  • Patent number: 10144283
    Abstract: A cylindrical ring gear has first external teeth and a support portion in an axial direction of the cylindrical ring gear. An output shaft extends through the cylindrical ring gear and is supported to rotate concentrically with the cylindrical ring gear. A disconnect mechanism is configured to connect or disconnect an inner periphery of the cylindrical ring gear to an outer periphery of the output shaft based on a moved position of the movable engagement member. An actuator is disposed such that the first external teeth are located between the support portion and the actuator. The actuator is configured to move the movable engagement member between a connection position and a disconnection position. The cylindrical ring gear is coupled to the output shaft so as to be relatively non-rotatable in the connection position. Relative rotation between the cylindrical ring gear and the output shaft is allowed in the disconnection position.

  • Publication number: 20180247505
    Abstract: A camera transmits a captured image of a surveillance area to a server. A microphone receives a sound of the surveillance area and transmits the sound to the server. The server detects a warning sound starting based on a harming behavior on a vehicle in a surveillance area and arriving from the vehicle using the sound of the surveillance area, determines an occurrence position of the harming behavior based on the detection of the warning sound, acquires a captured image of the occurrence position, determines the vehicle on which the harming behavior is executed using the captured image of the occurrence position, acquires information regarding the vehicle, and records the information regarding the vehicle and the captured image of the occurrence position in association with each other in an accumulator.

  • Publication number: 20180208057
    Abstract: Since a gap is formed between a cylindrical member of a second clutch and a differential case so that the differential case is movable relative to the cylindrical member in a rotation-axis-C direction, even if a position of the second clutch relative to a differential carrier is moved by a position adjusting shim, the differential case does not move in the rotation-axis-C direction due to the gap in conjunction with the movement of the position of the second clutch, that is, in conjunction with a movement of a position of the cylindrical member. Accordingly, it possible to largely reduce the number of managing components prepared to eliminate backlash of the rotational member such as the differential case, as compared to the related art.

  • Publication number: 20180184051
    Abstract: A plurality of fixed cameras installed in a driving area on a highway and a server device are connected via a network NW. The server device displays the captured images of the fixed cameras on the fixed camera monitor and requests camera position information and zooming position information to respective fixed cameras in response to occurrence of a traffic accident or the like in the driving area. In response to this request, the fixed cameras transmit the camera position information and the zooming position information to the server device. Based on camera position information and zooming position information, the server device derives the occurrence position of a traffic accident or the like, instructs a predetermined drone to capture the image around the occurrence position such as a traffic accident, and displays the captured image transmitted from the drone on a drone monitor.

  • Patent number: 9925870
    Abstract: A four-wheel-drive vehicle includes a driving source, main driving wheels, auxiliary driving wheels, a power transmitting member, a first mesh clutch, and a second mesh clutch. Meshing teeth on the driving source side of the first mesh clutch each have, along an entire tooth width thereof, an inclined surface in which a length in a rotational axis direction increases in a direction in which the meshing teeth on the driving source side rotate when the four-wheel-drive vehicle is traveling forward. The meshing teeth on the power transmitting member side of the first mesh clutch each have, along an entire tooth width thereof, an inclined surface in which a length in a rotational axis direction decreases in a direction in which the meshing teeth on the driving source side rotate when the four-wheel-drive vehicle is traveling forward.

  • Patent number: 9849777
    Abstract: By driving a first electromagnetic solenoid and a second electromagnetic solenoid, if first cams of a first thrust force amplification mechanism and a second thrust force amplification mechanism are connected to non-rotary members, since second cams are rotated at rotating speeds that are proportional to a vehicle speed V, the relative rotations between the first cam and the second cam increase. Therefore, the first thrust force amplification mechanism and the second thrust force amplification mechanism can be actuated quickly, to thereby switch connection/disconnection states of the first connection/disconnection mechanism and the second connection/disconnection mechanism quickly.
