Patents by Inventor Mitsukazu Tasaka

Mitsukazu Tasaka has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10427688
    Abstract: A control system of a vehicle is provided, which includes an automatic transmission, a brake controller, and a processor configured to execute a neutral idle controlling module, a hydraulic pressure calculating module, a hydraulic pressure controlling module to calculate a target value of hydraulic pressure supplied to a frictional engageable element according to a given parameter, and a brake hold controlling module. The calculating module includes a first calculating submodule executed to calculate the target value in a period from an issuance of a vehicle start request when a neutral idle control is executed and a brake hold control is not executed in a vehicle stopped state until the frictional engageable element is engaged, and a second calculating submodule executed to calculate the target value so that a calculated value is lower than in the first calculation when the value of the parameter is the same.

  • Patent number: 5876305
    Abstract: An automatic transmission control system, which includes a 2-4 brake having a servo apply fluid chamber and a servo release fluid chamber and a 3-4 clutch having a fluid chamber and causes a 3-2 shift by engaging the 2-4 brake and disengaging the 3-4 clutch, controls engaging pressure for the 3-4 clutch by way of controlling servo apply pressure for the 2-4 brake to disengage the 3-4 brake so as thereby to increase turbine speed during the 3-2 gear shift and, at near the end of the 3-2 gear shift, brings the 2-4 brake into engagement. During control of disengagement of the 3-4 clutch, the pressure difference between servo apply pressure and servo release pressure is changed to become greater at the beginning of the gear shift.

  • Patent number: 5816950
    Abstract: An automatic transmission control system including a hydraulic pressure control circuit which supplied locking and unlocking pressure to selectively lock and unlock the selected friction coupling elements so as to change a torque transmission path in the transmission gear mechanism and thereby to provide desired gears, a specific one of which is achieved by locking and unlocking simultaneously specific friction coupling elements.
