Abstract: A HST system for use in traveling of a vehicle includes a controller that controls a pump regulator that changes a displacement of a pump and a motor regulator that changes a displacement of a motor. The controller determines whether or not a particular downhill travel condition is satisfied based on a result of detection by a vehicle speed detector that detects a vehicle speed of the vehicle and a result of detection by a rotation number detector that detects a number of rotations of an engine per unit time. In a case where a depression amount of an accelerator pedal, which is detected by a depression amount detector, is zero and the particular downhill travel condition is satisfied, the controller controls the motor regulator to increase the displacement of the motor.

Abstract: An ignition coil for use in an internal combustion engine includes a primary coil, a secondary coil, a core, and a magnet. The core creates a closed magnetic circuit through which magnetic flux produced upon energization of the primary coil flows. The core has formed therein a gap through which the magnetic circuit passes. The magnet is disposed in the gap and has magnetic domains whose magnetization vectors are at least partially oriented obliquely relative to a gap direction. The orientation of the magnetization vectors in the magnet minimizes an energy loss when primary energy is transformed into secondary energy.
