An active material free part of a positive electrode is coated with an over-coat material, wherein the over-coat material has at least one of the following properties: suppression of heat transfer from the second part of the electrode to the separator; reduction of a heat transfer rate from the second part of the electrode to the separator; prevention of transfer of excess heat from the second part of the electrode to the separator; electrical isolation of the second part of the electrode from the separator; prevention of charges generated in the first active material from becoming concentrated in the second part of the electrode and discharged from the second part; and prevention of the separator from being melted by a current discharge from or into the second part of the electrode through the separator until the current discharge is shut down by a fuse function of the separator.

An indicator is also disclosed that reveals when the male terminal has been completely inserted into a hole of the female terminal.

A charging apparatus for charging batteries of automobiles includes an inverter for converting the direct current from a direct current power source into an alternating current and a transformer having a first coil and a second coil. When an alternating current from the inverter is applied to the first coil, the second coil produces an alternating voltage. A capacitor is connected between the terminals of the second coil to increase the alternating voltage produced in the second coil. A rectifier circuit rectifies the alternating voltage increased in the booster circuit into a direct current voltage and the direct current voltage is applied to the battery. Two transistors, which function as a short circuit, are provided in the rectifier circuit. When the direct current voltage from the rectifier circuit is equal to or higher than a predetermined permissible value, a drive signal from a drive circuit turns on the two transistors. Then, the terminals of the second coil are short-circuited and the voltage applied to the terminals instantaneously turns null. This protects the elements forming the charging apparatus from high voltage.

In the throttle valve control system for controlling a throttle valve by an actuator driven on the basis of PWM command signals generated according to accel pedal stroke and feed-backed throttle sensor signals, the throttle sensor signal obtained when the throttle valve is full closed is stored; the throttle sensor signal obtained when a full-close PWM command signal is applied to the actuator is detected; the full-close PWM command signal is corrected so that the stored throttle sensor signal matches the detected throttle sensor signal; and PWM command signals are generated on the basis of the corrected full-close PWM command signal. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a full-close PWM command signal whose pulse width accurately matches the actual throttle valve full-close position, irrespective of error or offset due to dispersion of the throttle sensor characteristic or A-D conversion characteristic of the control system.

Throttle valve control system and the method therefor

A control strategy is disclosed wherein a desired driving force is determined based on sensed input signals and a throttle actuator and a reduction ratio actuator are actuated so that the engine can produce the desired driving force without deviating from the predetermined best fuel economy curve.
