Patent number: 11932138Abstract: An electric vehicle control method for braking of an electric vehicle applies a front braking torque to a front drive motor that drives a front wheel and applies a rear braking torque to a rear drive motor that drives a rear wheel. The method includes: during the braking, executing a torque limiting process (process B, process C, front braking torque control) that reduces the front braking torque and the rear braking torque when a slip of the front wheel is detected; and executing a distribution torque changing process that increases the front braking torque while maintaining a sum of the front braking torque and the rear braking torque when a slip of the rear wheel is detected.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takahisa Kurosawa, Yohei Nakamura, Masahito Taira

Patent number: 11932241Abstract: A driving assist system executes driving assist control for avoiding a collision with a target ahead of a vehicle. The driving assist control operates when the target exists within an assist area. A crossing target is the target crossing a roadway area ahead of the vehicle from a first side toward a second side. The assist area for the crossing target is divided into a plurality of divided assist areas including a first assist area located on the first side as viewed from the vehicle and a second assist area located on the second side as viewed from the vehicle. When the crossing target exists in the second assist area, the driving assist system decreases a control strength of the driving assist control as compared with a case where the crossing target exists in the first assist area.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Satoshi Nakamura, Kazuyuki Fujita, Minami Sato, Takahisa Awata

Publication number: 20200199575Abstract: A method is described for regulating metabolic homeostasis in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising isolating circulating exosomes from a healthy donor, and administering the exosomes to the subject, under conditions sufficient to regulate metabolic homeostasis in the subject, wherein the exosomes act by a direct interaction with insulin target tissues and/or by modulation of immune function. Furthermore, the components of the exosomes, such as RNAs and/or products catalyzed by sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 3 (SMPD3) are used to treat metabolic disorders, such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In addition, a method for early detection of metabolic risks associated with obesity is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2020Publication date: June 25, 2020Inventor: Takahisa NAKAMURA

Patent number: 9969321Abstract: A control device of a vehicle lamp device includes a reception unit and a control unit. The control unit includes a timing determination unit configured to determine a driving timing of an actuator configured to change a posture of the vehicle lamp device. The timing determination unit drives the actuator when an acquisition number of the output values of the acceleration sensor reaches a first number while a vehicle speed is less than a predetermined value, and drives the actuator when the acquisition number of the output values of the acceleration sensor reaches a second number smaller than the first number while the vehicle speed is equal to or greater than the predetermined value.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2016Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: KOITO MANUFACTURING CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuichi Watano, Takahisa Nakamura

Patent number: 7195378Abstract: In a vehicle lighting apparatus in which the irradiation direction of lamps provided at the left and right portions of an automobile can be deflected to the left and right directions in association with the steering operation of a steering apparatus, the deflection angles of the left and right lamps are changed in different manners in accordance with a vehicle speed, for example. For example, at the time of steering to the right, when a vehicle speed is a predetermined value or less, only the right lamp is subjected to the deflecting operation, while when a vehicle speed exceeds the predetermined value, both the right and left lamps are simultaneously subjected to the deflecting operation. The deflection angles of the left and right lamps are differentiated in accordance with the speed change of an automobile.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2004Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kiyotaka Fukawa, Masao Okawa, Naohisa Tatara, Makoto Izawa, Takahisa Nakamura
