  • Onboard electronic device operating unit
    Patent number: 7980113
    Abstract: An onboard electronic device operating unit enables a needle calibration mode by performing a specified needle calibration enabling operation on part of multiple setup operation sections. The setup operation sections can change setting states of control contents for an onboard electronic device. In the needle calibration mode, part of the setup operation sections functions as a needle calibration section. Operating the needle calibration section can calibrate a needle position of a needle-type display apparatus.

  • Shock absorber control system
    Patent number: 4635959
    Abstract: A shock absorber control system comprises a plurality of switches for setting respective desired dampening forces, and controls a dampening force of a vehicle shock absorber linearly in accordance with a manipulation of one of the switches. The control system further comprises a height sensor for detecting a height of the vehicle and detects the dampening force of the shock absorber by the change of the detected height and corrects the dampening force of the shock absorber in accordance with a difference between the desired dampening force corresponding to the manipulated switch and the detected dampening force.
