Patent number: 8519624Abstract: A roadside-vehicle cooperative illumination system in which a headlight of a vehicle and a road illumination lamp can be controlled cooperatively through communications between an in-vehicle apparatus and a roadside apparatus. For example, when power consumption of the headlight has to be reduced, an in-vehicle apparatus side arbiter transmits a request to the roadside apparatus for increase illumination of the road illumination lamp. A roadside apparatus side arbiter determines whether or not to accept the request from the in-vehicle apparatus, and a roadside apparatus side controller controls the road illumination lamp according to the determination of the roadside apparatus side arbiter. This enables the road illumination lamp to be controlled cooperatively so that illumination of the road illumination lamp can compensate for deficiencies in illumination of the headlight, which leads to enhancement of vehicle driver's convenience and ensuring of safety.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2011Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Yousuke Hattori, Katsuyuki Mori, Kunihiko Chiba, Masahiro Goto

Patent number: 7997363Abstract: A vehicle control system calculates driver-required wheel torque, correction wheel torque to stabilize vehicle motion, required output shaft torque, alternator base torque, target engine torque and alternator torque to realize the output shaft torque. The required output shaft torque is required to realize vehicle motion, and the alternator base torque is required to maintain amounts of electric power in batteries. In order to realize the torque including wide band frequency torque, a torque division unit divides the sum of the torque into each torque actuator response frequency torque.

Patent number: 4643092Abstract: A printing press inking mechanism comprising a fountain roller dipped in a printing ink in an ink fountain, and a drawout roller movable alternately into and out of rolling engagement with the fountain roller and a first of a series of ink rollers for ink transfer from the former to the latter and then to a plate cylinder. The drawout roller when in rolling engagement with the first of the ink rollers can be revolved therewith and so can be automatically cleaned therewith clean of the printing ink by a solvent. The fountain roller has so far been left out of rotation, requiring manual cleaning. Thus a cleaning roller is additionally provided which is movable, at the time of the cleaning of the rollers, into rolling engagement with both the fountain roller and the drawout roller to transmit the rotation of the ink rollers to the fountain roller, so that the fountain roller can also be automatically cleaned with the other rollers.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1986Date of Patent: February 17, 1987Assignee: Miyakoshi Printing Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenich Yamagishi, Katsuyuki Mori
