Publication number: 20160059842Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus of embodiments includes a regeneration control portion, a judgment portion, a driving control portion and a discharge control portion. The regeneration control portion performs a regeneration control by the motor generator. The judgment portion determines whether or not the regeneration control by the motor generator is under execution and determining whether or not a state quantity of a battery exceeds a predetermined threshold value in a case where the regeneration control is under execution. The driving control portion disconnects between a driving shaft of the vehicle and the motor generator in a case where the regeneration control is under execution and the state quantity of the battery exceeds the predetermined threshold value. The discharge control portion discharges the battery by controlling the motor generator to perform a power operation in a state where the driving shaft and the motor generator are disconnected.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2014Publication date: March 3, 2016Applicant: AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yo SHISHIDO, Shinya HARADA, Takeshi TOJO, Yoshihiro MURAKAMI

Patent number: 7595095Abstract: A method of making a coated article is provided. The method includes electrostatically depositing powder onto a metallic article to be coated using an electrostatic spray gun while the metallic article is being rotated around its axis such that the powder is deposited around the entire circumference of the metallic article at least in a radially outward peripheral region having projections and depressions and that the powder deposited on top of the projections is larger in thickness than the powder deposited in other parts of the metallic article. Melting of the powder is performed by induction heating the metallic article to make a coating film adhere to the metallic article.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2006Date of Patent: September 29, 2009Assignee: Koyo Seiko Co.Inventors: Kouji Kitahata, Takeshi Tojo, Katsura Koyagi, Takanori Kurokawa, Atsuo Suehiro, Yoshifumi Niide, Kouichi Taniguchi, Shingo Nakamura
