Abstract: When a determination is made that a signal transmitted by a voltage sensor, a second voltage sensor, a current sensor, a temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor, a first CPU, a second CPU and a communication circuit is in error, a third CPU of a motor generator ECU determines that the control system is in error. When a determination is made that the control system is in error, the third CPU determines whether each of the voltage sensors, the current sensor, the temperature sensors, the first CPU, the second CPU and the communication circuit is in error or not.

Abstract: A visual communications system and a method of controlling the same for pausing the screens of two terminals at quite the same image. Video communications terminals receive the same channel in their respective broadcast program receiving units. A first video communications terminal temporarily stores the video of the received channel in the temporary storage memory. When a user pauses operation of the first terminal, it temporarily stores a screen pause time obtained by adding a predetermined time to the current time, and transmits a screen pause command and the screen pause time to a second video communications terminal. The second terminal pauses the video at the screen pause time if possible in time. Otherwise, it pauses the video immediately, and transmits a response with its own image pause time to the first terminal. The first terminal displays an image corresponding to the image pause time of the second terminal memory.

Abstract: A high-level ECU generates a torque command value T1 according to an output request to an electric motor. A low-level ECU calculates a torque command value T2 for correcting the original torque command value T1 according to the operational state of the electric motor and, according to a final torque command value Tf that is set by combining the torque command values T1 and T2, the electric motor is controlled. The high-level ECU receives from the low-level ECU the torque command value T2 and a motor state quantity transmitted thereto and, by a comparison between an actual torque value Tj determined from the motor state quantity and the final torque command value Tf determined with the torque command value T2 reflected thereto, abnormality in electric motor control is detected.

Abstract: A normal map determines a carrier frequency used for switching control of an inverter controlling driving of a motor generator, in accordance with the state of operation of the motor generator in a normal operation. In a stall state in which the driver is pressing both the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal, the switching frequency is determined using an element protection map, in place of the normal map. When the element protection map is used, in the state of operation corresponding to the stall state, the carrier frequency is set to a protection frequency lower than a normal frequency. Therefore, in an electric vehicle having an electric motor (motor generator) as a driving source for the vehicle, it becomes possible to avoid temperature increase of a power semiconductor device forming an electric power converter for controlling driving of the electric motor.
