Power conversion apparatus

A power conversion apparatus has a configuration in which plate-like bus-bars are laminated via an insulating material to define a pair of bus-bars. A laminated bus-bar, in which the pair of bus-bars is disposed vertically so that a width direction thereof is in a vertical direction, includes a pair of voltage measuring terminals that is correspondingly branched from a part of the pair of bus-bars to extend toward a circuit board. The pair of voltage measuring terminals is arranged symmetrically with respect to the pair of bus-bars to extend upward toward the circuit board, while extending in an intersecting direction intersecting with the pair of bus-bars, to be electrically connected to the circuit board.

A circuit board is provided with a plurality of arms and a heat radiation plate. The insulating substrate of the each of the arms includes: a passive element region to which a passive element is connected; an active element region to which an active element is connected; and a wiring region on which wiring lines of the element group are laid. In the each of the arms, the passive element region, the active element region and the wiring region align in a lengthwise direction of the insulating substrate, and the passive element region and the wiring region are arranged on both sides of the active element region which is located centrally.

Circuit board including a heat radiating plate

There is provided a semiconductor device including: a circuit board formed by bonding a first and a second metal plates to both surfaces of an insulating substrate respectively, at least one semiconductor element to be bonded to an external surface of the first metal plate through a first solder, and a radiating base plate to be bonded to an external surface of the second metal plate through a second solder, wherein the first and the second solders are constituted by solder materials of the same type, and a ratio of a sum of thicknesses of the first and the second metal plates to a thickness of the insulating substrate is set in a predetermined range to ensure an endurance to a temperature stress of each of the first and the second solders.

A fuel gas filling system for a vehicle having a supply section and a fuel lid, which includes an opening operation section to which an opening operation for the fuel lid is applied, an operation wire, which is provided between the opening operation section and the fuel lid, for making the fuel lid respond to the opening operation applied to the opening operation section, and a locking device having a movable element, a fixed element, a lock pin, and an actuator. The actuator is adapted to make the lock pin to be engaged with the fixed element and the movable element when the vehicle is not in a stationary state.

Fuel gas filling system

A gas discharge structure for gaseous fuel includes a discharge pipe leading gaseous fuel that has leaked to the outside of a vehicle. A discharge port of the discharge pipe is faced toward a space formed below a gap between a roof and a tailgate.

A processional travel control apparatus allows processional travel with a group of vehicles including a leading vehicle and a following vehicle automatically following the leading vehicle. An object vehicle includes a device for sending a request to separate from or join the processional travel, to the leading vehicle. The leading vehicle includes a device for permitting or rejecting the request from the object vehicle. When the leading vehicle permits the request, the object vehicle is switched by a mode switching device between automatic driving, in which the following vehicle automatically follows the leading vehicle, ans manual driving by a driver.

Processional travel control apparatus

When a user enters a destination using a touch panel display unit, a system control unit calculates a predicted travel distance from a present position to the destination, determines an electric vehicle having a remaining battery capacity required to travel the calculated predicted travel distance, and supplies the determined electric vehicle to the user.

Electric vehicle sharing system

A steering shaft is supported for tilting-up and tilting-down movements by a pivot mechanism, which includes a base member fixed to a steering hanger in an instrument panel, on arm member pivotably supported on the base member through a fulcrum pin, and holder which support the steering shaft on the arm member. When the steering shaft is pulled forwards and downwards as a result of collision of the vehicle, the end of the forward and downward turning of the arm member is inhibited by the contact of a ceiling wall of the arm member with a stopper face of a stopper, thereby preventing tilting-up of the steering shaft.

Tilt-type steering device

Disclosed is a suspension having an improved transverse leaf spring with its longitudinal axis extending transversely of a car body. The leaf spring is operatively associated at opposite ends with the right and left wheels of a car and is curved along its intermediate length in the direction in which the car moves ahead or back. The curved portion may be along a full length of the leaf spring or along a length defines between support points on the leaf spring, and in the latter case, lengths extending from the respective support points to the ends of the leaf spring most adjacent thereto remain linear to form linear portions extending substantially perpendicularly with respect to respective suspension arm rocking shafts. Various forms of support elements are described for securing the leaf spring for only pivotal movement about one of the support points and both pivotal and linear movement about the other thereof.

Transverse leaf spring type suspension

In a motor disc brake system using an electric motor as a drive source of a thrust generating device that can move a piston in advancing and retracting directions, a slide bearing is interposed between a piston and a brake caliper carrying the piston for receiving a side thrust which is applied from a friction pad to the piston during braking. This serves to suppress increase in the slide resistance of the piston even under the action of such side thrust, enabling a strong braking force to be provided with use of a motor of small capacity.

A power unit mounting structure in a motor vehicle includes a power unit comprising an engine having a crankshaft, a transmission coupled to the crankshaft of the engine, and a differential interposed between drive axles connected to a pair of laterally spaced front road wheels of the motor vehicle and the transmission. The power unit is mounted in a front portion of the motor vehicle with its center of gravity positioned rearwardly of the drive axles extending from the differential toward front road wheels serving as the drive road wheels. A steering gearbox extends parallel to the drive axles and is disposed forwardly of the drive axles.

A suspension device in a motor vehicle has at least one component separate from a damper and to which vertical movement of a road wheel can be transmitted. The component comprises a resilient member supported on a vehicle body at a portion spaced from another portion operatively coupled to the road wheel, for giving vertical resiliency to the road wheel. The suspension device also has a counteracting load mechanism for applying a counteracting load which is variable dependent on an amount of flexing of a section of the component caused by vertical movement of the road wheel. The suspension device further includes a vehicle height adjusting mechanism operatively coupled to the counteracting load means for varying a static counteracting load of the counteracting load mechanism when the motor vehicle is at rest, to thereby vertically displace the section of the component for adjusting the height of the motor vehicle.
