  • Publication number: 20250149808
    Abstract: Provided is a bonded structure in which conductors of a plurality of wires is ultrasonically bonded together. Conductors (5a) that are relatively difficult to deform are intermixed with conductors (5b) that are relatively easy to deform. In other words, two or more types of the wires made up of conductors of different materials are intermixed. In an axial view of the wires, when an ultrasonic bonding direction is an up-down direction of a conductor joint, and a direction orthogonal to the ultrasonic bonding direction is a width direction of the conductor joint, the conductors (5a, 5b) of different materials are arranged substantially line symmetrical with respect to a center line (A) in the width direction.

  • Publication number: 20240343155
    Abstract: A control device for an electrified vehicle includes a travel ECU that controls the travel of the electrified vehicle, and an auxiliary ECU that controls the voltage of an auxiliary battery separately from the travel ECU. The auxiliary ECU receives battery information indicating the state of the auxiliary battery from the travel ECU, generates a voltage request signal that requests voltage from the DC-DC converter based on the battery information, and sends the voltage request signal to the travel ECU. When the travel ECU receives the voltage request signal from the auxiliary ECU, it outputs a control signal corresponding to the voltage request signal to the DC-DC converter.

  • Patent number: 12026632
    Abstract: A theme phrase feature value calculation unit 103 calculates a feature value Fq of a given theme phrase Q based on the cosine similarity with a feature keyword of a feature keyword DB 107b. A positive/negative example determination unit 104 applies the feature value Fq to a positive/negative example determination model to determine whether a response phrase A is a positive example or a negative example. A response phrase score calculation unit 105 calculates the cosine similarity between the theme phrase Q and a plurality of theme phrases that form a pair with a response phrase A determined to be a positive example, and the highest value of the calculated cosine similarity is set as a score of the response phrase A. A response phrase selection unit 106 selects the response phrase indicating the maximum score as the response phrase for the theme phrase Q.

  • Patent number: 11837105
    Abstract: The number n of times of chewing is counted by chewing number of times calculation means (13b2) based on a change in the distance l from a photoreflector (50), which is received together with time t by measurement value receiving means (13b1). To vary hardness h of a bag (30) to a stage that can be sensed, according to the number n of times of chewing, a required air pressure is set according to the current number n of times, based on a hardness/air pressure correspondence recording unit (13g) in which stages that have a significant difference therebetween and are stored in association with the number n of times of chewing are recorded. To realize the set air pressure inside the bag (30), the amount of sucking performed using a vacuum pump 20 is controlled by air pressure control means (13b4).

  • Patent number: 11739789
    Abstract: Provided is a half bearing constituting a sliding bearing that is unlikely to cause damage during an operation of an internal combustion engine. The half bearing includes at least one protrusion, and the protrusion projects outward in a radial direction from an outer circumferential surface. A recessed portion that is recessed inward in the radial direction from the outer circumferential surface is formed over the entire inner-circumferential length between the protrusion and a circumferential-direction end surface of the half bearing. Two radial-direction grooves are formed in the circumferential-direction end surface of the half bearing relative to the protrusion, and each of the radial-direction grooves is adjacent to each of recessed portion side surfaces. The radial-direction grooves extend in the radial direction along the recessed portion side surfaces and are separated from the recessed portion at a midpoint of the extension.
