Patent number: 10919387Abstract: A control apparatus configured to control a driving force transmission apparatus. The control apparatus includes a torque command value calculator configured to calculate a torque command value for the right and left rear wheels based on a front-rear wheel rotation speed difference, a command value limiter configured to limit the torque command value to a value equal to or smaller than an upper limit value, and a current controller configured to control a current to be supplied to the driving force transmission apparatus so that a driving force determined based on the torque command value is transmitted to the right and left rear wheels. When the front-rear wheel rotation speed difference increases, the command value limiter sets the upper limit value smaller as a change amount of the front-rear wheel rotation speed difference per unit time increases.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventor: Hirokazu Kondo

Patent number: 10699425Abstract: Provided are a feature impression axis determination system, a feature impression axis determination method, and a program thereof capable of determining a feature axis indicating features of a plurality of images. A plurality of images is input, and a standard impression value of each of the plurality of images is determined with respect to at least two standard impression axes. The determined standard impression values are plotted in a standard impression region. In the standard region defined by the two standard impression axes, an axis on which a variance of the standard impression values becomes a maximum is determined as a feature impression axis indicating features of the plurality of input images. The determined feature impression axis is displayed in the standard region.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Hirokazu Kondo

Patent number: 10639989Abstract: A control device is mounted on a four-wheel-drive vehicle, and includes a detector and a vibration suppression controller. The detector detects the occurrence of a vibrating state, in which drive wheels and auxiliary drive wheels slip alternately in a four-wheel-drive state in which a drive force is transferred to the auxiliary drive wheels, or the occurrence of a preliminary state for the vibrating state. The vibration suppression controller reduces the drive force which is transferred to the auxiliary drive wheels via a drive force transfer device when the vibrating state or the preliminary state is detected by the detector. The vibration suppression controller reduces the drive force which is transferred to the auxiliary drive wheels on condition that a thermal load of the drive force transfer device is less than a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventors: Hirokazu Kondo, Tomoaki Kato, Akiyoshi Kakita, Kotaro Sarai
