  • Patent number: 11926312
    Abstract: In a case where a predetermined switching operation to a state in which a traveling position is selected from a state in which another shift position of a mechanical transmission device is selected is performed by a driver, a quick engagement command to quickly engage a predetermined engagement device is performed in a state in which output of a predetermined torque is stopped, and then a rapid garage control of increasing a rotation speed of an electric motor at a rotation speed equal to or higher than a predetermined rotation speed is executed. The rapid garage control is executed in a case where a predetermined start condition is established.

  • Publication number: 20240044796
    Abstract: A determination device includes an irradiator, an extractor, an imager, and a determiner, The irradiator irradiates an object including a food or a plant with a light. The extractor extracts a predetermined fluorescence emission having a predetermined wavelength out of fluorescence emissions generated from a surface of the object irradiated with the light. The imager captures a fluorescence image indicating the predetermined fluorescence emission. The determiner determines a state of the object based on an index indicating a fluorescence intensity of the fluorescence image.
