Abstract: The fuel cell system includes a water electrolysis device, a first gas-liquid separator, an oxygen tank, a fuel cell, a second gas-liquid separator, and a controller. When the level of water in the first gas-liquid separator becomes lower than a predetermined threshold value, the controller supplies oxygen gas having a pressure higher than the internal pressure of the first gas-liquid separator to the second gas-liquid separator and opens the first on-off valve.

Abstract: A decompression system is configured to: determine a regulating amount of a flow regulating valve provided on a discharge flow path through which compressed gas flowing out from a gas generating device flows, the regulating amount being determined based on a pressure detected by a pressure sensor provided on the discharge flow path; correct the determined regulating amount based on a temperature detected by a temperature sensor provided on the discharge flow path; and control the flow regulating valve so that the regulating amount thereof becomes the corrected regulating amount.

Abstract: A water electrolysis system includes a control device. The control device outputs a first current command value, which is a constant current command value, to one from among a first power source device and a second power source device. The control device generates a second current command value, which is an undefined current command value, based on an amount of the hydrogen gas inside a gas-liquid separator, and outputs the second current command value to another one from among the first power source device and the second power source device.

Abstract: A regenerative fuel cell system includes a supply mechanism for supplying gas generated by a pressurization apparatus to a fuel cell, and a control apparatus. The supply mechanism includes a flow regulating valve provided in a gas supply path, and a pressure sensor that detects pressure of the gas supplied to the gas supply path. When a pressurization-stop operation is started, the control apparatus adjusts the flow rate of the flow regulating valve to realize a target depressurization rate, and causes the fuel cell to generate power corresponding to the flow rate.

Abstract: A vehicle control device includes a control unit. In a state where a first electric motor generates electricity by rotating an internal combustion engine and a target driving force is decided based on an operation for an accelerator pedal, the control unit performs a first driving control in which driving of a vehicle by a first driving force, which is a driving force of a first driving device including the internal combustion engine and the first electric motor, is prioritized. In a state where the first electric motor generates electricity by rotating the internal combustion engine and the target driving force is decided without being based on the operation for the accelerator pedal, the control unit performs a second driving control in which driving of the vehicle by a second driving force, which is a driving force of a second driving device including a second electric motor, is prioritized.

Abstract: A vehicle control device controls a vehicle including a first driving device and a second driving device having a maximum driving force that is smaller than a maximum driving force of the first driving device. The vehicle control device includes a control unit configured to, in a state where the vehicle is driven by a second driving force, if a determination unit determines that there is a step on the route of the vehicle, drive the vehicle by at least a first driving force.

Abstract: A control apparatus for a transmission including a gear engagement commander outputting a gear engagement command of a sleeve, an actuator controller controlling an actuator to move the sleeve from a neutral position to a gear engaging position when the gear engagement command is output, a gear engagement determiner determining whether an engagement of the sleeve is prevented in a course of moving the sleeve from the neutral position to the gear engaging position; and a motor controlling an electric motor to rotate a rotating shaft so as to change a rotational position of movable dog teeth relative to passive dog teeth when it is determined that the engagement of the sleeve is prevented.

Abstract: A medical tube having a coil-shaped mono-filament, a small-diameter tubular body, or a bellows-shaped reinforcing member mounted on the outer periphery of the tube, the medical tube being excellent in flexibility and anti-kinking property and capable of greatly saving its material usage. This medical tube is suitably used as constituting members of medical appliances, such as a blood circuit line, a transfusion/infusion set, an infusion bag, and a blood bag.

Abstract: A process for producing a medical device having a branch includes the steps of: welding a bottom of the tubular member on a mounting surface of a constituent material of a main tube extruded under elevated temperature, welding firmly the bottom of the tubular member to the mounting surface of the main tube while aspirating the constituent material of the main tube from above the tubular member, forming a hole in the mounting surface of the main tube so as to communicate an interior of the tubular member with an interior of the main tube, and cutting the main tube, thereby assembling the medical device having the branch.

Abstract: The apparatus for manufacturing bags for medical use includes an extruding machine, a device for forming an extruded tube, a device for supplying outlet devices, and a device for conveying the extruded tube horizontally. The device for forming the extruded tube has a die through which pass a sterile air supply line, a medical fluid supply line, an air recovering line and a second sterile air supply line which passes through the medical fluid supply line. The extruding machine extrudes a tube in a fused state and outlet devices are welded to the extruded tube in the fused state. The extruded tube is pressed by the formation device at intervals along it to form fused portions bounding chambers and a fluid passage through each fused portion to connect the chambers. Sterile air is fed into the extruded tube and the shape of the extruded tube is maintained by the pressure of the sterile air.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a medical hollow fiber device for removing waste material in the blood, including the steps of providing a housing; coiling hollow fiber membranes into loops; providing bundles of the loops whose entire interior is filled with a liquid and placing them into the housing; closing both ends of the housing with caps; supplying viscous potting material into the housing at the end portions of the hollow fiber membranes, and applying a centrifugal force to the housing. The potting material penetrates between the end portions and exerts an outside pressure on the membranes. The liquid in the membranes moves toward both ends of the housing and exerts an inside pressure overcoming the outside pressure of the potting material until the potting material solidifies.
