    摘要: A control device includes a deceleration flex-torque calculation unit that calculates a target torque capacity of a lock-up clutch when a state of the lock-up clutch is controlled to a deceleration flex control state, an acceleration flex-torque calculation unit that calculates a target torque capacity of the lock-up clutch when the state of the lock-up clutch is controlled to an acceleration flex control state, and a control unit that controls a torque capacity of the lock-up clutch to a target torque capacity calculated by the acceleration flex-torque calculation unit, during a period until a target torque capacity calculated by the acceleration flex-torque calculation unit falls below a target torque capacity calculated by the deceleration flex-torque calculation unit, when the state of the lock-up clutch is shifted from the acceleration flex control state to the deceleration flex control state.

    摘要: An actuation mechanism for use in a vehicle. The actuation mechanism includes one or more motors having an output shaft with a sun gear. At least a portion of the sun gear is drivingly connected to at least a portion of one or more planetary gears. The one or more planetary gears are drivingly connected to at least a portion of a carrier, a fixed non-rotating ring gear and an output gear. The disclosure further relates to a method of operating an actuation mechanism that is drivingly connected to at least a portion of a vehicle parking mechanism. The method includes providing an actuation mechanism, providing a parking mechanism and one or more sensors that are operably configured to collect an amount of data to be analyzed. Based on the data analyzed, one or more failures within the parking mechanism may be determined and an alert may be sent.
