20110087395POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICALLY POWERED VEHICLE, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A power supply system includes a main power storage device and a plurality of sub power storage devices. A converter is connected to selected one of the sub power storage devices to convert voltage between the selected sub power storage device and an electric power feeding line bidirectionally. When a request for switching the selected sub power storage device in use is generated, upper limits on electric power input/output to/from the selected sub power storage device are continuously varied. Thus, discontinuous variation of electric power input/output to/from the power supply system during the process for switching the selected sub power storage device can be avoided. Consequently, sudden change in a behavior of an electrically powered vehicle can be avoided.04-14-2011

20100094497ELECTRICAL POWERED VEHICLE INCORPORATING MOTOR AND INVERTER, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - In an electrical powered vehicle including a control device for generating an input/output power command value for a power storage device and a control device for controlling a power conversion device and a rotating electric machine, provided separately, when there is a sudden change in the rotational speed of a rotating electric machine, the input/output power command value of a power storage device intrinsically set by an HV-ECU is corrected corresponding to the change in the rotational speed of the rotating electric machine by a control device MG-ECU detecting the rotational speed of the rotating electric machine, without having to wait for modification of the input/output power command value from the HV-ECU. Accordingly, there can be prevented excessive charging and excessive discharging of a power storage device induced by delay in modifying the input/output power command value caused by transmission delay between control devices when the rotational speed of the rotating electric machine suddenly changes.04-15-2010
20110040436POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICALLY POWERED VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - A power supply system includes a main power storage device and a plurality of sub power storage devices. A converter is connected to selected one of the sub power storage devices to convert voltage between the selected sub power storage device and an electric power feeding line bidirectionally. When a request for switching the selected sub power storage device in use is generated, a converter steps up voltage on the electric power feeding line to a predetermined voltage, and thereafter a process for switching relays is performed. The predetermined voltage is higher than any of a voltage output from the main power storage device and a voltage output from a sub power storage device to be newly connected to the converter. Further, during the process for switching connection of the relays, upper limits on electric power input/output to/from the selected sub power storage device are set to 0.02-17-2011

20090253945METHOD FOR PRODUCING TERTIARY BUTYL ALCOHOL - Disclosed is a method for producing tertiary butyl alcohol through hydration reaction of isobutylene and water in the presence of a cation exchange resin by using a reactor having at least two reactor vessels provided in series. The method is characterized in that a fluid in a reactor vessel at the most downstream side forms a two-liquid phase and the reaction temperature of the reactor vessel is kept at 70° C. or lower, and a fluid in at least one reactor vessel other than the one at the most downstream side forms a homogeneous phase.10-08-2009

20090170650SHIFT CONTROL APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - A shift control apparatus that disconnects and connects respective pairs of friction engagement elements during downshift to a speed spaced apart by two or more steps through an intermediate shift speed. A shift controller controls a hydraulic pressure of a second shift release element by feedback control, and in accordance with the increase in the torque capacity of the second shift release element, also controls the torque capacity of a first shift engagement element so as to be sufficiently higher than the amount of change in the torque capacity of the second shift release element. The occurrence of adverse consequences in which a shift shock is generated is effectively suppressed because a sufficient reaction force cannot be ensured during engagement switching due to insufficient torque capacity of the first shift engagement element, and since the second shift release element cannot be appropriately feedback-controlled, difficulty in control of rotation change results.07-02-2009
20090171543SHIFT CONTROL APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - A shift controller controls a downshift to a low shift speed, spaced apart from a high shift speed by two or more steps, through an intermediate shift speed, by first releasing first and second shift release elements, then engaging a first shift engagement element, and finally engaging a second shift engagement element, while controlling the torque capacity of the second shift release element by feedback control. As a result of releasing the first and second shift release elements before engaging the first shift engagement element, it is possible to rev up an input rotation at maximum performance of an engine to reduce the time for shifting. As a result of the feedback control of the torque capacity of the second shift release element after engaging the first shift engagement element, a torque fluctuation at the intermediate shift speed can be reduced to avoid occurrence of an uncomfortable shift shock.07-02-2009
