  • Publication number: 20220010955
    Abstract: A light emitting apparatus includes a light emitting element for emitting light specified by a spectrum having a peak wavelength in a wavelength range from 360 nm to 430 nm, and a wavelength conversion member for converting at least a portion of light emitted by the light emitting element into light specified by a spectrum having a peak wavelength in a wavelength range from 360 nm to 780 nm. The light emitting apparatus emits illumination light formed by a combination of light that is not converted by the wavelength conversion member, from among light emitted by the light emitting element, and light that is converted by the wavelength conversion member. A total energy of light having a wavelength in a range from 360 to 430 nm is between 3% and 18% of a total energy of light having a wavelength included in a range from 360 nm to 780 nm.

  • Patent number: 10253877
    Abstract: In a case where intermediate gear stage fault occurs, an electronic control unit determines, using a predetermined relationship for determining gear stage switching between a gear stage on a lower side than the intermediate gear stage by one stage and the intermediate gear stage, whether or not to execute gear stage switching between the low gear stage and a gear stage on a higher than the intermediate gear stage by one stage. For example, compared to using a relationship for determining gear stage switching between a gear stage on the higher side and the intermediate gear stage, it is possible to execute gear stage switching between a gear stage on the lower side and a gear stage on the higher side in a low vehicle speed region. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the influence on vehicle behavior.

  • Patent number: 10030763
    Abstract: In a control apparatus for a vehicle, when it is not determined that a downshift to a second gear stage should be carried out and an accelerator depression amount change rate is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value when it is determined that a downshift to a first gear stage should be carried out, a single downshift command to the first gear stage is output. When it is not determined that the downshift to the second gear stage should be carried out and the accelerator depression amount change rate is larger than the predetermined value when it is determined that the downshift to the first gear stage should be carried out, a current gear stage is maintained. Therefore, a skip downshift to the second gear stage can be carried out when it is determined that the downshift to the second gear stage should be carried out.

  • Patent number: 8812203
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a power transmitting system of a vehicle provided with a transmission portion having a plurality of speed ratios to be established in steps, and an electric motor operatively connected to an input-side rotary member of said transmission portion and controlled to generate a regenerative torque in a decelerating state of the vehicle, the control apparatus is configured: to implement a shifting control to perform a shifting operation of said transmission portion under the condition of a determination in the decelerating state of the vehicle that an input torque of said transmission portion including said regenerative torque is substantially zero; and to implement the shifting control to perform the shifting operation of said transmission portion under the condition of an improvement of a fuel economy rather than the determination that the input torque of said transmission portion is substantially zero, when a target deceleration value of the vehicle is larger than a predetermined threshol

  • Patent number: 8777811
    Abstract: A vehicular shift control device is provided that controls the input rotational speed of a geared transmission by adjusting the rotational speed of a drive source at downshift of the geared transmission. The greater the deceleration of the vehicle, the smaller is set the change gradient of the input rotational speed of the geared transmission. Therefore, even if the decrease rate of the post-shifting synchronization rotational speed is great, the incident angle ? of the input rotational speed of the geared transmission relative to the post-shifting synchronization rotational speed is maintained as a large angle. Even when the deceleration of the vehicle during downshift is great, the downshift is smoothly executed without producing an excessive synchronization shock.

  • Patent number: 8777812
    Abstract: In a downshift of an automatic transmission in a state where an accelerator pedal is depressed, one of a clutch-to-clutch shift in which the shift is carried out by gradually reducing an engagement pressure of a clutch or a brake to be disengaged in the shift and a rotation synchronization shift in which the shift is carried out by reducing the engagement pressure of the clutch or the brake more quickly than in the clutch-to-clutch shift is selected based on an output shaft torque of the automatic transmission, a region where the rotation synchronization shift is selected is lower in output shaft torque than a region where the clutch-to-clutch shift is selected, and hence it is possible to appropriately selectively execute a shift placing emphasis on a shock and a shift placing emphasis on a shift speed in accordance with the output shaft torque.
