摘要:
A gel actuator includes: a gel having a projected part made of an inductive high-polymer material; a positive electrode disposed so as to be in contact with a top of the projected part; and a negative electrode disposed in a position sandwiching the projected part in a height direction in cooperation with the positive electrode. When voltage is applied between the positive and negative electrodes, creep deformation occurs so that the projected parts adhere to the positive electrode side, and the gel contracts in the thickness direction.

A control device executes a gear change control based on a first gear change map, in which the accelerator operation amount and the vehicle speed are used as parameters to define gear change timings, if a brake device is not actuated while the vehicle is running, and executes the gear change control based on a second gear change map, in which the brake actuation pressure and the vehicle speed are used as parameters to define gear change timings that positively utilize engine braking, if the brake device is actuated while the vehicle is running. The control device allows an automatic transmission to execute the gear change control in which engine braking is positively utilized according to conditions, contributing to diversified gear change control.

A failure determining apparatus for a gas-insulated electrical appliance where the appliance is a cylindrical metal container with a charged conductor, insulating gas, and a plurality of insulating spaces inside for supporting the conductor and partitioning the container. The failure determining apparatus has a high-speed developing sensor which detects a high-speed phenomenon caused by a failure within the gas sections; a first failure determining circuit which determines the presence of a failure from an output of the high-speed developing sensor; a low-speed developing sensor which detects a low-speed phenomenon caused by a failure within the gas sections; a second failure determining circuit which determines the presence of a failure from an output of the low-speed developing sensor; and an arithmetic control circuit which identifies a gas section of the metal container in which a failure occurs from an output of the first and second failure determining circuits.
摘要:
In a method for fabricating an LSI in which primitive devices such as transistors are formed on a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of interconnect layers are formed thereover to provide sub-circuits of successively larger scale and increasing complexity including sub-circuits which are formed by a connection of the primitive devices and sub-circuits of a larger scale which are formed by a connection of the sub-circuits, under a condition that an intermediate interconnect layer is formed, an exhaustive test, a functional test, a stuck-at fault test, a quiescent power supply current test or the like takes place with respect to the primitive devices or the sub-circuits which are wired together by the intermediate interconnect layer, and subsequently, a wiring connection test takes place after the formation of each subsequent interconnect layer. A fault coverage is improved while a testing cost and a fabricating cost are reduced.
摘要:
A method for promoting fusion of plant protoplasts comprising the steps of; (a) treating the plant protoplasts with a fusion agent, and then (b) incubating the resultant plant protoplasts in an incubation medium having an osmotic pressure lower than that required for maintaining the plant protoplasts in a stable form. This effectively promotes the fusion of the plant protoplasts at a higher fusion rate in a wider range of plants.

摘要:
In a control apparatus for a powertrain that includes an automatic transmission, occurrence of slip in a one-way clutch is determined when one gear is formed if a first rotation member and a second rotation member of the one-way clutch rotate relatively. If slip in the one-way clutch is detected, it is determined whether the rotational speed difference between the first rotation member and the second rotation member has increased. If the rotational speed difference between the first rotation member and the second rotation member has increased when slip is detected in the one-way clutch, a control is executed to engage a predetermined frictional engagement element.
