  • Patent number: 11984833
    Abstract: An electric vehicle control device includes a first inverter controlling a first group defined by induction motors, and a second inverter controlling a second group defined by induction motors. The first inverter and the induction motors of the first group are connected to each other by a first conductor. The second inverter and the induction motors of the second group are connected by a second conductor. A first length is equal to or less than three times the average value of a second length and a third length. The first length is an inter-center distance between the first conductor and the second conductor, the second length is the maximum length of a conductor portion of the first conductor in the cross section of the first conductor, and the third length is the maximum length of a conductor portion of the second conductor in the cross section of the second conductor.

  • Patent number: 8061284
    Abstract: The invention discloses an apparatus for easily stitching a stippling pattern, wherein the stippling pattern 20 is selected and the vertical and lateral lengths XY of an embroidering area 30 are designated. In response to the designation, a pattern number calculating device 4 is operated to calculate the number (integer) of the vertical and lateral lengths of the unit stippling pattern that may be arranged in the embroidering area 30 in alignment vertically and laterally, and then a magnification calculating device is operated to calculate the magnification of the unit stippling pattern respectively of the vertical and lateral lengths of the unit stippling pattern, the calculation being made on the basis of the calculated number of the vertical and lateral lengths of the unit stippling pattern and the size of the embroidering area 30 so that the size of whole pattern may be in accord with the size of the embroidering area 30.
