A wireless power transfer system is configured in such a way that: a power transmitter coil and a power receiver coil each include a coil unit, the coil unit being a pair of coils arranged side by side in a horizontal direction, and a core unit, the core unit being a pair of cores each configured to induce a magnetic field generated by each of the coils; each core of the core unit is integrated with each coil and the cores are arranged spaced apart from each other; and each core of the core unit is provided with a core slot that divides the core at a position where the core slot configures the core to be substantially axisymmetric about a centerline that is at the same distance from each coil of the pair of coils as an axis of symmetry.

In a method for producing a molded article having a resin part, the resin part is injection-molded to an opening of a main body part and the molded article has an excellent air-tightness between the resin part and the main body part. A foam sealant is attached to a peripheral portion around the opening of the main body part. Attached to the main body part is a retainer made of the same kind of resin as injected resin and adapted to keep the foam sealant compressed in its thickness direction. The main body part is placed within a mold so that the retainer is exposed inside a cavity of the mold. A molten resin is injected into the cavity of the mold. The injected resin and the retainer are integrated into the resin part.

A case with a connector integrally formed with a resin connector, and can be manufactured with a small number of processes is provided. The connector case includes a housing, a resin connector, and a ground terminal extending along an outer periphery of the connector. A terminal-side fixing portion extending backward from the ground terminal is crimped to or pressed over a housing-side fixing portion. When molds are closed after the housing and the ground terminal are placed in the molds for injection molding of the resin connector, a pressing portion formed on the mold presses the terminal-side fixing portion against the housing-side fixing portion to crimp or press the terminal-side fixing portion to or over the housing-side fixing portion. As a result, in the process for the injection molding of the connector, the ground terminal is fixed to the housing at the same time. The connector case with the ground terminal fixed to the housing can be manufactured in a small number of processes.

Case with connector and manufacturing method thereof

An automotive vehicle having a pre-selected function, and including a controller which controls an object and includes a plurality of redundant elements which are redundant with each other, and a function restraining portion which partially or fully restrains the function of the vehicle, when a pre-selected failure which has occurred to one of the redundant elements has not solved before another of the redundant elements has operated for more than a pre-set time since the occurrence of the failure.

Automotive vehicle with redundant controller

A contactor () has a joint portion () which is jointed to each contactor pad () of one wiring board () by using a solder at one end portion thereof and a connecting portion () which is dip-soldered in each through hole () of the other wiring board () at the other end portion thereof. A housing () is constituted by integrally molding a housing main body (F) having a U-like shape as seen from a plane and a reinforcing bar portion () which connects intermediate portions of opposed parts (A) and (B) of the housing main body (F) with each other. Cavities () are substantially linearly formed in the housing main body (F) at predetermined intervals. The contactors () are inserted into cavities (), and the contactors () are movably held in the housing () with a holding member.

A motor vehicle control system including a differential for connecting vehicle wheels so as to permit differential actions of the wheels, a differential control device for controlling the differential, and a wheel rotation control device for controlling the rotation of the wheels, wherein the differential control device has an operator-controlled member whose output indicates a vehicle operator's desire, a vehicle condition detector for detecting the vehicle condition, a differential actuator for operating the differential so as to control the differential actions of the wheels, and a differential controller for controlling the actuator based on the outputs of the operator-controlled member and the vehicle condition detector, the system having a differential state detector whose output indicates the operating state of the differential, and a wheel rotation control determining device operated on the basis of the outputs of the operator-controlled member, differential state detector and vehicle condition detedtor, for determining whether a normal operation of the rotation control device should be permitted or inhibited.

Vehicle control system having differential control device and wheel

A vehicle speed detecting apparatus wherein the speeds of vehicle wheels are detected by wheel speed detecting devices, and the vehicle running speed is estimated by a vehicle speed estimating device, on the basis of the detected wheel speeds, and according to a predetermined estimation rule. The vehicle speed estimating device includes a noise detector for detecting a noise included in any one of the detected wheel speeds, and a rule changing device for changing the estimation rule depending upon whether the noise is included in the detected wheel speed or speeds.
