  • Patent number: 10207715
    Abstract: An automatic transmission control device implements a downshift by disengagement of a clutch that is engaged in a gear position before the downshift. It is determined whether an engine state is in a predetermined region in which a change of an engine torque per a change of an accelerator pedal opening is smaller than that in another region, and the engine torque is within a predetermined range, and an engine rotational speed is within a predetermined range. It is determined whether an operating state is in a predetermined state of accelerator operation in which the accelerator pedal opening is larger than a predetermined value, and an accelerator pedal opening change rate has an absolute value smaller than a predetermined value. The downshift is inhibited in response to determination that the engine state is in the predetermined region and the operating state is in the predetermined state of accelerator operation.

  • Patent number: 9080671
    Abstract: A first determining unit configured to determine whether the indicated pressure of a primary pulley pressure has become a line pressure during an up shift, an indicated pressure control unit configured to make the indicated pressure of the primary pulley pressure alone higher than the line pressure when the target shift rate is determined to be equal to or lower than a predetermined shift rate and the speed ratio is determined not to have become the target speed ratio, and an estimated time detecting unit configured to detect a predetermined time it takes until the primary pulley pressure can be regarded as being equal to the line pressure after the target shift rate is determined to be equal to or lower than the predetermined shift rate, and the indicated pressure of the primary pulley pressure is made higher than the line pressure, are provided, and the indicated pressure control unit is configured to calculate the deviation between the indicated pressure of the primary pulley pressure and indicated pressur

  • Patent number: 9062742
    Abstract: A continuously-variable transmission, which has a first pulley, which has a first fixed pulley and a first mobile pulley, a second pulley, which has a second fixed pulley and a second mobile pulley, and a drive force transmitting member, which is stretched between the first pulley and the second pulley, is provided, and this continuously-variable transmission has an indicated pressure calculation section, which calculates the indicated pressure of the first pulley, a stroke speed calculation section, which calculates the stroke speed of the first mobile pulley, and an oil pressure calculation section, which, when oil is discharged from an oil chamber, calculates the amount of increase of oil pressure in a first pulley oil chamber that increases compared to the indicated pressure due to the channel resistance of the discharge path, based on the channel resistance and the stroke speed, and a correction section, which, when oil is discharged from the first pulley oil chamber, subtracts the amount of increase of

  • Patent number: 6167637
    Abstract: The hydroextractor disclosed has a dehydration chamber, a pressurization chamber defined by a flexible diaphragm in isolation from the dehydration chamber, and a crushing member disposed in the dehydration chamber. A pipe member extends through the pressurization chamber and the diaphragm, and a rotary shaft extends sealingly through the pipe member into the dehydration chamber. The crushing member is mounted to the rotary shaft and is driven by a drive apparatus connected to the opposite end of the shaft. The hydroextractor feeds moist material and pours cooling water into the dehydration chamber and introduces pressurized water into the pressurization chamber. The hot material fed in the dehydration chamber is pressure-dehydrated into a cake with the diaphragm of the pressurization chamber. The dehydrated cake is poured with cooling water, and at the same time the crushing member crushes the dehydrated cake and mixes it with the cooling water.
