| 20110247488 | HIGH-PRESSURE PUMP - A high-pressure pump includes a plunger for pressurizing a fuel, a cylinder accommodating the plunger reciprocatably in its axial direction and a pump body. The pump body defines a pressurization chamber, a low-pressure fuel passage hydraulically connecting a fuel inlet and the pressurization chamber, and a discharge passage. The pump body further defines a cylindrical space around the cylinder. The fuel flows into the cylindrical space from the low-pressure fuel passage so as to cool the cylinder. The entire outer surface of the cylinder can be surely cooled. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20100332116 | OFF ROAD NAVIGATION SYSTEM - A method of operating a navigation system in a vehicle may entail invoking an off-road mode of the navigation system; displaying a first off-road terrain on a navigation system display; displaying a first present location of the vehicle on the display, inputting a first user-input off-road destination into the navigation system; inputting a first user-input off-road waypoint into the navigation system; displaying straight line trajectories between the start point, the first user-input off-road waypoint and the destination on a display of the navigation system and displaying a first real-time path of on-screen breadcrumbs as the vehicle travels off-road in current or real-time; shifting on the display, each user-entered off-road waypoint to a closest on-screen breadcrumb of the first real-time path; shifting on the display, the user-entered destination to the closest on-screen breadcrumb; and storing the first real-time path in a memory of a navigation control unit. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100137098 | VEHICLE DRIVE SYSTEM - In a drive system of a vehicle, the drive power of an engine is divided by a planetary gear set to drive two power transfer shafts. One of the two shafts includes a continuously variable transmission unit and a clutch. The output sides of the two shafts are coupled to a common power output shaft, which is coupled to an AC motor. In a power transfer condition of the clutch, the vehicle is driven with only the output drive power of the engine or both drive powers of the engine and the AC motor. In a power interruption condition of the clutch, the vehicle is driven with only the drive power of the AC motor. The kinetic energy generated at deceleration of the vehicle is converted into electric energy by the AC motor thereby to perform regenerative braking. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100066293 | VEHICLE-USE START CONTROL SYSTEM - The vehicle-use start control system includes a control section which initializes a control signal outputted from the control section when a power supply voltage supplied is lower than or equal to a predetermined initialization voltage, and sets a voltage level of the control signal depending on the detected shift range of the automatic transmission, and a latch section which outputs a start permission/inhibition signal a voltage level of which is indicative of starting of an engine of the vehicle being permitted or inhibited. The latch section latches the voltage level of the start permission/inhibition signal when the power supply voltage is predicted to be lower than or equal to the initialization voltage during the start processing period. | 03-18-2010 |
