Publication number: 20240078383Abstract: A storage device stores failures and lessons. A processor accepts input of text serving as a question sentence in a multiple-choice quiz, computes an evaluation value for a consistency between the text and each of lessons stored in the storage device, and determines one lesson to serve as a correct option in the multiple-choice quiz and at least one lesson to serve as an incorrect option in the multiple-choice quiz, based on the evaluation value for each of the plurality of lessons computed in the computing operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: SHUICHI SUZUKI, KOHEI ANDO, MITSUGU KAMIZURU, MASAKI YOSHIKOSHI, AYAKA ASANO

Patent number: 11912133Abstract: A vehicle drive unit includes an internal combustion engine (21), an electromotive unit (23) having a first electric motor (31) and a second electric motor (33), an inverter (27) disposed above the electromotive unit, a first harness (41) that electrically connects the inverter and a first terminal block (61) of the first electric motor, and a second harness (42) that electrically connects the inverter and a second terminal block (62) of the second electric motor. The first electric motor and the second electric motor are disposed in a vehicle front-rear direction. Of the first electric motor and the second electric motor, one electric motor is disposed on the front side in the front-rear direction, and the other electric motor is disposed on the rear side in the front-rear direction. The other electric motor is offset upward in the up-down direction with respect to the one electric motor.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: MITSUBISHI JIDOSHA KOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Shoji Tanizawa, Shinsuke Horibe, Masaharu Yamagishi, Chika Takaba, Toshihiko Ando, Kohei Higashitani, Kenji Umemura

Patent number: 10630021Abstract: A waterproof connector includes a contact, a housing, a seal member, and a cover member. An inserted portion of the housing is inserted in an insertion hole of a wall portion of a device case. The inserted portion includes an annular surface disposed flush to or with a step provided with respect to a surface of the wall portion. The seal member includes an annular first seal portion, fitted in an annular groove formed in the annular surface, and a covering portion, extending orthogonally from the first seal portion toward the surface side of the wall portion. The covering portion spanningly covers a first gap, which is a gap between an outer peripheral surface of the inserted portion and an inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole. The cover member is fixed to the wall portion across the covering portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2019Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignees: J.S.T. MFG. CO., LTD., MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Makoto Shiraishi, Hiroshi Yamada, Naoya Hashii, Kohei Ando
