacity is to be confirmed, to the display terminal. The display terminal displays route guidance information, the current position, and a result of comparison between the current remaining battery capacity and the base point information to the user who is driving the electric vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20150303765
    Abstract: In an alternator for a vehicle according to the present invention, each of rear-side ribs defining each of rear-side exhaust holes includes a projecting portion that has a three-sided sectional shape obtained by cutting along a vertical direction relative to a center axis line of a shaft at least in a portion away from respective end portions of stator coils, and has an apex oriented toward a cooling fan. The apex is oriented in a direction opposite to a rotating direction of the cooling fan. Therefore, the amount of air generated by the cooling fan is increased to improve cooling performance for a stator.

  • Publication number: 20130238162
    Abstract: A storage part stores beforehand, as an energy consumption graph, amounts of energy consumed by a vehicle traveling in both directions along road links on a map. A processing part traces a road link from a specified start point location peripherally, calculates, for each road node, a first and second integration values obtained by integrating amounts of energy in a direction moving away from the start point location on the energy consumption graph and in a direction moving toward the start point location on the energy consumption graph, and based on a relationship between the sum of the first integration value and the second integration value, and a given specified amount of energy for each road node, decides a round-trip driving range which is a range within which the vehicle is able to return to the start point location by using the specified amount of energy.

  • Publication number: 20120161692
    Abstract: In a charging control system, electrically-driven vehicles whose charging levels are lower than such a charging level required to drive these electrically-driven vehicles over a necessary minimum drivable distance are charged with a priority, and such an electrically-driven vehicle whose charging level quickly reaches the above-explained charging level among these electrically-driven vehicles is charged with a top priority. Also, in the charging control system, an order for dynamically charging vehicle-purpose batteries is rearranged by monitoring a change in charging environments, for instance, an electrically-driven vehicle is newly coupled to a charger in a half way; a commonly available electric power amount is increased by solar power generation etc.; and a supplyable electric power amount (W) is lowered due to utilization of electricity by a subject other than electrically-driven vehicles.

  • Patent number: 6731621
    Abstract: A plurality of packet gate ways (PGWS) are connected between a mobile communication system and an internet so that the corresponding IP subnetworks to those PGWs may be built. A visitor location register (VLR) operates to notify the PGW of location information of the mobile station (MS) and an IP address of a data terminal connected with the MS. If the notified IP address belongs to another IP subnetwork, the PGW notifies the corresponding PGW to that IP subnetwork of a fact that the local PGW is a destination. The PGW operates to manage the location information of the MS connected with the data terminal based on the notified content and perform the packet routing based on the managed content.
