Abstract: A vehicle dispatch device includes a change information receipt unit, and a re-matching unit. The change information receipt unit receives change information that indicates that a customer without a reservation other than a customer with a reservation takes a taxi that is instructed to be dispatched to the customer with a reservation. The re-matching unit in a case where the change information is received by the change information receipt unit executes re-matching between the customer with a reservation and a taxi and executes notification of a vehicle dispatch instruction to a taxi that is based on a result of re-matching.

The method includes the steps of: measuring the wheel load of each wheel (1) (S13); calculating the displacement of each primary spring (2) based on the measured wheel load (S15); and calculating the track twist (h) of the track (R) based on the calculated displacements of the primary springs (2) (S18).

Abstract: A method for producing an aluminum-copper alloy from a lithium ion secondary battery includes supplying an aluminum source and a copper source derived from an aluminum-based positive electrode collector and a copper-based negative electrode collector, respectively, into a furnace, and melting the aluminum source and the copper source in a way that produces an alloy substantially free of a lithium component.

Abstract: A control system for a variable displacement pump driven by a drive source for driving a vehicle is provided. The variable displacement pump pressurizes hydraulic oil, and is switchable between a full capacity operation in which a discharge flow rate is maximized and a partial capacity operation in which the discharge flow rate is lower than that in the full capacity operation. It is determined whether an operation for starting the drive source has been performed. A rotational speed of the drive source and a temperature of the hydraulic oil are detected. When the rotational speed of the drive source is equal to or higher than a predetermined rotational speed and the hydraulic oil temperature is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature, immediately after the operation for starting the drive source is performed, the partial capacity operation of the variable displacement pump is performed.

When beginning of the start of a drive source for driving a vehicle has been detected, a first command oil pressure as a command value of a first control oil pressure supplied to a cylinder chamber of the drive pulley is set to a first predetermined oil pressure substantially equal to 0, and a second command oil pressure as a command value of a second control pressure supplied to a cylinder chamber of the driven pulley is set to a second predetermined oil pressure higher than the first predetermined oil pressure. When the detected second control oil pressure has reached a predetermined threshold value, it is determined that filling of the cylinder chamber of the driven pulley has been completed.

Abstract: The driving force can be transmitted at the time of both acceleration and deceleration in an engaged state where a first engagement face of a strut is forced to protrude inside a cutaway of a gear. The driving force is transmitted at the time of acceleration and the transmission of the driving force can be cut off at the time of deceleration in a one-way state where the first engagement face of the strut and the cutaway of the gear are made either to engage with or to disengage from each other in accordance with the rotational direction of the gear relative to the rotational shaft. The transmission of the driving force can be cut off at the time of both acceleration and deceleration in a disengaged state where the first engagement face of the strut is forced to withdraw from the cutaway of the gear. In addition, the decreasing of the transmission efficiency caused by friction between the strut and the gear can be prevented.

Abstract: Provided is a transmission in which gears of a first-speed to a seventh-speed shift stages are relatively rotatably supported on an outer circumference of a rotational shaft with clutch mechanisms. A desired shift stage is achieved by selectively engaging or disengaging the clutch mechanisms by moving, in an axial direction, the slide cam disposed inside the rotational shaft. While the slide cam is formed into a cylindrical shape, a cylinder, as an actuator, is disposed in a space inside the cylindrical slide cam. Oil chambers are formed inside the cylinder respectively to sandwich a piston therebetween. Oil pressure is supplied to the oil chambers to move the slide cam in the axial direction. The provided transmission with such a configuration has a smaller size than a transmission with the actuator disposed outside the slide cam.
