Patent number: 8549349Abstract: This storage controller includes a port unit and multiple processing units for inputting and outputting data to and from a storage apparatus. The port unit sorts the data I/O requests given from a host system to the corresponding processing units according to a table pre-defining the storage apparatus or a storage area in the storage apparatus to perform data I/O processing allocated to each of the processing units. The processing unit inputs data in the corresponding storage apparatus or the corresponding storage area according to the data I/O request sorted to itself from the port unit and, upon detecting a blockage of the other processing unit due to a failure, updates the table retained in each of the port units so as to sort the storage apparatuses or the storage areas allocated to the other processing unit to the remaining unblocked processing units.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2011Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Atsushi Yuhara, Masao Nakano, Takao Sato, Kazunobu Ohashi, Takahiko Takeda

Patent number: 8359940Abstract: In a twin-clutch transmission, when a third shift valve (for example) goes out of order and the shift change accordingly becomes incapable of being carried out, the hydraulic pressure outputted from the third shift valve is controlled by a fourth shift valve operated by a first shift solenoid for a first shift valve. Accordingly, the hydraulic pressure outputted by a second linear solenoid is supplied to one of second hydraulic actuators, thereby enabling one of second predetermined transmission gear stages to be pre-shifted by use of a second power transmission path. When the first shift valve is used as a fail-safe, it is possible for the vehicle to make a minimum necessary run by setting up one of the second predetermined transmission gear stages. Furthermore, the fourth shift valve is driven by use of the existing first shift solenoid, thus minimizing the number of parts and cost.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2010Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventor: Takao Sato
