Abstract
A battery control system for hybrid vehicle includes a hybrid powertrain battery, a vehicle accessory（付属品、装備）battery, and a prime mover（原動機）driven generator adapted to（構成、適合）charge the vehicle accessory battery. A detecting arrangement is configured to（構成）monitor the vehicle accessory battery's state of charge. A controller is configured to activate the prime mover to drive the generator and recharge the vehicle accessory battery in response to the vehicle accessory battery's state of charge falling below（分詞）a first predetermined（所定）level, or transfer electrical power from the hybrid powertrain battery to the vehicle accessory battery in response to the vehicle accessory battery's state of charge falling below a second predetermined level. The invention further includes a method for controlling a hybrid vehicle powertrain system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to hybrid motor vehicles and, more particularly, to a battery control system for controlling the state of charge of a hybrid vehicle battery.
2. Background of the Invention
Motor vehicle manufacturers are actively working to develop（開発、努力、日夜、積み重ね） alternative powertrain systems in an effort to（するため、目指し）reduce the level of pollutants exhausted into the air（空気中に排出される）by conventional powertrains equipped with internal combustion engines. Significant development efforts（開発の努力）have been directed to electric and fuel-cell vehicles. Unfortunately, these alternative powertrain systems suffer from several disadvantages（欠点）and, for all practical purposes（実際、実用上）, are still under development（開発途上）. However, "hybrid" vehicles, which are equipped with an internal combustion engine and an electric traction（走行用）motor that can be operated independently or in combination with the internal combustion engine to provide motive power（原動力）for the vehicle, offer a compromise between traditional internal combustion engine powered vehicles and full electric powered vehicles.
A hybrid vehicle is typically equipped with a relatively high voltage hybrid powertrain battery, for example a 340 V battery, which provides electrical power（電力）to the electric traction motor. Many hybrid vehicles are also equipped with a lower voltage battery, for example a 12 V battery, which provides power to various vehicle accessories, such as the vehicle radio, lights and other electrically operated equipment not powered by the hybrid powertrain battery. The charge level（充電状態）of the vehicle batteries is monitored（検出、監視、把握）according to an index known as the battery State of Charge, or SOC. The SOC is defined by a ratio of the amount of residual charge（残量）remaining in a battery relative to its full charge capacity. Presently（現在）, a battery's SOC may be measured using a combination of a measurement method utilizing a correlation between SOC and a battery's voltage-current characteristics at the time of（時）charging (or discharging) and a measurement method utilizing an accumulation of charged and discharged amounts.
In many hybrid vehicles, a battery control system controls charging (and discharging) of a battery based on the SOC. A limitation（欠点）of many hybrid battery control systems is that they fail to（できない）manage the lower voltage battery's charge level as（する時、しつつ、しながら）it supplies power to the vehicle accessories, particularly when the internal combustion engine is turned off. Failure to manage the lower voltage battery may result in the battery becoming depleted（消耗、劣化）. Accordingly, a need exists for（必要）an improved battery control system for a hybrid vehicle that monitors and controls a charged state of the lower voltage vehicle accessory battery to prevent the battery from becoming depleted.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to thermal sensing, and more specifically to methods and apparatus for a programmable thermal sensor in an integrated circuit.
ART BACKGROUND
Advances（進歩）in silicon process technology has lead to the development of increasingly larger（増々、ますます）die sizes for integrated circuits. The large dies sizes permit integration of millions of transistors on a single die. As（につれて）die sizes for integrated circuits become larger, the integrated circuits consume（消費）more power. In addition, advances in microprocessor computing require execution（実行）of a large number of instructions per second. To execute more instructions per second, the microprocessor circuits operate at an increased clock frequency. Therefore, a microprocessor containing over one million transistors may consume over 30 watts of power. With large amounts of power being dissipated, cooling becomes a problem（問題、課題となる）.
Typically, integrated circuits and printed circuit boards are cooled by either active or passive cooling devices. A passive cooling device, such as a heat sink mounted onto（取付）an integrated circuit, has a limited capacity to dissipate heat（放熱）. An active cooling device, such as a fan, is used to dissipate larger amounts of heat. Although a fan cooling system dissipates heat, there are several disadvantages associated with（関連する欠点、不利）such a system. Traditionally, fans cool integrated circuits by air convection circulated by a fan. However, when a fan is used in conjunction with（連携、共に、連動）a high density multi-chip computer system, a large volume of air is required for cooling thereby necessitating powerful blowers and large ducts. The powerful blowers and large ducts implemented（実装）in the computer occupy precious space and are too noisy. The removal of a cover or other casing may result in a disturbance of air flow causing the fan cooling system to fail. In addition, the fan cooling system is made up of（から成る、構成される）mechanical parts that have a mean time between failure (MTBF) specification（規格）less than a typical integrated circuit. Furthermore, fan cooling systems introduce noise and vibration into the system.
