  • Publication number: 20230203980
    Abstract: A cooling device for an internal combustion engine is provided. The cooling device includes a first passage connected to the internal combustion engine and circulating a coolant, a second passage connected to the internal combustion engine and circulating the coolant, a heat exchanger provided on the first passage and configured such that heat exchange is performed with respect to the coolant, a first pump provided on the first passage, a second pump provided on the second passage and an electronic control unit controlling the first pump and the second pump. The electronic control unit, when a temperature of the coolant is no lower than a predetermined temperature, drives the first pump such that a flow rate of the coolant in the first passage increases as compared to when the temperature of the coolant is lower than the predetermined temperature, and performs first control of stopping the second pump.

  • Patent number: 10196961
    Abstract: A device seating a valve body with the aid of an urging force of a spring by stopping the operation of a pump, changes over an energization state of a coil of at least one of the liquid shutoff valves which is changed over to the closed-valve state where the coil is energized, and then resumes the operation of the pump. Upon detecting the start of operation of the pump, a valve control unit causes a pump control unit to perform opening-closing force-feed control, where an amount of the cooling liquid force-fed by the pump is set to an amount within such a range that the valve body of the liquid shutoff valves whose coil is energized is not displaced in a valve-opening direction while the valve body of the liquid shutoff valves whose coil is not energized is displaced in the valve-opening direction.

  • Publication number: 20170037769
    Abstract: An engine cooling device includes: a water pump; a radiator; a first cooling water channel going through the radiator; a second cooling water channel not going through the radiator; a solenoid valve provided in the second cooling water channel; and a control unit. The control unit moves, at a time of closing the solenoid valve, a valve body in a valve closing direction while the cooling water is passing at a decreased flow rate so as to close the solenoid valve to cut off passage of the cooling water in the second cooling water channel.

  • Patent number: 7161600
    Abstract: An unprocessed cluster index and its amount of parallel movement are acquired. The order of processing clusters does not matter as long as the frame is the same. Subsequently, with respect to an unprocessed vertex corresponding to this acquired cluster index, a vertex index and the weight w of this vertex are obtained. Then, according to the amount of parallel movement and weight w in the same frame, the values of coordinates of the vertex buffer are changed. Since the cluster transformation is effected by parallel movement here, the order of processing clusters does not matter, and it is thereby possible to calculate the vertex coordinates after transformation by simple multiplication and addition alone without matrix operations.

  • Patent number: 6937240
    Abstract: In the present invention, for an unprocessed joint, a joint index and a joint rotation angle are obtained (S25, S27). For the unprocessed vertex corresponding to the obtained joint index, a vertex index and a weight w for the vertex are obtained. On the basis of the weight w and the rotation angle in the current frame, coordinate values of the vertex buffer are changed. A quarternion q1 according to the joint rotation angle in the current frame and a unit quarternion are sphere-linear interpolated with the weight w. From the resultant quarternion q, a conversion matrix R is determined for the joint. An overall conversion matrix M is obtained as M=RJTB, where a matrix T represents a relative coordinates from a parent joint, a matrix J represents a basic rotation angle, and B denotes a conversion matrix of the parent joint.
