Abstract: A refrigeration apparatus for transport includes an electric component box that houses an inverter board and is arranged on a lateral side of an external heat exchanger. The electric component box has an opposing plate that faces an air entrance surface of the external heat exchanger. A heat sink is provided on the opposing plate of the electric component box. The heat sink is exposed to the outside of the electric component box to cool a power module on the inverter board.

Abstract: A vehicle drive device includes: an electric motor; a multi-plate clutch including a plurality of clutch plates; a pressing mechanism configured to press the multi-plate clutch; an output rotary member to which a drive force of the electric motor is transferred through the multi-plate clutch; and a control device configured to control the electric motor and the pressing mechanism. The control device is configured to control the pressing mechanism using information on the result of test operation performed while the vehicle is stationary.

Abstract: A vehicle drive device includes a control device, and the control device controls an electric motor, a first pressing mechanism and a second pressing mechanism such that a relational expression of T<T1+T2 is satisfied, where T represents a torque that is input to an input rotation member, T1 represents a maximum of a torque that is able to be transmitted by a first multi-disc clutch and T2 represents a maximum of a torque that is able to be transmitted by a second multi-disc clutch.

Abstract: An oxide superconducting wire includes a superconducting layer deposited on a substrate. The superconducting layer includes an oxide superconductor RE-Ba—Cu—O and artificial pinning centers ABO3, where RE is a rare earth element, A is Ba, Sr or Ca, and B is Hf, Zr, or Sn. In a TEM image of a cross-section of the superconducting layer, a standard deviation ? of an inclination angle of the artificial pinning center rods with respect to a cross-sectional direction of the superconducting layer is 6.13° to 11.73° and an average length of the artificial pinning center rods is 19.84 to 25.44 nm.

Abstract: A driving force control apparatus for controlling a driving force to be transmitted to a wheel includes a processor. The processor is configured to set, when the wheel is idled, a control amount of the driving force to be transmitted to the wheel based on a vehicle acceleration.

Abstract: A control apparatus configured to control a four-wheel drive vehicle configured to drive right and left front wheels and right and left rear wheels includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit calculates a vehicle body speed based on rotation speeds of the wheels and a cumulative value of accelerations in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The accelerations are detected by an acceleration sensor. The electronic control unit calculates the vehicle body speed based on the cumulative value of the accelerations. The electronic control unit calculates a correction value based on a lowest rotation speed among the rotation speeds of the wheels under a predetermined condition. The electronic control unit performs correction by using the correction value to make the vehicle body speed closer to a vehicle body speed conversion value of the lowest rotation speed.
