  • Publication number: 20110063860
    Abstract: A vehicle headlamp system includes a headlamp having multiple control devices and an ECU. Each of the control devices controls a light irradiation condition of the headlamp. The ECU stores vehicle constants, error code information and initialization information corresponding to different types of vehicle, and controls the control devices. When a vehicle type is changed, the ECU selects at least one of the vehicle constants corresponding to the changed vehicle type, clears the stored error code information and the initialization information after selecting the at least one of the vehicle constants, stores initialization information corresponding to the changed vehicle type, and initializes the control devices. The ECU recognizes dependencies between the control devices and, if the control devices include a first control device that is independent, executes normal control by the first control device directly after initializing the first control device.

  • Publication number: 20110025209
    Abstract: A curvature estimation unit estimates the curvature of the road on which a vehicle is driving. A swivel angle setting unit is configured to perform a first mode in which a swivel angle of a lamp unit is set such that a light distribution pattern follows the travelling direction of the vehicle based on the curvature estimated by the curvature estimation unit, and perform a second mode in which a swivel angle of the lamp unit is set such that a shielded area created in a light distribution pattern follows the position of the vehicle detected by a vehicle position detector. A pattern determination unit determines a light distribution pattern such that the position of the vehicle detected by the vehicle position detector remains in the shielded area. A swivel angle setting unit performs the first mode when it is determined that the road is a curved road based on the curvature estimated by the curvature estimation unit, and performs the second mode when it is determined that the road is a straight road.

  • Publication number: 20100329242
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a server apparatus includes a memory, a determination module and a controller. The memory stores a management table associating terminal IDs specifying the terminals with media processing abilities owned by the terminals. The determination module refers the management table and determines whether information showing a media processing ability corresponding to the first terminal and information showing a media processing ability corresponding to the second terminal coincide with each other based on the reference result. The controller executes first processing for making speech connection between the first terminal and the second terminal by a peer-to-peer when the media processing abilities coincide with each other, and executes second processing for leading in a speech path between the first terminal and the second terminal to convert into the same media processing ability when the media processing abilities non-coincide with each other.

  • Patent number: 7534192
    Abstract: A vehicle power transmission device in which an engine 61 equipped with a turbo charger 62 and a fluid coupling 2 with a lockup clutch are combined together, wherein a timing for connecting the lockup clutch 25 is normalized to accomplish a smooth connecting during the low-speed traveling after the start. A lockup clutch control device is equipped with means for detecting the operating condition of the turbo charger 62, and the lockup clutch 25 starts to be connected at a moment before the turbo charger 62 reaches a high output state. The lockup clutch 25 is connected within a short period of time without producing a shock due to connection and the vehicle, thereafter, accelerates smoothly. A rate of change in the revolution of the engine 61 or the pressure in the intake pipe 63 is detected to detect the operating condition of the turbo charger 62.

  • Patent number: 7350944
    Abstract: In an automatic leveling apparatus, a motor inclines an optical axis of a headlamp in an up and down direction relative to a vehicle body, a vehicle height sensor detects a change in a height direction of an axle portion of a front wheel or a rear wheel of a vehicle, and an involatile memory records a control constant inherent to the vehicle. CPU determines whether the control constant is recorded to the involatile memory, calculates a pitch angle based on the control constant inherent to the vehicle and a detecting output of the vehicle height sensor, and controls to drive the motor by generating a control signal for canceling the pitch angle. CPU calculates the pitch angle on a condition that the control constant is recorded to the involatile memory, outputs the control signal and stops to output the control signal to the motor otherwise.