In addition to cooling systems, thermal sensors are implemented to track（把握）the temperature of an integrated circuit or electronic system. Typically, thermal sensors consist of（から成る）a thermocouple which is directly attached to a heat sink. In more sophisticated thermal sensing systems, a diode and external analog circuitry are used. In operation（動作時）, the voltage/current characteristics of the diode change（変化する）depending upon the temperature of the integrated circuit, and the external analog circuitry measures the voltage or current characteristics of the diode. The additional analog circuitry is complex and difficult to implement. In addition, employing the analog circuitry results in a thermal time delay degrading（低下、悪化）the accuracy of such a configuration（構成）. Moreover（更に、さらに）, external analog circuitry for sensing the voltage of the diode consumes a larger area than the integrated circuit being sensed（検知の対象）. Therefore, it is desirable to（望ましい） provide a thermal sensor which is incorporated into the integrated circuit. In addition（更に、さらに）, it is desirable to provide a thermal sensor that can provide feedback for an active cooling system. Furthermore（更に、さらに）, it is desirable to control the temperature of an integrated circuit without the use of a fan. The present invention provides an integrated thermal sensor that detects a threshold temperature so that active cooling of the integrated circuit is accomplished through system control.
NOTION AND NOMENCLATURE
The detailed descriptions which follow are presented, in part, in terms of（用いて、形式で） algorithms and symbolic representations（シンボル、記号による表現）of operations（動作、作用、演算）within a computer system. These algorithmic descriptions and representations are the means used by those skilled in the data processing arts（技術、分野）to most effectively convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art.
An algorithm is here（ここで）, and generally, conceived to be（考える）a self-consistent sequence of steps leading to a desired result. These steps are those requiring physical manipulations of physical quantities. Usually, though not necessarily, these quantities take the form of electrical or magnetic signals capable of being stored, transferred, combined, compared, and otherwise manipulated（操作）. It proves convenient at times（便利、有益である場合がある）, principally for reasons of common usage, to refer to these signals as bits, values, elements, symbols, characters, terms, numbers, or the like. It should be borne in mind, however, that（ことに留意すべき）all of these and similar terms are to be associated with the appropriate physical quantities and are merely convenient labels applied to these quantities.

明細書
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to computer-aided design (CAD) processes（複数）and, more particularly（より詳細には）, to a method for creating a three-dimensional CAD solid model of a component from the numerically controlled (NC) fabrication（製作）instructions（命令）for the component that were previously used to fabricate the component by NC machining procedures.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Many engineering designs of machined components in current use（現在使用されている）were initially developed. prior to or without the aid of CAD systems and, consequently（従って、その結果）, electronic representations of such designs do not exist. Accordingly, updating or making modifications to such component designs using current CAD processes requires first creating a computer-based digital representation of the component. Although methods have been developed for creation of computer-based representations from component drawings, photographs, and/or shop（仕事場、現場）measurements, these methods are tedious（面倒）, expensive, and often produce inaccurate results.
In cases where（の場合）a component has been fabricated using NC machining processes, the NC instruction file or "book" contains fabrication instructions for NC machines to follow to produce all or part of that（その）component from a piece of raw stock material（素材）, such as a metal billet. The stock material is often referred to in the CAD environment as a "tool solid." Broadly, the NC file describes the paths along which the fabrication machine operates one or more rotating cutting tools upon the tool solid to create the machined component.
Other processes have been used to generate engineering data from NC files; however, the output from these processes has been in the form of（の形、形式）point clouds and Stereo Lithography (STL) files, which are not fully compatible with（適合）modern CAD systems. As known in the art, a point cloud comprises（有する、成る）a plurality of coordinates for individual points that represent locations on the surface of an object. A point cloud can be generated through scanning or digitizing（デジタル化、二値化）. An STL format model represents the surface of an object by a plurality of triangles, each triangle defined by the coordinates of its three vertices and a single normal vector directed away from the object's surface. Thus, these methods require extensive processing of the output files before the results can be utilized on a CAD system. Accordingly, it would be desirable to have a reliable, inexpensive, and accurate method of creating a CAD solid model of a component from the machine fabrication instruction file used for its fabrication.
An authorized driver of a motor vehicle utilizing the instant invention uses protable transmitter 100 to activate and deactivate the motor vehicle as easily as does a driver using a standard mechanical key. More particularly, the portable transmitter is programmed by the driver to transmit coded identification signals at periodic intervals to the receiver located in the vehicle.
Once activated, the transmitter broadcasts identification signals at periodic intervals and the receiver, along with associated circuitry, decodes the identification signals and enables the vehicle only when at least one identification signal is received during each periodic interval.(US4159467)

年末28日のInternational NYTには安藤昇氏のObituary ("Noboru Ando, mobster and film star in Japan, dies at 89", by William Grimes, International New York Times, Dec. 28, 2015, page 2)が出ていましたが、そこにはthe Crouching Dragon Unitに入隊したとあります。なるほど伏龍隊の訳かと納得でしたが、それに続けて"attached themselves to the hulls of enemy ships"とある。確か棒の先端に爆薬を付けてそれを上陸用舟艇の船底にねじ込んで爆発させるはずで、さすがに自分自身の体を船体に張り付けるなんてことは無いだろうと思いました。こうやって国内外の天下の大新聞が誤解や偏見を世界中に広げるんでしょう。しかし考えてみればほんの数メートル先で爆発するので死ぬのは確実な特攻部隊だし、大差はないのかも知れません。
それにしても、安藤氏の背景、経歴から出演作品まで詳しく解説するんですから、戦後日本の一面を飾った特異な人物であったことは間違いないと思います。まあ国内のマスコミはヤクザ礼賛と捉えられても困るので大きく報道することもできないでしょうが。
ちなみにWikipediaによれば「回天」はHeaven Shaker、「震洋」はSea Quake、そもそも「神風」もDivine Windと、英語にすると猶更、大袈裟な名前が断末魔の悲痛な絶叫のようです。
