Fuel cell system

A fuel cell system of the present invention includes a fuel cell, a reformer which has a combustor and supplies hydrogen containing gas to the fuel cell, and a compressor for supplying oxygen containing gas to the fuel cell. In this fuel cell system, the component devices of the fuel cell system are defrosted by heating in which the exhaustion gas from the combustor is directly utilized and by heating in which the oxygen containing gas heated by the exhaustion gas from the combustor is utilized.

Fuel cell system having a defrosting function

A creep preventive arrangement wherein a start-up pressure regulating valve discharges fluid from a servo chamber of a start-up clutch when a clutch piston assumes a predetermined creep preventive position, and a start-up detecting valve prohibits the fluid discharge from the servo chamber when a torque converter output revolution speed exceeds a predetermined value.

Creep preventive arrangement in automatic transmission

A shift shock alleviating apparatus is disclosed wherein an engagement force with which a friction element is engaged is controlled to cause an engine to change its revolution speed at a rate which is proportioned to a target rate of change in engine revolution speed after a predetermined condition is satisfied after a command for a shift is generated.
