Abstract: A motor control device includes a driving control part and an upper limit value setting part. The driving control part controls motor driving by switching between a first driving mode and a second driving mode, and controls an output duty ratio so as not to exceed a duty ratio upper limit value. The upper limit value setting part sets, as the duty ratio upper limit value, a low rotation duty ratio upper limit value, a maximum duty ratio upper limit value corresponding to a maximum output value, and an upper limit value of a transition period from the low rotation duty ratio upper limit value to the maximum duty ratio upper limit value, and changes slope information indicating a change amount in the upper limit value of the transition period according to the driving mode when switching between the first driving mode and the second driving mode.

Abstract: A motor control device which controls a motor having an output shaft includes a vehicle speed detection part and a driving control part. The vehicle speed detection part detects a vehicle speed, which is a traveling speed of a vehicle mounted with the motor. Based on the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detection part, the driving control part performs control of switching between a first driving mode which drives the motor, and a second driving mode in which a number of revolutions of the output shaft and an output of the motor are higher than in the first driving mode.

Abstract: Provided are a spinning apparatus capable of stably spinning fibers having a small fiber diameter with a high productivity, an apparatus comprising the same for manufacturing a nonwoven fabric, a process for manufacturing a nonwoven fabric using the nonwoven fabric manufacturing apparatus, and a nonwoven fabric produced by the process. The spinning apparatus of the present invention comprises one or more exits for extruding liquid, which are capable of extruding a spinning liquid, and one or more exits for ejecting gas, which extend linearly and are located upstream of each of the exits for extruding liquid and which are capable of ejecting a gas, wherein a shearing force by the gas and its accompanying airstream can be single-linearly exerted on the spinning liquid extruded. The apparatus of the present invention for manufacturing a nonwoven fabric comprises a fibers collection means as well as the spinning apparatus.
