  • Patent number: 10895838
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a mounting unit to which a developer container is mounted, a controller to control a motor to rotate the mounted container, and a sensor to detect a predetermined portion in which the mounted container is rotated. The controller determines whether the container is mounted based on the detection result of the sensor, wherein the controller controls the motor based on the detection result so that a rotation speed of the mounted container is equal to a predetermined rotation speed. After a door is opened, in a case where, while communication between a communication unit and a memory is maintained, a detection result of the sensor is changed from a first detection result in which the predetermined portion is detected to a second detection result in which the predetermined portion is not detected, the controller determines the mounted container has been manually rotated.

  • Publication number: 20210001730
    Abstract: A control method for an electrically driven vehicle includes a motor configured to supply the vehicle with a braking force or a driving force corresponding to an accelerator operation amount. The control method is for controlling the braking force when the accelerator operation amount is less than a predetermined value and controlling the driving force when the accelerator operation amount is the predetermined value or more. In the control method, a torque target value at which the motor is caused to output a braking/driving torque corresponding to the accelerator operation amount is calculated, a disturbance torque acting on the motor as a resistance corresponding to a road surface gradient is estimated, a correction to remove the disturbance torque from the torque target value is performed, and the motor is controlled in accordance with the torque target value subjected to the correction.

  • Patent number: 10858010
    Abstract: The electric vehicle control method is a control method that includes the motor that gives braking force or driving force to a vehicle in accordance with an accelerator operation, by which the braking force is controlled when an accelerator operation amount is smaller than a given value and the driving force is controlled when the accelerator operation amount is the given value or larger. The electric vehicle control device estimates disturbance torque that acts on the motor as resistance component relating to a gradient and executes correction by which the braking force or the driving force is increased or decreased so as to cancel the resistance component in accordance with a disturbance torque estimated value Td. Then, on a downhill road at a given gradient or more, a correction amount of the braking force or the driving force is reduced.
