Patent number: 7468016Abstract: In a property correcting system of an automatic transmission according to the present invention, a difference of revolutions between input revolutions Nin of a torque converter and turbine revolutions Nt is compared with target rotational difference ?N, and is increased/reduced by the feedback operation (S6 and S7). It is checked to see if the difference of revolutions is converged to the target rotational difference ?N (S8). When a driving duty duty which is converged to the target rotational difference ?N is within a shipping determining standard, the value is stored (S10). A differential value between the stored driving duties duty of the respective automatic transmissions and the reference value is written to a TCU, as the amount of correction of the respective automatic transmissions, thereby correcting the variation in properties of the individual automatic transmissions, starting from the initial shipping timing.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2004Date of Patent: December 23, 2008Assignee: Fuji Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasuyuki Miyake, Kouichi Inoue, Tokuju Kuji

Publication number: 20040064239Abstract: When vehicle behavior control systems such as VDC, TCS, ABS and the like are operative, a front-rear power distribution control apparatus for a four wheel drive vehicle can have an excellent convergence characteristic in vehicle behavior control by choosing a transfer clutch torque from a region of a predetermined table in which the power distribution control does not interfere with the behavior control of the vehicle behavior control system and by establishing the transfer clutch torque to a larger value with an increase of transfer input torque. When the vehicle is in an understeer or oversteer tendency, the convergence of vehicle behavior is further enhanced by correcting the transfer clutch torque in an increasing or decreasing direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2003Publication date: April 1, 2004Applicant: Fuji Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tatsunori Nagura, Kouichi Inoue, Ryo Nitta
