Abstract: According to this GaN-based HFET, resistivity ? of a semi-insulating film forming a gate insulating film is 3.9×109 ?cm. The value of this resistivity ? is a value derived when the current density is 6.25×10?4 (A/cm2). By inclusion of the gate insulating film by a semi-insulating film having a resistivity ?=3.9×109 ?cm, a withstand voltage of 1000 V can be obtained. Meanwhile, the withstand voltage abruptly drops as the resistivity of the gate insulating film exceeds 1×1011 ?cm, and the gate leak current increases when the resistivity of the gate insulating film drops below 1×107 ?cm.

Abstract: The magnitude of a linear damping coefficient Cs is set so as to decrease the greater a maximum amplitude value ? of an intermediate frequency sprung acceleration is. In the case where a damping force control apparatus carries out control for dampening vibrations of a sprung member using a nonlinear H-infinity control theory, the linear damping coefficient Cs is set to a high value when the maximum amplitude value ? of the intermediate frequency sprung acceleration inputted to a suspension apparatus is low. Accordingly, a requested damping force Freq also increases, which makes it possible to quickly dampen vibrations in the sprung member. Meanwhile, in the case where the maximum amplitude value ? of the intermediate frequency sprung acceleration is high, the linear damping coefficient Cs is set to a low value.

Abstract: An air damper capable of stabilizing a damping force of the air damper is obtained. When a rod member (16) is pulled out of a cylinder member (20), a suction member (60) hits against the other side surface (56) of a piston member (30) so as to close an air passage (28), and an airflow path communicating between an air chamber (26) and an outside is only orifice portions (42). On the other hand, when the rod member (16) is pushed into the cylinder member (20), the suction member (60) moves away from the other side surface (56) of the piston member (30) so as to open the air passage (28). Consequently, compared to a conventional structure in which an O-ring rolls by a friction force with an inner peripheral surface of a cylinder so as to open or close the air passage, the air passage (28) can be opened and closed as intended so as to be capable of stabilizing the damping force.

Therefore, the gate voltage VGS is changed on the basis of the above-mentioned relative speed such that the gate voltage VGS increases with the stroke speed of the electrical shock absorber 20.
