  • Publication number: 20240132147
    Abstract: A vehicle power supply system includes a power source control device that executes a process of switching a connection state of a driving circuit to the main power source and an auxiliary power source including; a process of switching the connection state so as to transition to a backup state as a voltage decrease of the main power source occurs, and a process of switching the connection state so as to transition to a normal state as the voltage decrease of the main power source is resolved. After a voltage decrease of the main power source occurs, a turning-side control device of a steering control unit sets an output-limited state for a turning-side motor. The output-limited state is canceled upon the power source control device completing switching of the connection state so as to transition.

  • Publication number: 20240003468
    Abstract: One of an external thread of a fitting body and an internal thread of a sleeve includes two thread ridges and the other includes two thread grooves. The two thread ridges have transverse cross sections different in shape or size. A transverse cross section of the first thread groove allows that of the first thread ridge to be fit thereinto. A transverse cross section of the second thread groove prevents that of the first thread ridge from being fit thereinto but allows that of the second thread ridge to be fit thereinto. A leading portion of the second thread ridge is tapered in width. A leading portion of the first thread groove is inversely tapered in width. A leading portion of the first thread ridge has a transverse cross section that extends beyond a transverse cross section of the leading portion of the second thread groove.

  • Publication number: 20240003469
    Abstract: A fitting body is tubular, whose first and second axial end portions include a connector for a tube and an annular groove, respectively. A sleeve has first and second axial end portions including an annular protrusion and a connector for another tube, respectively. A nut is engaged with an external thread of the fitting body or the sleeve. Engagement of the external thread with the nut causes press—fit of the annular protrusion into the annular groove to form a seal region. Under a condition that a depth of the annular groove is three or more times as large as a thickness of a radially inward or outward wall of the annular groove, an axial distance from the seal region to a bottom of the annular groove exceeds ten times an increment width of the annular groove caused by the press-fit of the annular protrusion into the annular groove.
