Abstract

A vehicle management system according to the present invention is applied to an electric vehicle using an electric motor as a power device for traveling. The vehicle management system generates sound and outputs the sound through a speaker mounted on an electric vehicle. The vehicle management system acquires driving state information indicating a driving state of the electric vehicle. The vehicle management system acquires, on the basis of the driving state information, a positive driving level indicating a level of safe driving and/or eco-driving of the electric vehicle. The vehicle management system changes the sound and/or changes a choice of the sound according to the positive driving level.

Abstract

The present invention acquires setting information regarding the operation modes of an electric vehicle. When a mode switch of the operation mode is detected on the basis of the setting information, a notification sound for notifying a driver of the mode switch is output from a speaker. The operation modes include a custom mode in which is performed at least one of output control of an electric motor based on operation information of a manual driving element of the electric vehicle and output control of a pseudo engine sound generated on the basis of the operation information. The output form of the notification sound output from the speaker upon detection of switching to the custom mode differs from that of the notification sound output from the speaker upon detection of switching from the custom mode.

Abstract

Provided is a novel manufacturing method with which it is possible to obtain a metal joined body in which a high tensile strength steel plate or a hot stamp steel plate etc. is firmly joined with an aluminum base body. The present invention is a method for manufacturing a metal joined body, the method comprising an energization step for energizing joining sections of a steel plate sandwiched and held by electrodes and an aluminum base body. The thickness of the part to be joined of the steel plate is 1-3.5 mm. The energization step is carried out by energizing 3-9.5 kA for 300-1200 ms. The energization step may be composed of a first energization step for energizing 200-400 ms in 3-8 kA and a second energization step for energizing 300-700 ms in 5-9 kA. According to the manufacturing method of the present invention, a metal joined body is obtained in which a steel sheet and an aluminum base body are joined with an intermetallic compound layer interposed therebetween.

Abstract

The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a substrate cleaning device capable of removing a substance to be removed that is adhered to a cleaning surface of a substrate while suppressing the use amount of the cleaning liquid. A mist ejection unit (21) ejects a relay mist gas (MG1) including cleaning liquid mist (MT) along the mist ejection direction (F21). An air knife (23) blows air gas (AG1) to the relay mist gas (MG1) along the air gas blowing direction (FG1) during the period in which the operation of conveying a substrate (1) by the conveyance means is performed, to join the air gas (AG1) to the relay mist gas (MG1), and thereby a cleaning mist gas (MG2) is obtained. A first air gas blowing process is thus conducted. The cleaning mist gas (MG2), which is supplied by the first air gas blowing process, is directly blown onto the surface of the substrate (1) to be conveyed.

Abstract

This control device (2) mounted on a vehicle comprises a processor (21) and a memory (22) which is a non-transitory tangible recording medium for storing program instructions used by the processor. The processor executes the following processes by executing the program instructions stored in the memory. The processor executes lane deviation prevention control on the basis of the result of recognizing the road situation at a travel destination of the vehicle. The processor estimates, on the basis of the result of recognizing a zebra zone adjacent to the lane in which a vehicle is currently traveling, an entrance accuracy corresponding to the probability the vehicle will enter the zebra zone. The processor suppresses the execution of the lane deviation prevention control to a greater degree when the entrance accuracy is higher.
