  • Patent number: 9062760
    Abstract: A method comprises a pre-charge step of pre-charging operating oil; a holding step of holding an operating pressure at an oil pressure less than an oil pressure during the pre-charge, for a given period of time; and a raising step of raising the operating pressure to cause an engagement-side friction element to be engaged. The method further comprises a setting step of setting a pre-charge period in the pre-charge step. The setting step includes predicting a timing at which the engagement-side friction element is to be engaged; actually measuring a timing at which the engagement-side friction element has been actually engaged; and setting the period of the pre-charge step to allow a difference between the timings to become smaller.

  • Patent number: 7967640
    Abstract: A card connector according to the present invention includes a bottom wall of a base member configured to support a plurality of contacts in a cantilever manner. A rectangular SIM card is inserted into the card connector in such a manner that the shorter side of the card is parallel to the direction of insertion. The plurality of contacts of the card connector are arranged to correspond to respective plural external contact points of the SIM card. Each of the contacts includes a contact portion, two elastic deformation portions, and a terminal portion. The two elastic deformation portions of the contact are coupled together so as to substantially form an isosceles triangle shape with a vertex angle ?1 at a vertex corresponding to the contact portion. The plurality of contacts are arranged parallel to one another, each in an inverted V shape with respect to the card insertion direction.

  • Patent number: 7740559
    Abstract: A shift control device of a vehicular automatic transmission, if during a first shift in a power-off state, a second shift judgment for a second shift that is a power-on downshift is made, performs a second shift control of lowering an input shaft rotation speed to a synchronous rotation speed of a post-second shift gear step through an engagement control of the friction engagement devices, and when the second shift is performed, performs a control of reducing a throttle valve opening degree of the engine to a predetermined degree that causes the engine to output a torque that is able to bring the input shaft rotation speed to a rotation speed that is higher than the synchronous rotation speed of the post-second shift gear step. The control device also executes a retardation control of retarding an ignition timing of the engine when the input shaft rotation speed is dropped through the second shift control.

  • Patent number: 7563198
    Abstract: A shift control device of a vehicular automatic transmission that establishes a plurality of gear steps of different speed change ratios by selectively engaging a plurality of friction engagement devices ends the shift control by making an engagement end determination regarding an engagement-side friction engagement device if it has been determined continuously for a predetermined time that the input shaft rotation speed of the automatic transmission is in the vicinity of the synchronous rotation speed of the post-shift gear step. The predetermined time is set at a first time if the downshift is a power-on downshift due to a shift judgement in a power-on state, and is set at a second time that is shorter than the first time if the downshift is a power-off?on downshift selected in connection with a change to the power-on state during a power-off shift due to the shift judgment in a power-off state.
