To improve convenience of an operation for power supply control in a charging service, a power supply control apparatus according to the present disclosure includes: an acquisition unit that acquires, by using an information acquisition apparatus, user determination information that determines a user; an inquiry destination determination unit that determines information about an inquiry destination terminal of the user, based on the user determination information; a transmission/reception unit that transmits inquiry information about use of a power supply apparatus to the inquiry destination terminal; and a control unit that controls a power supply from the power supply apparatus in response to a response to the inquiry information.

While specific embodiments of the invention have been shown and described in detail to illustrate the application of the principles of the invention, it will be understood that the invention may be embodied otherwise without departing from such principles.

A failure determination device of a hybrid vehicle, includes an engine, a motor arranged in series with the engine, a clutch arranged between the motor and a driving wheel, a pressure adjusting mechanism that adjusts hydraulic pressure supplied to the clutch, and that performs wet start clutch control for adjusting the hydraulic pressure, supplied to the clutch at least upon starting, to the hydraulic pressure causing the clutch to slip, and a controller configured to calculate required driving force on the basis of accelerator opening, and calculate torque capacity of the clutch, required for transmitting the required driving force by the clutch, as target torque capacity, calculate actual torque of the engine and actual torque of the motor, and calculate a torque deviation as a deviation between the target torque capacity and a sum of the actual torque of the engine and the actual torque of the motor.

In order to provide solutions for soiling problems and corrosion problems in the area between a pole ring (41) and the hub interior, arranged behind it, of a wheel hub assembly having a wheel hub (1) which ends inside the vehicle in a hub section (50) whose internal circumference (15) defines an opening (55) for the central passage of the stub axle (6) and on which a fastening device (42) of a pole ring (41) of an ABS sensor is mounted, wherein a pulse generator section (43) which is embodied in one piece with the fastening section (42) is a component of the pole ring (41), which pulse generator section (43) extends from the fastening section (42) to the wheel hub axis (A) and is provided with openings (44, 44L) distributed uniformly in the circumferential direction; in a first embodiment the pole ring (41) extends with its pulse generator section (43) towards the wheel hub axis (A) to such an extent that the opening (55) between the wheel hub (1) and stub axle (6) is for the most part covered towards the interior of the hub. In a second embodiment, at least some of the openings or slots have an extent (RL) towards the outside which is greater than the extent (R) which is necessary for sensing. Furthermore, it is proposed with respect to the pole ring (41) that some of the openings (44L) or slots have an extent (RL) towards the outside which is greater than the extent (R) of other openings (44) or slots.

The present invention relates to a wheel cover and to a wheel hub arrangement, wherein the wheel cover has a shielding section, which shields a gap formed between a hub and the wheel cover, and wherein a wheel hub arrangement is provided, in which a seal element is arranged in a gap formed between a wheel cover and the hub, which seal element is embodied as a profile seal.

An apparatus of the subject technology comprises a battery pack configured to provide power for an electrical vehicle (EV), and a motor powered by a fuel supplied by a fuel tank and configured to provide mechanical power for one or more electrical machines. The one or more electrical machines are configured to generate a direct current (DC) voltage for keeping the battery pack fully charged, and the battery pack, the motor and the one or more electrical machines are enclosed in a battery-system enclosure.

Vehicle wheels and methods of making vehicle wheels are provided. A vehicle wheel comprises a generally annular first region, a second region, and a flange extension. The first region comprises an inner surface and an outer surface comprising a tire bead seat. The second region extends radially inwardly from the first region. The second region is configured to mount to a vehicle axle. The flange extension extends from the first region in a direction away from the second region. The flange extension comprises a first extension end integral with the first region, a second extension end, and an elongate portion intermediate the first extension end and the second extension end. The elongate portion comprising a first portion with a thickness less than a thickness of the second extension end.

A method for setting a cruise control function with automatic distance setting in a single-track vehicle. In the method, a side distance between two preceding single-track vehicles is ascertained, a threshold value is determined as a function of the side distance, the side distance between one's own single-track vehicle and a preceding single-track vehicle is ascertained, and the preceding single-track vehicle is used as the target vehicle to be followed in the event that the side distance between one's own single-track vehicle and the preceding single-track vehicle is less than or equal to the threshold value.
