Patent number: 8848056Abstract: A vehicle periphery monitoring apparatus displays a mobile object on a display unit, encircled by a detection frame, which notifies the driver of the vehicle concerning the presence of the mobile object. A mobile object detector judges a travel path of the mobile object, and a display processor changes an area within which the detection frame is not displayed, depending on the direction in which the judged travel path extends. The detection frame is displayed only when necessary, so as to indicate the presence of the mobile object to the driver using the detection frame.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2012Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shigenobu Saigusa, Yasushi Shoda, Katsuyuki Takei, Yoshitaka Yokoo

Patent number: 7681961Abstract: A brake system for a vehicle includes an electrically operated parking brake drive device which generates an operating force for operating the wheel brakes or dedicated parking brakes in response to energization, and which operates even upon cancellation of the energization while in the operated state. A braking force related amount detector detects a physical quantity related to a braking force exhibited by each of the hydraulic pressure operated wheel brakes. When a detected physical quantity exceeds a reference value in a stopped state of the vehicle, a controller energizes the electrically operated parking brake drive device. Thus, the frequency of operation of the electrically operated parking brake drive device is decreased while eliminating inconvenient operations required to operate the electrically operated parking brake drive device, thereby reducing noise and improving durability.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2006Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ikuo Nonaga, Hiroshi Koan, Akihiko Koike, Tsuyoshi Sato, Makoto Taniguchi, Yutaka Kichima, Ichiro Ueno, Katsuyuki Takei, Takashi Kuboshima

Patent number: 7615913Abstract: A composite electronic component provided is one with sufficient impact resistance. In this resonator 1, a piezoelectric element 2 is supported by receivers 73, 83 in platelike holding portions 72, 82, and edge parts 74a, 84a in the holding portions 72, 82 are in contact with a capacitive element 3. This results in keeping the distance constant between the piezoelectric element 2 and the capacitive element 3. Furthermore, even if an impact is exerted on the resonator 1, the platelike holding portions 72, 82 will absorb the impact. Therefore, an improvement is made in impact resistance of the resonator 1.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2007Date of Patent: November 10, 2009Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Katsuyuki Takei, Tohru Takahashi

Patent number: 7432632Abstract: A composite electronic component provided is one with sufficient impact resistance. In this resonator 1, a capacitive element 3 has a projection 37 projecting outside a piezoelectric element 2, from a portion of the capacitive element 3 coinciding with a vibration region 2a. The projection 37 is provided on each of two sides of the capacitive element 3 in a direction substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the capacitive element 3. This causes the projections 37 of the capacitive element 3 to be buried in a mold resin 5, whereby the capacitive element 3 is sufficiently fixed to the mold resin 5 even if the mold resin 5 is provided with a vibration space 5a containing the vibration region 2a of the piezoelectric element 2. Therefore, an improvement is made in impact resistance of the resonator 1.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2007Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Katsuyuki Takei, Tohru Takahashi

Patent number: 7135808Abstract: A lead portion 10 is made of a rod-like metal conductor and has a step portion 13 at its end portion. A first side plate 11 and a second side plate 12 are formed by using thinned portions of the end portion of the lead portion 10. The first and second side plates 11 and 12 face each other with a distance. One end of the first side plate 11 and one end of the second side plate 12 are continued to each other while the other end of the first side plate 11 and the other end of the second side plate 12 form open end edges 111 and 121 respectively.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2004Date of Patent: November 14, 2006Assignee: TDK CorporationInventors: Tohru Takahashi, Katsuyuki Takei

Patent number: 6997289Abstract: When a shift position is shifted from an R range to a D range and when the shift position is shifted from the D range to the R range, an electrically-operated parking brake device is automatically cancelled. In this manner, the electrically-operated parking brake device is cancelled without waiting for the depression of an accelerator pedal with a driver's intention to start a vehicle taken into consideration. Therefore, it is possible not only to alleviate a burden on the driver in canceling the electrically-operated parking brake device, but also to prevent an abrupt starting of the vehicle due to the cancellation of the electrically-operated parking brake device while the accelerator pedal is being depressed to transmit a large driving force to driven wheels.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2003Date of Patent: February 14, 2006Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshihiro Iwagawa, Jun Miyakawa, Makoto Taniguchi, Yutaka Kichima, Katsuyuki Takei, Makoto Bessho

Patent number: 6905181Abstract: An electric parking brake system that includes a parking brake, and an electric motor, wherein the parking brake is activated by the electric motor. Operation of the parking brake is controlled such that a vehicle is decelerated at a target deceleration of a predetermined magnitude when an operation command to operate the parking brake is issued by a driver via an operation switch while the vehicle is running. If a service brake fails while a vehicle is running, when the driver depresses the operation switch to issue the operation command to a parking brake to brake the vehicle, the parking brake is controlled such that the vehicle is decelerated at the target deceleration of the predetermined magnitude set on the basis of the number of times of depressing the operation switch.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2003Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiro Iwagawa, Jun Miyakawa, Makoto Taniguchi, Yutaka Kichima, Katsuyuki Takei, Makoto Bessho

Patent number: 6868323Abstract: A vehicle brake control system includes an improved ACC system for controlling the operation of a brake actuator and a throttle actuator, based on a signal from a preceding vehicle detector such as a radar device, so that a subject vehicle tracks a preceding vehicle. After a regular brake device is actuated to stop the subject vehicle, an EPB ECU disengages the regular braking device and, instead, actuates an electrically initiated and mechanically maintained parking brake device, so as to temporarily maintain the subject vehicle in a stationary state. Once the electric parking brake device is initiated, its braking state is mechanically maintained even if the flow of current is cut off. Therefore, neither the regular brake device nor the electric parking device consume power while the vehicle is in a stationary state, thereby saving power and minimizing electrical heat generation.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2002Date of Patent: March 15, 2005Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yutaka Kichima, Makoto Bessho, Katsuyuki Takei

Publication number: 20040113489Abstract: If a service brake fails while a vehicle is running, when the driver depresses an operation switch to issue an operation command to a parking brake to brake the vehicle, the parking brake is controlled such that the vehicle is decelerated at a target deceleration of a predetermined magnitude set on the basis of the number of times of depressing the operation switch. Consequently, even if the temperature and degree of wear of a friction material of the parking brake vary, the vehicle can be decelerated at the target deceleration at all times, whereby a stable braking effect which is not affected by the conditions of the friction material of the parking brake can be obtained. Moreover, since the magnitude of the target deceleration is set according to the number of times of depressing the operation switch, a deceleration required by the driver can be generated in an ensured fashion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2003Publication date: June 17, 2004Applicant: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshihiro Iwagawa, Jun Miyakawa, Makoto Taniguchi, Yutaka Kichima, Katsuyuki Takei, Makoto Bessho
