Publication number: 20240084753Abstract: A control device and method controls a vehicle having an internal combustion engine connected to an automatic transmission via a torque converter with a lockup device. The torque of the internal combustion engine is limited the by a torque limit value based on a speed difference between an input rotational speed and an output rotational speed of the torque converter during acceleration in a non-lockup state. The torque-limiting of the internal combustion engine is prohibited torque-limiting upon a prescribed condition being met. The prescribed condition is met by a heating request, during hill climbing/towing, during travel at high vehicle speeds, when the accelerator pedal opening angle exceeds or is equal to a prescribed opening angle, when the torque limit value is greater than a target torque, in a range other than a D range, or in a mode other than normal mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2021Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Tetsuya NISHIYAMA, Daigo KISHI, Tatsuo NAKANO, Seiichirou TAKAHASHI, Koji SAITO, Yukiyoshi INUTA, Takao ARIMATSU, Yasuhiro ENDO

Patent number: 7738499Abstract: An audio/video synchronizing system and a monitor apparatus can provide a set of contents where the images and the sounds of the contents show lip synchronization to the user so that the user may not have any strange and uneasy feeling if only the images are transmitted wirelessly. A contents server outputs sounds of a set of contents at a timing delayed by an initial delay time (1 second) that is greater than the transmission delay time according to the PTS and the DTS defined by the contents server by taking the largest transmission delay into consideration. The monitor corrects the time base of the STC added to the video packets according to the transmission delay time and subsequently outputs the images according to the SCR, the time base of which is corrected, and the PTS and the DTS, for which the initial delay time is defined.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2005Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Mamoru Kugumiya, Koji Nagata, Akira Sakamoto, Takao Takahashi

Patent number: 7295756Abstract: By reducing the number of seek operations in an operation to play back a signal from a recording medium, the amount of data temporarily stored in a read buffer memory employed in a signal recording/playback apparatus is large enough to be output as a playback signal during a seek operation, allowing a continuous playback operation to be carried out. In order to reduce the number of seek operations, a signal is always recorded onto the recording medium in continuous free areas each having a size equal to or larger than a predetermined recording/playback time length which is typically set at 1 minute. If it is necessary to insert an additional signal having a length smaller than the predetermined recording/playback time length into a point of insertion in an area already occupied by an existing signal, a continuous free area with a size equal to or larger than the predetermined recording/playback time length is newly allocated to the additional signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2005Date of Patent: November 13, 2007Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Takao Takahashi, Masashi Ohta, Toshiya Akiba, Masami Tomita, Taro Suito
