Publication number: 20240264577Abstract: A machining condition management system includes: a cutting tool that includes a cutting edge and a sensor; a storage that stores a mechanical machining condition and a measurement value; and a processor that performs revision of the mechanical machining condition based on the mechanical machining condition and the measurement value stored in the storage. The processor determines a load on the cutting tool based on the measurement value in a first cutting process under the mechanical machining condition, calculates a revised value for revising the mechanical machining condition for at least one machining interval that has fulfilled a prescribed condition in the determination for the first cutting process, and updates the mechanical machining condition in a second cutting process, based on the calculated revised value, and outputs the mechanical machining condition in the second cutting process.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2021Publication date: August 8, 2024Applicant: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventor: Tomoya AOKI

Publication number: 20230095211Abstract: A vehicle includes an electrical component electrically connected to a transmission path of supply electric power, a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the electrical component, a control device configured to suppress the supply electric power when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is equal to or higher than a threshold temperature, as compared with a case where the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is lower than the threshold temperature. The control device is configured to lower the threshold temperature when the external charging is executed again after the external charging is stopped, as compared with a case before the external charging is stopped.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI kAISHAInventors: Daisuke Kamikihara, Tomoya Aoki

Publication number: 20220388419Abstract: A charging system includes: a main battery storing electric power for a vehicle to travel; an inlet connected to a charging connector; a charging relay that switches a path of electric power from the inlet to the main battery; a converter that steps down a voltage of the electric power from the inlet; and an ECU that controls the charging relay and the converter. The ECU: controls the converter so that the converter starts stepping down the voltage of the electric power from the inlet to the auxiliary voltage after receiving the electric power from the inlet; supplies, before the charging relay switches to the connected state, the charging relay with the electric power from the converter as operating power for switching to the connected state; and controls the charging relay so that the charging relay switches from the disconnected state to the connected state, using the operating power.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2022Publication date: December 8, 2022Inventors: Taiga DOI, Kenji MURASATO, Tomoya AOKI
