Abstract: A hybrid-vehicle driving system includes an engine, a transmission, a first motor/generator provided between the engine and the transmission, and a battery that can charge and discharge the first motor/generator. When an estimated output voltage of the first motor/generator becomes higher than or equal to a predetermined voltage during a gear shift operation of the transmission, the battery is electrically disconnected from the driving system, and the voltage of a power line on the side of the first motor/generator is then decreased so as to charge the battery.

Abstract: An intake silencer of a gas turbine capable of efficient noise reduction in which a high frequency sound-absorbing splitter group composed of a plurality of sound-absorbing splitters capable of reducing highfrequency component noise and a middle/low sound-absorbing splitter group composed of a plurality of sound-absorbing splitters capable of reducing middle/low frequency component noise are disposed separately in a gas flow direction. High frequency component noise is reduced by the high frequency sound-absorbing splitter group, and middle/low frequency component noise is reduced by the middle/low sound-absorbing splitter group.

Abstract: A power accumulating unit of a power supply system includes a first switch section configured to achieve a first voltage output state in which an output voltage is substantially equal to a first motor driving voltage and a second switch section configured to achieve a second voltage output state in which the output voltage is substantially equal to a second motor driving voltage that is higher than the first motor driving voltage. A voltage switching control part is configured to perform a voltage switching control to switch between the first motor driving voltage and the second motor driving voltage by alternately operating the first and second switch sections to repeatedly switch between the first voltage output state and the second voltage output state.

Abstract: To protect the inverters and motor generators from damage caused by abnormal currents resulting from the sudden changes in voltage that occur when changing the battery voltage. A vehicle equipped with an engine 10* and first and second motor-generators 11 and 12 that can generate electricity by being driven by engine 10* or from regeneration of kinetic energy of the vehicle, power supply line 25 that connects first motor-generator 11 with second motor-generator 12, and battery 23 connected via switch 24 in the middle of electric power supply line 25. When changing the voltage of battery 23, switch 24 is opened before the voltage of battery 23 is changed, and switch 24 is closed only after one of the motor generators 11 and 12 is caused to generate electric power or propel the vehicle in order to reduce the difference in voltage between power supply line 25 and battery 23.

Abstract: A battery unit has positive and negative terminals, a pair of battery modules, three switch modules, a bypass line and a controller. A first battery module is connected to the positive and negative terminals. The second battery module is connected in parallel with the first battery module. Each battery module includes a battery and a reactor connected together in series. The first switch module extends between the negative terminal and a negative electrode side of the first battery module. The second switch module extends between positive electrode sides of the first and second battery modules. The bypass line connects a point lying between the first battery module and the first switch module to a point lying between the second battery module and the second switch module. The third switch module is arranged in the bypass line. The controller controls an on-off state of each of the switch modules.
