    Abstract: A sphygmomanometer includes a sensing cuff, and a back plate. The sensing cuff includes a first sheet extending in a circumferential direction of the site to be measured to cross an artery passing portion of the site to be measured, and a second sheet facing the first sheet. The sensing cuff has a bag shape formed by welding the first sheet and the second sheet. The back plate is disposed on the second sheet, extending along the circumferential direction of the site to be measured. A width direction dimension of the back plate measured in a width direction parallel to a direction in which the artery extends, is shorter than a width direction dimension of the sensing cuff, and is further shorter than an inner dimension between welding pools formed at end portions of an internal space of the sensing cuff.

  • Patent number: 10753466
    Abstract: In a transmission control device for controlling a transmission, a controller determines failure of a specific section. The controller variably controls line command pressure and secondary command pressure, and in a case where the failure is determined, fixes the line command pressure to a line pressure set value and the secondary command pressure to a secondary pressure set value. In a case where the failure is determined, the controller further starts a change in the secondary command pressure after start of a change in the line command pressure, and controls the secondary command pressure in such a manner that the secondary command pressure takes a first predetermined time to have the secondary pressure set value.

  • Patent number: 10677349
    Abstract: Pressure regulation valve control device has line pressure regulation valve (4) having line pressure solenoid (41) and line pressure spool valve (42) and CVT control unit (8) controlling secondary pressure (Psec) by actuating the line pressure spool valve (42) by solenoid pressure (Psol) produced by controlling current command value (I) to the line pressure solenoid (41). CVT control unit (8) has abnormality control unit (81). The abnormality control unit (81) is configured to, when decrease in secondary pressure (Psec) is detected during travel, execute, during travel, abnormality control that increases solenoid pressure (Psol), supplied to line pressure spool valve (42) from line pressure solenoid (41), more than solenoid pressure (Psol) of a time when the decrease in secondary pressure (Psec) is detected. With this, even when the decrease in the pressure is detected during travel, the decrease in the pressure is suppressed during travel while reducing influence on vehicle travel.
