Abstract: A control apparatus of a hybrid vehicle which, when a travel mode is switched from a second mode (EV mode) to a first mode (series mode), can warm an exhaust purification catalyst appropriately to suppress deterioration of an exhaust gas, is provided. The control apparatus comprises selection means 32 which selects the first mode as a travel mode of a vehicle 10, if a required output is equal to or higher than a determination threshold value, or selects the second mode, if the required output is lower than the determination threshold value; and threshold value changing means 33 which lowers the determination threshold value, if the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst is lower than a predetermined temperature.

Abstract: A control apparatus of a hybrid vehicle which, when a travel mode is switched from an EV mode (second mode) to a series mode (first mode), can warm an exhaust purification catalyst appropriately to suppress deterioration of an exhaust gas, is provided, and configured as follows: If the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst is equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature, the first mode (series mode) is selected when a required output is equal to or higher than a first determination threshold value; or the second mode (EV mode) is selected when the required output is lower than the first determination threshold value.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus includes a conductive paste, which connects a connection pad in a TFT array substrate and a transparent conductive film in a color filter substrate, and a ridge which is disposed adjacent to a conductive paste in a surrounding region of the TFT array substrate. A sealing member located between the color filter substrate and the TFT array substrate convexly extends in a direction from a display region to a surrounding region to form the ridge.

Abstract: An engine controller includes: a warm-up control unit that performs warm-up operation for letting the engine continuously operate until an integration value of air intake of the engine comes to a predetermined integration value in order to warm up a catalyst provided in an exhaust system when the engine is first started after start-up of the vehicle; and a continuation control unit that lets the engine continuously operate for a predetermined period subsequent to an end of the warm-up operation. The continuation control unit takes an output value of the engine as a request output value when the request output value of the engine is a predetermined idling output value or more that is smaller than the predetermined warm-up output value and takes the output value as the warm-up output value when the request output value is less than the predetermined idling output value.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display panel includes: two substrates, whose inner surfaces are formed with a display region, which are arranged to face each other and at least one of which is transparent; a liquid crystal material, which is sandwiched between the display region of the two substrates; a columnar spacer, which is formed on the inner surface of the substrate and on the outer periphery of the display region and maintains a gap between the two substrates; a first annular seal frame, which is continuously formed on the inner periphery of the columnar spacer and on the outer periphery of the display region; and a second annular seal frame, which is continuously formed on the outer periphery of the columnar spacer.

Abstract: An I/o control gate array, a power supply controller, an EEPROM of a battery pack, a DS (docking station) controller, and an EEPROM of a docking station are connected to an I.sup.2 C serial BUS. This I.sup.2 C serial BUS and an ISA bus are connected by the I/O control gate array. The I/O control gate array incorporates a master control logic. Master arbitration between the power supply controller and the DS controller connected to the I.sup.2 C BUS is intensively controlled by arbitration circuitry of the I/O control gate array by using REQ# and GNT# lines of these masters.
