Method for manufacturing a lithographic printing plate

In a hybrid drive device which drives an electrical motor with electrical power from a storage device and/or from a generator driven by an engine, a secondary battery is generally used as the storage device. However, the storage device must be replaced at fixed intervals due to a short battery life. In addition, the low charging/discharging efficiency of a secondary battery limits improvements in fuel economy of the drive device. The present invention avoids these shortcomings by providing a storage device that includes a condenser bank with a plurality of condenser cells connected in series, parallel monitors which are connected in parallel to each condenser cell and which bypasses the charging current when the respective terminal voltages exceed a fixed value, and a switching converter with fixed current output characteristics which controls the charging electrical power to the condenser bank. This arrangement allows the present invention to realize improvements in fuel economy and reductions in the running costs of a hybrid drive device.

Hybrid drive device

A vehicle has a power extraction mechanism , which transmits the rotation of the power transmission mechanism to the auxiliary machines , a solenoid clutch , which enables or disables the transmission of rotation to the auxiliary machines by the power extraction mechanism, and a determination device , which determines whether a control system of the motor for auxiliary machines is operating abnormally or normally. The solenoid clutch is maintained in a disengaged state when the control system of the motor for the auxiliary machines is operating normally. In contrast, when an abnormality is detected in the control system, the auxiliary machines are driven by the rotational force of the power transmission mechanism because the solenoid clutch is engaged at that time. In this manner, it is possible to maintain normal operation of the vehicle by driving the auxiliary machines even when there is an abnormality in the control system.

A hybrid vehicle includes a generator driven by an internal combustion engine, a battery charged by the generator and an electric motor driven by the generator and the battery. A drive system transmits the output of the motor to wheels of the vehicle. When, and only when, adequate power cannot be provided by the motor to the wheels because of a fault, an emergency drive indicator issues a command to a power transmitting mechanism, which is responsive only to the command signal to directly transmit the output of the engine to the drive system.
