  • Patent number: 10989287
    Abstract: A power transmission device includes a first power transmission path that is provided between an engine and a driving wheel, and a second power transmission path that is provided between the engine and the driving wheel and that is provided in parallel with the first power transmission path. The first power transmission path includes a first clutch and a secondary clutch that is arranged on the driving wheel side with respect to the first clutch. The second power transmission path includes a continuously variable transmission and a second clutch. The secondary clutch is configured to make a changeover between a first mode and a second mode.

  • Publication number: 20200248783
    Abstract: A vehicle power transmission device includes: an input shaft; an output shaft; a first power transmission path configured to transmit power between the input shaft and the output shaft; and a second power transmission path configured to transmit power between the input shaft and the output shaft. The first power transmission path includes a mode-switching clutch configured to be switched between a one-way mode and a free mode, the one-way mode being a mode in which power acting in a forward rotation direction is transmitted while power acting in a reverse rotation direction is interrupted, and the free mode being a mode in which power acting in the forward rotation direction and power acting in the reverse rotation direction are interrupted. The second power transmission path includes a control clutch configured such that a torque capacity of the control clutch is controllable.

  • Publication number: 20100245538
    Abstract: The method of transmitting an indication of presence of a subject comprises the steps of detecting the presence of a subject in a first geographical area, transmitting an indication of presence of the subject to a remote system if the subject is present in the first geographical area, detecting the presence of a subject in a second geographical area, and transmitting realistic live images of the subject to the remote system if the subject is present in the second geographical area.

  • Patent number: 5440222
    Abstract: An excitation control apparatus for synchronous machine which coincides voltage/frequency ratio of a synchronous machine with a limited value without setting gains of an automatic voltage regulator considering the harmony between the automatic voltage regulator and voltage/frequency ratio limiter by means of adding the integrated output of a value corresponding to the deference between the limited value and obtained voltage/frequency ratio of the synchronous machine to a desired control value of the synchronous machine by the automatic voltage regulator.
