  • Publication number: 20230067874
    Abstract: A vehicle door opening device includes a lock control device configured to switch a door lock device to an unlocked state when an operation on a first operation member is detected, and a latch control device configured to: when an operation on a second operation member is detected while the door lock device is in the unlocked state, switch the latch mechanism to an unlatched state; when the operation on the second operation member is detected while the door lock device is in a locked state and when the operation on the first operation member is detected, switch the latch mechanism to the unlatched state; and, when the operation on the second operation member is detected while the door lock device is in the locked state and when the operation on the first operation member is not detected, maintain the latch mechanism in a latched state.

  • Patent number: 6559616
    Abstract: A motor rotational pulse generating circuit for a motor is provided which generates a correct pulse signal even at an initial turning-on stage of the motor, by adjusting a filter cutoff frequency in response to motor rotational condition. The motor rotational pulse generating circuit includes a rotational pulse generation circuit 20 which generates ripple pulses based on a signal being inputted from the DC motor 1, in which a ripple is superposed whose frequency is in proportion to a rotation number of the DC motor 1. A filter 3 makes a cutoff frequency variable on the basis of a clock signal issued from a PLL circuit 6. An oscillation frequency at an oscillator VCO10 is determined by the ripple pulses and a motor rotation condition signal inputted by way of circuits 12 to 16 inclusive. A microcomputer 20 operates, when the motor is turned on, to cause the oscillator VCO10 to issue a preliminary clock signal.

  • Patent number: 6456028
    Abstract: A pulse generating circuit for motor rotation of a direct current motor which is capable of pulse generation following the variation of the motor rotation condition and of stable ripple pulse generation. The pulse generating circuit for motor rotation includes a filter for varying a cut-off frequency fc by the signal from outside and for removing the noise based on the input signal from the direct current motor, a pulse forming circuit for forming the ripple pulse in accordance with the motor rotation of the direct current motor based on the output from the filter, a clock generating circuit for varying the cut-off frequency fc of the filter by providing the clock signal fCLK which is generated based on the rotational condition signal of the ripple pulse and the direct current motor to the filter, and a pulse correction circuit for generating the corrected ripple pulse when the frequency ratio between the ripple pulse and the clock signal fCLK is deviated.
