  • Publication number: 20200398819
    Abstract: A catalyst warm-up control method for a hybrid vehicle supplies electric power to an electric motor by a battery, to charge the battery by a power generation engine, and to treat exhaust gas from the engine with a catalyst, the hybrid vehicle selecting a manner mode in which power generation using the engine is stopped. The catalyst warm-up control method performs catalyst warm-up control such that when the temperature of the catalyst becomes lower than a normal threshold temperature for activating the catalyst, the target rotation speed of the engine is controlled to a first warm-up required rotation speed at which the catalyst can be heated to a temperature that is higher than the normal threshold temperature. When the manner mode is selected, control is performed when temperature of the catalyst becomes lower than a manner mode threshold temperature that is equal to or less than the normal threshold temperature.

  • Publication number: 20200386135
    Abstract: A catalyst warm-up control method for a hybrid vehicle includes a battery supplying electric power to an electric motor, the battery is charged by an engine for electric power generation, and exhaust gas discharged from the engine 1 is treated by a catalyst. By the catalyst warm-up control method, when temperature of the catalyst is lower than required warm-up temperature for activating the catalyst, target revolution speed and target torque of the engine are controlled based on a state of charge of the battery, and, when target revolution speed is lower than lower-limit revolution speed at which the catalyst can be heated to the required warm-up temperature, the target revolution speed is controlled so as to be required warm-up revolution speed that is equal to or higher than the lower-limit revolution speed.

  • Publication number: 20200219300
    Abstract: The present technique relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that can make an improvement in terms of communication regarding a plurality of users viewing the same content. Data of content is acquired, and a first visual field image corresponding to a visual field of a first user is cut out from a content image based on the data of the content. In addition, visual field information representing a visual field of a second user viewing the content image is acquired. Furthermore, in a display apparatus, the first visual field image is displayed, and the visual field of the second user is displayed based on the visual field information of the second user. The present technique can be applied to, for example, a case where a plurality users views content, such as a spherical image and a free viewpoint image.
