Abstract: An electric machine system includes an electric machine, an electric power converter, and a control unit. The electric machine includes a stator that includes coils, and a rotator that includes a magnet and is rotatable with respect to the stator. The electric power converter inputs electric power with respect to the coils of the electric machine. The control unit controls the electric power converter. The control unit includes an output unit and a correction unit. The output unit outputs a control signal for operating the electric power converter to the electric power converter. The correction unit corrects a phase of the control signal that determines input timing of the electric power with respect to the coils of the electric machine. The correction unit corrects the phase so that the magnitude of the electric power approaches an extreme value.

Abstract: A valve spring includes a nitrided layer, and a core portion that is further inward than the nitrided layer. A chemical composition of the core portion consists of, in mass %, C: 0.53 to 0.59%, Si: 2.51 to 2.90%, Mn: 0.70 to 0.85%, P: 0.020% or less, S: 0.020% or less, Cr: 1.40 to 1.70%, Mo: 0.17 to 0.53%, V: 0.23 to 0.33%, Ca: 0.0001 to 0.0050%, Cu: 0.050% or less, Ni: 0.050% or less, Al: 0.0050% or less, Ti: 0.050% or less, and N: 0.0070% or less, with the balance being Fe and impurities. In the core portion, a number density of V-based precipitates having a maximum diameter ranging from 2 to 10 nm is 500 to 8000 per ?m2, and in the core portion, a numerical proportion of Ca sulfides with respect to a total number of oxide-based inclusions and sulfide-based inclusions is 0.20% or less.

Abstract: An electric vehicle control device includes an idling-sliding control unit that provides control to reduce or prevent idling and sliding that may occur on a wheel of an electric vehicle. The idling-sliding control unit includes an idling-sliding detection unit for detecting idling or sliding that has occurred on the electric vehicle, and a torque command value generation unit that generates a torque command value used for reducing or preventing idling or sliding, based on output of the idling-sliding detection unit. When a prediction signal representing an anticipated occurrence of idling or sliding is inputted, the torque command value generation unit performs narrowing of the torque command value regardless of whether or not the idling-sliding control unit is performing idling-sliding control.

Abstract: A packet switch has pluralities of incoming and outgoing trunks, a data memory accessible from them in common, and FIFO memories each provided in each of input and output circuits. Data from the incoming trunks is written into and read out from the buffer memory for transfer to the outgoing trunks, on a time-shared basis, to perform packet switching between trunks of different data transfer rates. Furthermore, the packet switch has an arbiter for detecting process requests from the input circuits and an arbiter for detecting process requests from the output circuits, so that priority control is effected for servicing the requests. As a result, dynamic allocation of access to the buffer memory to the input and output circuits is permitted.

Abstract: The telephone switching system comprises a plurality of speech path units, a juncture switch unit for interconnecting the speech path units, a central processing unit for controlling the speech path units and the junctor switch unit. Each speech path unit comprises a time switch which shifts a signal which is time-division-multiplexed from time slots of a plurality of incoming highways to other time slots on a plurality of outgoing highways, a digital trunk circuit for processing a register signal received by the time slot and other control signals, and a speech path control equipment which receives and distributes a control signal between the time division switch, the digital trunk circuit and the central processing unit.
