Abstract: A lock state occurrence determination apparatus includes a counter, a reset device, a reference time changing device, a lock state determination device, and an invalidation device. The invalidation device performs, in a case where a false determination of occurrence of a lock state of a motor is caused by the lock state determination device due to an operation input to operate a rotation speed of the motor, at least one of a first invalidation operation to invalidate the lock state determination device and a second invalidation operation to invalidate continuation of a counting operation by the counter.

Abstract: Provided is a vehicle brake system including a master cylinder which generates a master hydraulic pressure through an operation of a brake pedal by an operator, and a cylinder body which houses a first and second slave pistons driven by an electric motor operated in accordance with an operation amount of the brake pedal, and is formed with a first hydraulic chamber and a second hydraulic chamber for generating a slave hydraulic pressure through operations of the first and second slave pistons. Further, the cylinder body includes a first bleeder and a second bleeder which are configured to be switchable between open states in which a first hydraulic chamber and a second hydraulic chamber are in communication with an external of the cylinder body and closed states in which the first hydraulic chamber and the second hydraulic chamber are not in communication with the external of the cylinder body.

Abstract: A trigger switch has a case member, a cover member, and an operation member configured to be used to carry out an operation. The case member and the cover member are combined with each other to form a waterproof case. When the operation member is operated, the operation member is displaced inward of the waterproof case. An internal pressure of the waterproof case changes in accordance with displacement of the operation member. The case member has a case base that is made from an inelastic body. The case base does not deform in accordance with a change in internal pressure of the waterproof case. The case base has at least one hole part. The case member has at least one deformation section that seals the at least one hole part. The deformation section is made from an elastic body.

Abstract: In a vehicular brake-by-wire braking system, during a four wheel simultaneous control mode when regeneration cooperative braking is implemented, a pair of electromagnetic isolation control valves and one of normally closed electromagnetic pressure relief valves corresponding to regeneration side left and right wheel brakes and normally closed electromagnetic pressure relief valves corresponding to non-regeneration side left and right wheel brakes are caused to operate to open and close, while the other of the normally closed electromagnetic pressure relief valves corresponding to the regeneration side left and right wheel brakes and the normally closed electromagnetic pressure relief valves corresponding to the non-regeneration side left and right wheel brakes are put in de-energized states in which the valves concerned are kept closed, and all normally open electromagnetic pressure supply valves are put in de-energized states in which the valves concerned are kept opened.

Abstract: A power tool of the present teachings comprises a prime mover that drives a tool, a main switch that causes the prime mover to operate when the main switch is turned on and causes the prime mover to stop operating when the main switch is turned off, an illuminator that lights a working area of the tool, and a lighting mode selector switch for switching the lighting mode of the illuminator between a plurality of lighting modes which include a first lighting mode and a second lighting mode. When the first lighting mode is selected, the illuminator will be turned on for a first predetermined period from the point at which the main switch is turned off. When the second lighting mode is selected, the illuminator will not be turned on during the first predetermined period from the point at which the main switch is turned off.

Abstract: An electric power tool is configured to control power supply to a motor based on an operational amount of the variable speed switch, and further configured to perform in an intermittent control mode in which power supply to the motor is varied intermittently in the same manner as if an ON operation and an OFF operation of the variable speed switch were repeated. It is also able to perform in a continuous control mode in which power supply to the motor is varied based on the operational amount of the variable speed switch.
