| 20110010063 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICULAR DRIVE APPARATUS - A control device for a vehicular drive apparatus, includes: a torque converter having a pump wheel, a turbine wheel and a stator wheel rotatably disposed between the turbine wheel and the pump wheel; an electric motor operative to drive and/or apply a brake to the stator wheel; a first connecting/disconnecting means operable to connect/disconnect the electric motor and the stator wheel to and from each other; a second connecting/disconnecting means operable to connect/disconnect the electric motor and an output shaft to and from each other; and mode switching means for switching a first mode in which the first connecting/disconnecting means is held in a connecting state to allow the electric motor to control a rotating state of the stator wheel and a second mode in which the second connecting/disconnecting means is held in a connecting state to enable the electric motor to perform power running and regeneration, depending on a running condition of a vehicle. | 01-13-2011 |
| 20090194049 | CAM CAP - A cam cap has a wall portion that extends between two cam cap portions integrally formed and having connection portions respectively, and therefore the rigidity of the cam cap is high and thus the relative positional accuracies of oil passage connection faces of the connection portions are high even after the cam cap is mounted on an internal combustion engine. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090075520 | Composite Plug and Electric Circuit System - Provided is a plug wherein a plurality of points in an electric circuit can be easily put into a conductive state or a nonconductive state. A system wherein such a plug is applied is also provided. The composite plug is provided with a plurality of plugs, each of which is provided with two conductive pieces connected by a conductive member. A current is carried between the two circuit terminals when the two conductive pieces are brought into contact with two circuit terminals included in the electric circuit, respectively. A current is not carried between the two circuit terminals when the two conductive pieces are separated from the two circuit terminals included in the electric circuit, respectively. The plugs are attached to a common case body. | 03-19-2009 |
