  • Patent number: 11939025
    Abstract: A straddle type vehicle comprises a steering mechanism configured to steer a front wheel a steering damper device capable of variably generating a damping force working on a rotating action of the steering mechanism; and a control unit configured to control the damping force of the steering damper device to increase, when the front wheel of the straddle type vehicle in a wheelie state lands on a ground. The control unit controls the damping force to increase, after the front wheel lands on the ground and an oscillation occurs in the steering mechanism.

  • Patent number: 11878768
    Abstract: A saddled vehicle includes an air cleaner and a vehicle body movement sensor. The air cleaner takes travel wind in an air cleaner box to purify air of the travel wind and supplies the purified air to an internal combustion engine. The vehicle body movement sensor is received in a recess and measures movement of a vehicle body. The recess is defined by a flat surface that crosses a rear wall of the air cleaner box. This provides a saddled vehicle including a vehicle body movement sensor that is disposed without reducing the volume of an air cleaner box.

  • Patent number: 11554212
    Abstract: A medical device is disclosed, which includes: an operation reception unit; a position acquisition unit capable of acquiring position information of a detection target that is in contact with or proximity to the operation reception unit, the position information being based on a position on the operation reception unit; and a control unit that identifies an operation input by the detection target based on a change in the acquired position information.

  • Publication number: 20220306101
    Abstract: An automatic control device for a motorcycle including a control device that automatically controls an automatic cruise control system and a brake system including a front wheel brake and a rear wheel brake includes a brake temperature detection unit that detects a brake temperature. The control device varies operation states of the front wheel brake and the rear wheel brake according to the brake temperature during automatic cruise control. At a time of deceleration in a case where the brake temperature during the automatic cruise control is low, the control device raises the brake temperature by reducing an engine brake of a power unit of a vehicle and increasing operation frequencies of the front wheel brake and the rear wheel brake.

  • Publication number: 20220212746
    Abstract: A straddle type vehicle comprises a steering mechanism configured to steer a front wheel; a steering damper device capable of variably generating a damping force working on a rotating action of the steering mechanism; and a control unit configured to control the damping force of the steering damper device. The control unit controls the damping force, based on a change amount per unit time of steering torque generated in the steering mechanism and a deceleration of the front wheel.

  • Publication number: 20220212742
    Abstract: A body posture detection device comprises: a correction value calculation unit that sequentially calculates a correction value for estimating a roll angle of a vehicle body on the basis of a variable correction coefficient set according to a determination of a state determination unit and detection values of a speed sensor and a detection unit; and a roll angle estimation value calculation unit that calculates an estimation value of a current roll angle of the vehicle body by integrating a value obtained by correcting an estimation value of a roll angular velocity on the basis of the correction value. The correction value calculation unit sets the variable correction coefficient so as to reduce the correction value when the parameter exceeds a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210178065
    Abstract: A medical apparatus includes an operation reception unit, a position acquisition unit that can acquire position information of a detection target based on a position of the detection target on the operation reception unit at an acquisition time that occurs in a predetermined cycle, the detection target being in contact with or proximate to the operation reception unit, and a control unit that determines an operation position of the detection target on the operation reception unit at a last acquisition time before a latest acquisition time, on the basis of the position information acquired at the latest acquisition time.
