  • Patent number: 9438160
    Abstract: A motor drive apparatus includes multiple inverter circuits provided corresponding, respectively, to multiple motors, a controller configured to control the inverter circuits using switching signals, a detector configured to detect a current ripple generated by switching operations of the inverter circuits. The controller operates in a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, carrier wave frequencies of reference carrier waves used to generate the switching signals for all the motors are set to the same basic frequency. In the second mode, the carrier frequency of the motor having a higher priority is set to the basic frequency, and the carrier frequency of the motor having a lower priority is set to a preset shift frequency. When the current ripple is not less than a predetermined value, a transition occurs from the first mode to the second mode.

  • Patent number: 9234577
    Abstract: A hydraulic pressure control apparatus includes a first pressure regulating valve for reducing an initial oil pressure of a working oil introduced from an inlet port, a solenoid-operated valve, and a second pressure regulating valve for converting the initial oil pressure of the working oil into an actuating pressure. The three valves share a single body. A joining boss and a relief valve, which is operable to release the working oil out of a passage in the body when the pressure of the working oil in the passage becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value, are arranged on a closed end face of the body. The joining boss and the relief valve have respective upper surfaces that are covered by a cover.
