Abstract: A three-dimensional object is formed by selectively depositing successive layers (14) of build material from a print-head (9) having a plurality of orifices or nozzles (10(1)-10(96)), such as an ink-jet type of print-head. The print-head (9) is moved (X-Y control) relative to a support platform (15) in a series of scans in the X-direction offset from one another in the Y-direction and possibly overlapping. The orifices (10(1)-10(96)) extend transversely of the scan X-direction and may be set at an angle (α) to it to control the resolution perpendicular to the scan direction. The platform (15) is movable relative to the print-head in the Z-direction for forming each successive layer (14). The build material is a flowable material and may be a radiation-curable material, such as an ultra-violet curable photo-polymer. The data according to which each layer is formed may be manipulated according to a selected build style to determine the selective activation of the print-head orifices.

Abstract: A high fuel consumption efficiency hybrid car is realized by the control system, on which at least a hybrid engine which includes at least a first rotating electric machine which determines the rotational speed of the engine and a second rotating electric machine which determines the driving force of the car, and includes a power converting means connected to the output shaft of the engine and a storage means are mounted. A car driving power request value pv* is read and stored in the memory in a step S5100. Further, as the negative judgements are made in steps S5102 and S5104, the processing is advanced to a step S5106. In the step S5106, an engine characteristics map shown in Fig. (8) is referred to and an operation point (Fig. 8, point C) at which the highest efficiency for the engine (1) to output the car driving power request value Pv* (Fig. 8, curve B) is obtained is determined and an engine speed command value Ne* is determined to update the data stored in a memory. Further, in a step S5108, an engine characteristics map shown in Fig. 9 is referred to, a throttle opening degree target value υTH* which is the opening degree of a throttle valve (5) for maintaining the operation point (Fig. 8, point C) is determined and a sucked air quantity regulation value TH is calculated in accordance with the throttle opening degree target value υTH* to update the data stored in the memory. Further, in a step S5122, as the sucked air quantity regulation value TH is controlled by a sucked air quantity regulating means (6), the output corresponding to the car driving power request value Pv* can be generated by the engine (1).
