METHOD OF CONTROLLING LIMP HOME DRIVING OF HYBRID VEHICLE
The present disclosure is to provide a method of controlling limp home driving of a hybrid vehicle. When the hybrid vehicle enters into a limp home driving mode with a starter generator malfunctioning, a motor control unit performs constant voltage control on counter electromotive force of a motor, so that a constant voltage is supplied to high-voltage components as an input voltage, thereby ensuring that high-voltage components are protected and operable.

DRIVING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE
A vehicle driving apparatus includes: an engine; first and second rotary electric machines; a fluid transmission device including an input-side rotary element to which the engine and the first rotary electric machine are connected; and a control device configured to control an operation point of the engine by adjusting an electrical path amount in an electrical path between the first and second rotary electric machines. When a certain running mode is established, the control device is configured to correct the electrical path amount to an increased electrical path amount while maintaining an power of the engine requested by an operation of a vehicle driver, and to drive the second rotary electric machine, while controlling an output torque of the first rotary electric machine such that the electrical path amount transferred from the first rotary electric machine to the second rotary electric machine becomes the increased electrical path amount.
INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION METHODS AND SYSTEMS
A method for providing electrical power at locations where shore power is unavailable, such as construction sites, remote utility sites, etc. Particularly, the method comprises simultaneously providing significant three phase power and significant single phase power. For example, in various instances the method comprises providing three phase power via generator of an integrated electrical power generation system, wherein the provided three phase power can be at least 50% of the rated power output of the generator, and simultaneously providing single phase power via a no-idle subsystem of the integrated power generation system, wherein the provided single phase power can be at least 3% of the rated power output of the generator.

Air induction system with water detection
A vehicle includes an internal combustion engine and an air induction system configured to provide intake air to the internal combustion engine. The air induction system includes an intake port, an air box coupled to the intake port and having a wet side air box and a dry side air box, at least one sensor disposed within the air box and configured to detect a presence or level of liquid within the air box, and a watertight door disposed within the air box and configured to move between an open position that allows air to pass through the air box dry side, and a closed position that facilitates preventing liquid from passing into the air box dry side.
ELECTRIFIED MILITARY VEHICLE
An energy storage system for a military vehicle includes a lower support, a battery supported on the lower support, a bracket coupled to the battery, and an upper isolator mount coupled between the bracket and a wall. The upper isolator mount is configured to provide front-to-back vibration isolation of the battery relative to the wall.
Method of Thickening Cosmetic Composition
A method of thickening cosmetics containing a crosslinked water-swellable polymer, or a microgel obtained by pulverizing a hydrophilic compound having gelation ability. The method comprises adding a linear polyacrylic acid or a salt thereof, or a linear poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) or a salt thereof, having a weight-average molecular weight of 500,000 to 8,000,000, which has a thread length of 10 mm or less at room temperature when formed into a 1% by mass solution. The method provides cosmetics having an improved viscoelastic ratio, with a rich and full-bodied feeling upon application.
