Abstract: An example contactor weld detection method for an electric vehicle includes detecting that a contactor is welded closed when the contactor is commanded closed.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle high voltage bus is connected to a power source by a circuit having a main contactor and a precharge contactor. To energize the bus, the precharge contactor is closed and then the main contactor is closed. Upon completion of precharging, the main contactor is opened and energization of the bus is complete.

Abstract: An example contactor weld detection method for an electric vehicle includes detecting that a contactor is welded closed when the contactor is commanded closed.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for supplying a liquid and controlling its level inside of a container. In particular, the liquid inside of the container may be a liquid material suitable for use in a chemical vapor deposition process, wherein the liquid is controlled and supplied in a manner which minimizes the introduction of impurities.

Abstract: The objective is to provide an image synthesis method, games machine, and information storage medium which make it easy for a player to learn operating sequences that cause a game character to perform various different actions. If a training mode in which a player can practice manipulations is selected and an attack of a game character 30 hits another game character 32, a hit mark 34 is displayed at the hit location. In addition, a replay image is displayed if a replay creation condition is satisfied or if the player has performed a given manipulation. To enable the player to practice counterattacking, a game character manipulated by the computer initiates attacks at a constant timing.

Abstract: The objective of this invention is to provide an image synthesis method, sound synthesis method, games machine and information storage medium for making it easy to learn a complicated operating sequence from a game controller. This system determines whether an input sequence by which operating buttons are pressed in sequence matches a standard sequence that is specified by standard operations (41) to (51). If the input sequence matches, a matching identification symbol lights up. When an operating button is pressed, an identification sound that identifies the press operating button is output. The player can perceive the operations to be input and the operations that the player has input from these identification symbols and sounds. This makes it easy to acquire special techniques used in a fighting game. Outputting identification symbols and sounds in this manner is particularly effective in a training mode.
