  • Patent number: 6744399
    Abstract: A radar apparatus is provided in which an antenna axis and vehicle axis can agree with each other even when the antenna face is covered with a cover. In an assembling process of the radar apparatus composed of a chassis, an antenna incorporated in the chassis and a cover attached to the chassis to cover the antenna, a correlative positional relation between an antenna axis of the antenna incorporated into the chassis and one portion of the chassis or bracket is detected, and the thus detected data is inscribed on a seal and the seal is stuck to the chassis or the data is stored in an internal memory, and the chassis into which the antenna is incorporated is covered with the cover, so that the radar apparatus is manufactured. When this radar apparatus is attached to a vehicle, the antenna axis can be adjusted parallel to the vehicle axis by utilizing data of a correlative positional relation between the antenna and one portion of the chassis or bracket.

  • Publication number: 20030048625
    Abstract: By mounting electronic circuit components using a microstrip line, transmission loss and variation in performance are reduced. At least one projection of substantially uniform height is provided on each of four side surfaces of the components. The components are disposed on the chassis by bringing their projections into contact with adjacent circuit components. A heat-resistant film or a heat-resistant tape is adhered to one or both side surfaces of adjacent side surfaces of the components, to dispose the components in contact with each other. A component-mounting nozzle is used to adsorb the components, and position them on the chassis in contact with a guide fitted on the chassis or in the vicinity of the chassis. It is also possible to position the components with actuators located around the chassis, after the components are provisionally disposed on the chassis with the component-mounting nozzle.

  • Patent number: 4169438
    Abstract: Ignition timing control for an internal combustion engine is achieved by sensing engine rotation so as to generate output pulses for predetermined degrees of rotation and to develop a reset pulse at a rotational reference position. A first digital signal representing rotational speed of the engine and a second digital signal representing engine intake vacuum are converted into output date representative of optimum retard angles from the reference position. The output date are added to generate a plural bit binary signal having higher and lower significant bits. Comparison means, responsive to the reset pulse, counts the output pulses representing degrees of engine rotation and generates an output signal when the count reaches the value of the higher significant bits.

  • Patent number: 4046999
    Abstract: A logarithmic function generating system which generates an output signal bearing a logarithmic functional relation to the input signal. The time constant RC of a resistance-capacitance circuit is increased for every unit time elapsed in proportion to the unit time to produce a broken line approximating the logarithmic function. With its simple circuit construction employing no elements whose characteristics vary with ambient temperature changes or which tend to involve variations in characteristics among the elements of the same type, the system is capable of generating the desired logarithmic function output with a high degree of accuracy.

  • Patent number: 3991727
    Abstract: There is provided an electronically controlled fuel injection system wherein a constant presetting circuit generates a proportionality constant signal having a frequency corresponding to a proportionality constant, an intake-air amount detecting circuit generates a binary coded signal corresponding to the amount of air drawn into an internal combustion engine, and a multiplier circuit multiplies the proportionality constant signal by this binary coded signal and generates an output signal having a frequency corresponding to the product of the two signals. On the other hand, an engine revolution detecting circuit generates an engine revolution signal having a pulse width inversely proportional to the number of revolutions of the engine, and the number of multiple signals generated from the multiplier circuit during the pulse width of the engine revolution signal is counted to generate a binary coded signal representing the fuel injection quantity required by the engine.
