  • Patent number: 6495950
    Abstract: A deflection yoke capable of easily adjusting a member having a pair of magnetic pieces by moving the member to a standard state in the case of correcting misconvergence. According to the deflection yoke of the invention, a member having a pair of magnetic pieces disposed in the horizontal deflection direction is attached to an electron gun side of the deflection yoke. The shape of a part of each of ends of the member coincides with a part of the outer shape of the electron gun side of the deflection yoke. The adjusting person can easily set the member into the standard state by adjusting the parts with his/her fingers. By moving the member in the horizontal direction from such a state, misconvergence can be corrected.

  • Patent number: 5142474
    Abstract: An electronic control apparatus for a vehicle includes first and second controllers between which the transmission of information is performed. A processor in the form of a microcomputer processes information transmitted from the first controller to the second controller and controls an actuator such as a brake actuator based on the information thus processed. An abnormality detecting circuit detects an interruption of signal transmission between the first and second controllers for a predetermined period of time, and it stops the control of the second controller on the actuator when it detects such an interruption. A transmission inhibitor is provided for inhibiting signal transmission from the second controller to the first controller when the abnormality detector detects an interruption.

  • Patent number: 5123714
    Abstract: An antiskid apparatus including a first filter circuit having a predetermined cut-off frequency and a second filter circuit having a variable cut-off frequency, each of which filter the speed of a vehicle wheel. The output of the first filter circuit is applied to a deceleration detecting circuit, a vehicle speed detecting circuit, and a slip quantity calculating circuit for respectively calculating the deceleration of the vehicle wheel, the estimated vehicle speed, and a slip quantity of the vehicle wheel with respect to the vehicle speed. In response to the first wheel deceleration signal and the slip quantity signal, a cut-off frequency changing circuit alters the cut-off frequency of the second filter circuit, whose output is applied to a second wheel deceleration detecting circuit.

  • Patent number: 5104204
    Abstract: An anti-skid brake control system capable of determining an amount of brake pressure that should be applied to a wheel of a vehicle based upon the condition of the road surface. The relationship between the amount of brake pressure applied in a current cycle and the condition of the road surface is extrapolated depending upon the duration of the non-slip period, and the brake pressure for the next cycle is modified accordingly. As a result, the brake pressure is optimized to be suitable for the current road conditions, and prevents wheel locking.

  • Patent number: 5038879
    Abstract: An improved fail-safe device for a motor vehicle speed governor of the type having a control system to switch a supply of power to an actuator ON and OFF for the control of the traveling speed of a motor vehicle to keep a constant speed. A latch is connected to power supply control circuit which controls the power supply to an actuator. The actuator actuates a throttle valve in an intake manifold of an engine for providing constant speed travel by turning the throttle valve ON and OFF in accordance with an output of the latch. The latch is set with a command signal and reset with a cancel signal or a reset signal. The resetting of the latch is executed if an absence of a watch dog signal is detected or a change of output generating status of the latch is detected under certain conditions. The state of the latch can be maintained if the conduction of a switching circuit for the actuator is detected regardless of a command signal to start up the constant speed traveling.

  • Patent number: 4982805
    Abstract: The invention relates to a constant-speed cruise control apparatus for automatically controlling the cruise speed of a vehicle to permit the vehicle to cruise at a constant speed. The gradient of a road is estimated on the basis of an actual cruise speed of the vehicle, the opening of a throttle valve, and cruise performance characteristics of the vehicle which indicates the relationship between the cruise speed and the opening of a throttle valve. If it determines that the road is uphill, and moreover, the absolute value of a speed deviation (i.e., a deviation of the actual cruise speed froma target speed) is more than a predetermined value, shifting down is carried out. Subsequently, if the absolute value of the speed deviation is less than another predetermined value, and moreover, it is determined that the road is downhill, shifting up is carried out.
