A controller for controlling a multi-phase motor is described. The controller may be configured to drive a first virtual multi-phase motor in an active mode and drive a second virtual multi-phase motor in a passive mode. In the active mode, at least a portion of a reference torque is distributed to the first virtual multi-phase motor. In the passive mode, zero torque is distributed to the second virtual multi-phase motor.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided for map matching probe data to map elements. Methods may include: receiving a plurality of probe data points, where each probe data point includes location information associated with the probe apparatus and time information associated with the location information; establishing locations of the probe data points of a probe apparatus temporally sequenced along a path; establishing a radius around each of the probe data points; identifying map elements found within each radius; filtering probe data points to obtain a subset of probe data points; establishing correspondences between map elements found within each radius of the subset of probe data points; and map matching the subset of probe data points to one or more road segments based on the correspondences between map elements found within each radius of the subset of probe data points.

A start-stop vehicle includes an engine configured to automatically stop and start during travel. The vehicle further includes a gear lever, a brake pedal, and a controller. The controller is programmed to restart the engine or inhibit restarting of the engine depending upon one or more sets of conditions of the vehicle. A method is also present for operating the vehicle based upon the one or more sets of conditions.

The invention concerns a portable power supply system (30) intended to supply a remotely controlled, electrically driven work machine (1) with electrical power, where the work machine is of the type that demonstrates a propulsion means that includes continuous tracks (8b) and is equipped with a maneuverable arm (10) intended to carry a tool at its free end, and electric motor (19) that is connected to a hydraulic pump (20) and is intended to supply the operating means (8c, 10a) of the machine with a hydraulic medium, whereby the work machine is intended to be connected under normal operation to a primary source of power (30a) via an electrical cable (2′), which primary source of power includes a fixed alternating current electricity distribution grid at the location. In order to be able to supply the current that is required it comprises a DC energy-storage arrangement (29) that, including a secondary source of power (30b), can store energy and, when necessary, supply energy in electrical form; a coupling arrangement (31, 33, 34, 34′) that makes it possible to choose between connecting the primary (30a) or the secondary (30b) source of power to the electric motor in order to drive the same.

A control device includes: an input unit to which a first signal is input from a detection unit detecting an operation for an opening-closing body; and a control unit generates a second signal for operating the opening-closing body, based on the first signal, wherein the control unit can be switched between a first power consumption mode and a second power consumption mode in which less power is consumed, and the control unit can be switched between a first state where the second power consumption mode is switched to the first power consumption mode, based on a first condition, and a second state where the second power consumption mode is switched to the first power consumption mode, based on a second condition on which the second power consumption mode is less likely to be switched to the first power consumption mode.

A ramping subsystem of a control system for a dual path electronically controlled hydrostatic transmission is used to modify the commanded rate of change of pump and motor acceleration, deceleration and direction change command (performed to command machine motion from forward to reverse or vice versa) in order to achieve desired machine performance and operator feel. Pump and motor acceleration, deceleration and direction change command rates are then further modified using scaling tables based on selected maximum machine speed using operator input device.

An ECU sets a voltage of an inverter side in an external supply mode to be less than a voltage of the inverter side when a first MG supplies the electric power equal to the electric power in the external supply mode in a traveling generation mode.

A motor control device includes a motor drive circuit and a microcomputer that controls the drive circuit. The microcomputer generates a control signal on the basis of duty command values Du, Dv, and Dw to control the drive circuit. The microcomputer includes a dead time compensation section that corrects the duty command values Du, Dv, and Dw on the basis of dead time compensation values Ddu, Ddv, and Ddw. The dead time compensation section includes a basic compensation value computation section that computes a basic compensation value Dd as a fundamental value of the dead time compensation values Ddu, Ddv, and Ddw, and a filter section that performs a filtering process corresponding to a low-pass filter on the basic compensation value Dd. The dead time compensation section sets the dead time compensation values Ddu, Ddv, and Ddw on the basis of an output value α from the filter section.
