  • Patent number: 10518641
    Abstract: The control apparatus for a vehicle includes a determination unit that determines whether or not a start condition is established, the start condition including when a torque converter is in a lockup state, and when the vehicle is in an accelerating state; and a display control unit that causes an acting number of rotations to be displayed on a tachometer instead of an actual number of rotations when it is determined by the determination unit that the start condition is established. The display control unit calculates the acting number of rotations based on a target value of an input number of rotations of a continuously variable transmission, and varies the acting number of rotations with a rate of change having an absolute value that is greater than an absolute value of a rate of change of the actual number of rotations upon an abrupt change in the target value.

  • Patent number: 10131230
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a vehicle includes a determination unit that determines whether or not a start condition is established, the start condition including a torque converter is in a non-lock-up state and the vehicle is starting; and a display control unit that causes a virtual number of rotations to be displayed on a tachometer instead of an actual number of rotations when it is determined by the determination unit that the start condition is established. The display control unit calculates an acting number of rotations by referring to the actual number of rotations and a number of rotations on a driving wheel side relative to the torque converter in an automatic transmission, and causes the acting number of rotations to be displayed on the tachometer as the virtual number of rotations.

  • Patent number: 4569624
    Abstract: A linear transfer device for wafery works comprising: a work supporting means provided each in a work supplying station, one or more working stations and a work discharging station, which supports the works in erect positions in front thereof, the stations being linearly arranged with equal distances; a feeding means for axially feeding the work supporting means; a transfer bar capable of moving horizontally and vertically and holding means provided on the transfer bar which are adapted to face to the stations and have a pair of supporting grooves in order to support the work in an erect position, characterized in that the delivery or reception of the work supported by each work supporting means or each holding means can be made only by the vertical movement of the transfer bar relatively to each station and that the work supporting means can locate at the retreated positions in order to prevent from interfering with the holding means when the transfer bar is in movement.

  • Patent number: 4566841
    Abstract: Wafery works receiving or delivering device comprise a work supporting means having plural pairs of supporting grooves of a given pitch in order to support a column of wafery works; a transfer mechanism having the work supporting means mounted at the upper end thereof and reciprocatable between a stand-by position and a work receiving or delivering position; a pair of forks disposed in the region of the work receiving or delivering position and having supporting grooves of the same pitch as those of the work supporting means; a fork advancing mechanism such that for advancing the forks to the work receiving or delivering position such that the forks overlap the work supporting means and the supporting grooves thereof align with those of the work supporting means; and a mechanism which collectively hands over the works supported on the work supporting means or on the forks to the forks or the work supporting means by moving the work supporting means upward or downward relative to the forks.
