  • Patent number: 4611815
    Abstract: A vehicle height control system includes a plurality of vehicle height adjusters actuated by a pneumatic actuating system and controlled respectively by control signals from a control unit. The control unit calculates, for each of the vehicle height adjusters, a target difference between a target adjustment position and an actual position detected by a vehicle height sensor associated with the adjuster. The control unit compares the target differences for respective vehicle height adjusters, and the adjuster having the target difference which is the largest in magnitude is first actuated to perform its adjusting operation, thereby preventing unbalanced differences in the vehicle height.

  • Patent number: 4593920
    Abstract: A vehicle height control system includes a plurality of vehicle height adjusters actuated by a hydropneumatic actuating system and controlled by control signals from a control unit. The control unit calculates, for each of the vehicle height adjusters, a target difference between a target adjustment position set by a setting device and an actual position detected by a vehicle height sensor associated with the adjuster, and the control unit generates the control signals in accordance with the respective target differences. The control unit further selects a maximum target difference, and calculates deviations of the target differences from the maximum target difference. When any of the deviations exceeds a predetermined value, the adjustment operation of the vehicle height adjuster associated with this deviation is temporarily stopped thereby correcting the nonuniformity of the adjustments in the vehicle height adjusters.

  • Patent number: 4499544
    Abstract: In an electronic ignition control apparatus having RAM to initially store first and second signals indicative of the starting and terminating points for calculation of a time necessary for rotation of a predetermined angle defined by integer times as large as a predetermined angular interval of an output shaft of an engine, a rotation time of the output shaft is calculated during rotation of an angle of the output shaft defined by the first and second signals from RAM to calculate an optimum spark advance angle in relation to the operating condition of the engine such that an angular position defined by integer times as large as the predetermined angular interval at the advance angle side of the calculated advance angle is determined to be stored in RAM as a third signal.

  • Patent number: 4360874
    Abstract: In an electronic ignition control apparatus having RAM to initially store first and second signals indicative of the starting and terminating points for calculation of a time necessary for rotation of a predetermined angle defined by integer times as large as a predetermined angular interval of an output shaft of an engine, a rotation time of the output shaft is calculated during rotation of an angle of the output shaft defined by the first and second signals from RAM to calculate an optimum spark advance angle in relation to the operating condition of the engine such that an angular position defined by integer times as large as the predetermined angular interval at the advance angle side of the calculated advance angle is determined to be stored in RAM as a third signal.
