  • Publication number: 20240154346
    Abstract: A connector (A) is provided with a terminal fitting (10) and a housing (20) for holding the terminal fitting (10). The housing (20) includes a first function portion (30) made of a flexible synthetic resin material and a second function portion (32) made of a synthetic resin material having a smaller specific weight than the first function portion (30). The connector (A) is lighter by a weight obtained by multiplying a specific weight difference of the first function portion (30) and the second function portion (32) by a volume of the second function portion (32) as compared to a connector in which the entire housing (10) is made of the same material as the first function portion (30).

  • Publication number: 20240084753
    Abstract: 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.
