    摘要: An internal combustion engine control device (1) includes an injector-temperature calculation unit (21a), an engine-temperature calculation unit (21b), an operating-state control unit (21c), a cold/warmed-up state determination unit (21d), an ambient-temperature calculation unit (21e), and a correction unit (21f). The correction unit (21f) corrects an engine temperature calculated based on an injector temperature, when it is determined that an engine is in a cold state and a difference between the injector temperature and an ambient temperature is equal to or larger than a first predetermined value.

    摘要: A fuel delivery system automatically selects one out of several available fuels for a vehicle having a specialized fuel filler neck. A dispenser pump assembly includes a pump base, a hose assembly and a nozzle assembly which includes a nozzle spout and a cylindrical collar member slidably mounted on the nozzle spout. A sensor on the nozzle assembly generates a signal, based on a position of the collar when the spout is fully inserted into a fuel filler neck of the vehicle. The signal is transmitted via wires, wireless signal, fiber-optic cables or other medium. An electronic controller in the pump base selects an appropriate fuel, based on the signal received from the sensor. If the available fuels include percentages of ethanol or other additives, a precision blending system ensures that the correct amount of additive is provided. Methods of selecting a fuel using the system hereof are also disclosed.

    摘要: A hose to be evaluated is installed on a fixing frame in a preset shape, and a strain gauge and markers are attached to a surface of the hose. During a course of application of predetermined internal pressure to the hose, strain data is acquired using the strain gauge and an image of an external shape of the hose is captured using a camera device to acquire image data. Based on the strain data and the image data acquired, a change in the shape of the hose between a plurality of time points at identical internal pressure is determined. Such hose fatigue resistance evaluation system can determine changes in the degree of deformation of a hose over time due to repeated application of internal pressure.

    摘要: A surroundings recognition unit recognizes the road environment and traffic participants around the host vehicle. A condition satisfaction determination unit determines whether or not first to fifth conditions are satisfied, on the basis of recognition results from the surroundings recognition unit. When causing the host vehicle to travel in a lane of a traveling road adjacent to the edge of the traveling road, a control unit changes travel control content and/or notification control content relating to automated driving, depending on whether or not the first to fifth conditions are satisfied.

    摘要: Provided s a non-contact power transmission system with which it is possible to individually detect the position of a receiving unit with respect to a transmission unit, even if there are positions at which the same microvoltage values are indicated, even if the distance differs, due to the shape of the transmission coil of the transmission unit and the receiving coil of the receiving unit. At a position at which the position differential value of the detected microvoltage exceeds a zero value, said positions set to the initial position (+xint) of the movement displacement of the vehicle, and the movement displacement on the basis of vehicle velocity is calculated to a position (+xc) at which the microvoltage value characteristics can be used from said initial position to (+xc to 0).
