The hybrid vehicle includes: a state detector that detects a charge state of the capacitor; and a controller that controls the power unit. The controller controls the output of the power engine, based on a remaining capacity of the capacitor when driving the power engine in order to start the hybrid vehicle. Accordingly, it is possible to achieve reduction in the size and cost of the power unit and enhance the driving efficiency of the power unit.

  • Patent number: 7932657
    Abstract: A rotor body for an electric motor is comprised of connecting outer peripheral portions of first and second flange members made of electrically conductive material to the opposite ends of a plurality of connection members made of electrically conductive material of weak magnetic material arranged at predetermined distances therebetween in the circumferential direction with bolts and by supporting induction magnetic poles made of soft magnetic material between the connection members which are adjacent in the circumferential direction. Coupling portions of the first and second flange members and the connection member are electrically insulated by insulation coating so that an eddy current flowing in a closed circuit comprised of the first flange member, the connection member, the second flange member and the other connection member can be reduced and heat dissipation and energy loss accompanied by the eddy current can be minimized at the time of an operation.

  • Publication number: 20100289365
    Abstract: An electric motor (M) includes first and second stators (12L, 12R) on the outside forming a rotating magnetic field, an outer rotor (13) disposed inside the first and second stators (12L, 12R) and having first and second induced magnetic poles (38L, 38R), and an inner rotor (14) disposed inside the outer rotor (13) and having first and second permanent magnet (52L, 52R). The phases of the first and second induced magnetic poles (38L, 38R) of the outer rotor (13) are displaced from each other by only half of a predetermined pitch, and the phases of the first and second permanent magnets (52L, 52R) of the inner rotor (14) are displaced from each other by only the predetermined pitch. Accordingly, the first and second stators (12L, 12R) facing the first induced magnetic poles (38L) and the second induced magnetic pole (38R) can be made to have the same phase and polarity, thus simplifying the structures of the first and second stators (12L, 12R).

  • Publication number: 20080238232
    Abstract: A motor includes a stator having first and second armatures to form a rotating magnetic field, an inner rotor having first and second permanent magnets, and an outer rotor arranged between the stator and the inner rotor. The outer rotor has a rotor body which supports first and second induction magnetic poles such that they are embedded therein. A phase of the first induction magnetic pole is matched with a phase of the second induction magnetic pole. The first and second induction magnetic poles are assembled to the rotor body such that they are inserted into linear slits formed in the rotor body in the axis direction. Because the first and second induction magnetic poles are aligned in the axis direction, the outer rotor has a simple structure and an increased strength, and also support and assembling of the first and second induction magnetic poles in the outer rotor are facilitated.

  • Publication number: 20080214557
    Abstract: There exists a strong desire both for pharmaceutical compositions which rapidly exhibit pharmacological effects without an increase in the size of the dosage form or a decline in quality due to interactions between a pharmaceutically active ingredient and the disintegrant, and also for a method of preparing such pharmaceutical compositions. Such a desire is especially acute with regard to, for example, preparations which contain a drug such as an analgesic or a quick-acting hypoglycemic drug that requires the rapid appearance of pharmacological effects following administration, preparations which have a high content of the pharmaceutically active ingredient, and preparations which contain two or more different pharmaceutically active ingredients.
