Abstract:
A hybrid drive unit for vehicles, in which a power distribution device is arranged in a power transmission route between an engine and a wheel, in which the power distribution device has a first to fourth rotary elements capable of rotating differentially with one another, in which a first motor generator is connected to the second rotary element and a wheel is connected to the fourth rotary element, and which is capable of steplessly controlling a speed change ratio of the first rotary element and the fourth rotary element of the power distribution device comprising: a second motor generator connected to the third rotary element of the power distribution device; a third motor generator connected to the wheel in a power transmittable manner; and an electric circuit for allowing exchange of electric power among individual motor generators.
Abstract:
A torque fluctuation absorbing apparatus includes a flywheel coupled to an engine crankshaft, a damper assembly disposed between the flywheel and the driven-side input shaft and including a pair of drive plates, a driven plate and spring dampers, and a torque limiter disposed between the flywheel and the damper assembly and including a pair of linings that are adapted to slip when receiving at least a predetermined amount of torque. In fabricating the apparatus, the drive plates and the linings are centered with each other and assembled into a damper-torque limiter assembly, while the lining support plate is centered with respect to the flywheel, such that the damper-torque limiter assembly is fixed at the lining support plate to the flywheel.

A recording apparatus includes a gate signal generator for generating a gate signal in accordance with the data signal; a pre-pit signal generator for generating a pre-pit signal from a signal read from the recording medium; a gate circuit for generating a pre-pit pulse train by allowing the pre-pit signal to pass therethrough in response to the gate signal; a pulse extractor for extracting pulses of predetermined waveform from the pre-pit pulse train; and a synchronization signal generator for generating a recording synchronization signal based on the pulses of predetermined waveform.
Abstract:
A torque fluctuation absorbing apparatus includes a flywheel coupled to an engine crankshaft, a damper assembly disposed between the flywheel and the driven-side input shaft and including a pair of drive plates, a driven plate and spring dampers, and a torque limiter disposed between the flywheel and the damper assembly and including a pair of linings that are adapted to slip when receiving at least a predetermined amount of torque. The apparatus is provided with a structure for reducing misalignment of the torque limiter during assembling thereof. For example, the torque limiter further includes a lining support plate to which the linings are fixed, and the linings are interposed between the drive plates. In fabricating the apparatus, the drive plates and the linings are centered with each other and assembled into a damper-torque limiter assembly, while the lining support plate is centered with respect to the flywheel, such that the damper-torque limiter assembly is fixed at the lining support plate to the flywheel.
Abstract:
A light power control circuit by which a stable writing without any influence of a high-frequency current on writing data is enabled by performing superposition of the high-frequency signal on a drive current of a laser diode only during a reading mode, and by inhibiting the superposition of the high-frequency current during a writing mode. In a further embodiment having a construction in which a writing drive current is superposed on a reading drive signal in the form of pulses and a voltage proportional to a writing power is subtracted from an error signal in a servo system, an influences of a writing data component on the operation of the servo system is eliminated by effecting a level shift to the voltage by a predetermined level and subtracting the voltage after the level shift from the error signal.
