The end portion of the stabilizer is connected to the lower end portion of the shock absorber.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a method and a device for determining the direction towards which an input shaft rotation speed changes along with the release of a friction engagement element during transmission operation, and based on the direction of change, determining whether the transmission operation is a power-on state transmission operation or a power-off state transmission operation, and based on the result of determination, deciding either the release-side friction engagement element or the connection-side friction engagement element as the main object of control for performing the transmission operation.
Abstract:
The up-shift is discriminated to be in any one of a first up-shift mode in which the throttle opening degree remains nearly constant, a second up-shift mode accompanying the operation for nearly fully closing the throttle or a third up-shift mode accompanying the operation for closing the throttle to a half opened state. On the other hand, the down-shift is discriminated to be either in a first down-shift mode which accompanies the operation for opening the throttle or in a second down-shift mode accompanying the decrease in the vehicle speed. The rate of changing the speed is set for each of the speed change modes, and the speed change ratio of the continuously variable transmission is so controlled that the actual speed change ratio is gradually brought to the basic speed change ratio based upon said rate of changing the speed.
Abstract:
A basic speed change ratio is set on the basis of vehicle speed and throttle valve opening, and a control target speed change ratio is made to gradually approach the basic speed change ratio in accordance with a speed change speed. Feedback control is then carried out so that the actual speed change ratio coincides with the control target speed change ratio. When there is an up-shift requirement with a rate of change in throttle valve opening equal to or less than a predetermined value, and a rate of change in the basic speed change ratio, which is set on the basis of operating conditions, equal to or less than a predetermined value, the speed change speed is faster than at the time of an up-shift requirement with throttle valve closure.

Abstract:
In a railway-car total heat exchange ventilation system for railway-car air-conditioning ventilation equipment, a value of heat load outside the car, calculated on the basis of the difference between the external air temperature detected by the car-exterior temperature detection sensor and the temperature inside the car detected by the car-interior temperature detection sensor, is compared with a value of heat load inside the car, calculated by multiplying the amount of average heat generation per passenger by the current number of people on board inside the car calculated from the passenger weight detected by the passenger weight detection device. A variation in a future temperature inside the car is predicted, and switching between a heat exchange operation of the heat exchanger and a normal operation is carried out on the basis of the predicted result, so that the comfort inside the car is maintained.

Abstract:
A steady state transmission ratio Base i is computed from a vehicle speed VPS and a throttle opening TVO (S1). An output shaft revolution speed No of the transmission and a current transmission ratio i are detected (S2, S3). A coefficient TTINR is computed from a difference or a ratio or the like between the steady state transmission ratio Base i and the current transmission ratio i (S4). Then, from the current transmission ratio i, the output shaft revolution speed No and the coefficient TTINR, a shift speed SV=TTINR/(IE.times.i.times.No) is computed (S5). Then a shift control is performed in accordance with the shift speed SV so as to approach to the steady state transmission ratio Base i (S6.about.S9). Thus, the shift speed during shifting in a continuously variable transmission is controlled in consideration of inertia torque.
Abstract:
In order to optimize the speed change control of a continuously variable transmission, a necessary minimum primary pressure (Ppmin) for achieving speed change ratio control, a necessary minimum line pressure (Plmin) for the non occurrence of slippage between a secondary pulley 3 and a belt 4, and a required speed change ratio line pressure (Plratio) which can realize a target speed change ratio without slippage on the primary pulley 2 side are computed. The highest of these is then selected, and a final output line pressure (Plprs) then obtained based on the selected line pressure. By using this line pressure (Plprs) to control a secondary pulley actuator 3a, slipping of the belt 4 can be prevented and a target speed change ratio achieved, with an extremely simple construction compared to that of conventional arrangements.
Abstract:
A passenger compartment duct is provided with a passenger compartment air blow opening through which air is supplied into a passenger compartment and a cab-air-supply-duct communicating opening communicating with a cab air supply duct. The cab air supply duct is provided with a cab air blow opening through which air is supplied into a cab and a passenger-compartment-duct communicating opening communicating with the passenger compartment air supply duct. There are provided a damper turning communication from the passenger compartment air supply duct to the cab air supply duct ON or OFF, a cab air outlet through which air in the cab is discharged to the outside of the cab, and a damper opening or closing the cab air outlet. The cab air outlet includes a first outlet opened so as to communicate with an air intake side of cab air-conditioning units and a second outlet opened so as to communicate with the passenger compartment. The damper selectively discharges air in the cab to either the outside air intake side of the cab air-conditioning units or the passenger compartment.
