Abstract: A rotating electric machine includes a rotor rotatably supported and also including a magnet portion; a stator including a stator winding; and a plunger configured to displace the rotor and the stator relative to one another along an axial direction of the rotating electric machine. The stator includes a slotless structure in which at least one of no magnetic teeth and slot is provided. Thus, an attracting force acting between the magnet portion and the stator is weakened, thereby the rotor and the stator are easily displaceable relative to each other by the plunger.

Abstract: A control apparatus is applied to a vehicle including (i) a rotating electrical machine and (ii) a wheel speed sensor detecting a wheel speed. The control apparatus sets a rotation angle of the rotating electrical machine based on an estimated value of the rotation angle which is estimated based on a detection value of the wheel speed sensor.

Abstract: In a charging control apparatus, a supply power requestor requests an external power source to output supply power having a constant voltage and a constant current. A voltage conversion instructor instructs a voltage conversion device to perform voltage conversion of the supply power from the external power source such that converted supply power has a charging voltage and a charging current that are respectively within allowable charging-voltage range and allowable charging-current range. The voltage conversion instructor instructs the voltage conversion device to output the converted supply power to the power storage to thereby charge the power storage.
