  • Patent number: 11312409
    Abstract: A steering control device includes an electronic control unit configured to calculate a d-axis current command value and a q-axis current command value for a motor having three phases configured to generate drive power applied to a shaft interlocked with turning wheels, to convert detected current values in the phases of the motor to a d-axis current value and a q-axis current value, and to perform feedback control. The electronic control unit is configured to perform field weakening control for setting the d-axis current command value to a negative value based on a rotation speed of the motor, to determine whether the motor is in a regenerative state, and to calculate the d-axis current command value according to the regenerative state of the motor when the electronic control unit determines that the motor is in the regenerative state.

  • Patent number: 11255448
    Abstract: A valve is equipped with a displacement amount regulating mechanism (for example, flow rate control device). An abutment member of the displacement amount regulating mechanism protrudes inside a pilot chamber and faces an upper end surface of a valve main body portion of a valve element. When the valve element (the valve main body portion) is separated from a valve seat to bring the valve into an open state, the abutment member is brought into abutment on the upper end surface of the valve main body portion. This abutment regulates the displacement of the valve element.

  • Patent number: 10480676
    Abstract: A valve includes a valve mechanism capable of switching a communication state between a first port and a second port of a body. A diaphragm is held between a valve plug and a holder member, at a central portion of the valve mechanism. An outer marginal portion of the diaphragm is held between the body and the bonnet. A pilot channel through which a communication chamber in the body and a pilot chamber in the bonnet communicate with each other is formed in the valve plug. A first hole communicating with the pilot channel is formed at a central portion of the diaphragm. Pressurized fluid in the communication chamber flows into the pilot chamber through the pilot channel and the first hole to thereby bias the valve plug toward a valve seat, by the pressure of the pressurized fluid in combination with an elastic force of a spring.

  • Publication number: 20190155415
    Abstract: An input device includes an electrostatic sensor having a plurality of detection units, and an operation body having a contact operation surface. The contact operation surface is an assembly of a plurality of contact points that all the contact points are arranged with a distance from the detection surface in a direction perpendicular to the detection surface, and the contact operation surface is divided into at least two regions where the distance between the detection surface and the contact point becomes nonuniform. The detection unit includes one first electrode unit and one second electrode unit. In the electrostatic sensor, an overlapping area of the first electrode unit and the second electrode unit decreases as the detection unit is disposed in such a way that a distance with the contact point on the detection surface becomes narrower.

  • Publication number: 20180335318
    Abstract: A magnetism detection device includes a magnetic sensor and a shield member. The magnetic sensor detects variation in magnetism at a detection position that occurs with rotation of a rotating body. The shield member has a pair of plate-like side wall portions opposing each other and a first opening formed by opening the side in a direction intersecting with a direction in which the pair of side wall portions oppose each other. The shield member allows the magnetic sensor to be located in an internal space portion interposed between the pair of side wall portions and allowing the magnetic sensor and the rotating body to oppose each other through the first opening.
