Abstract: A control apparatus of a rolling mill includes a load top/bottom distributor distributing loads as top and bottom side loads, a load top/bottom variation identification mechanism identifying load variation components occurring in connection with a rotational position of rolls from the top and bottom side loads, and top/bottom identified load variation storage storing, for each rotational position of rolls, top and bottom side variation components of the load in a kiss-roll condition identified by the load top/bottom variation identification mechanism. A manipulated variable computer computes a roll gap instruction value based on the top and bottom side variation components of the rolling load identified by the load top/bottom variation identification mechanism, and the top side variation component and the bottom side variation component of the load in a kiss-roll condition stored in the top/bottom identified load variation storage.

Abstract: There is provided a driving support device including: a control unit configured to perform predetermined safety control according to approach of another vehicle to a own-vehicle, the another vehicle being in an area which is defined based on a reference azimuth as viewed from the own-vehicle on which the driving support device is mounted, the reference azimuth being centered on the area; and a determination unit configured to determine the reference azimuth to be one of a first azimuth and a second azimuth based on information regarding turn of the own-vehicle, the first azimuth being defined along a direction of a central axis of the own-vehicle, the second azimuth being different from the first azimuth.

Abstract: A vehicle position detection system is provided to detect a vehicle position with higher accuracy. The vehicle position detection system includes a GPS receiving device mounted on the vehicle to receive GPS signals from a GPS satellite, a light beacon communication device mounted on the vehicle to receive light beacon information from a light beacon arranged in front of an intersection of a road, and a central processing unit mounted on the vehicle to correct a position of the vehicle based on the light beacon information upon reception of the light beacon information by the light beacon communication device.

Abstract: In a vehicular body structure, left and right front pillars are provided closer to the longitudinal centerline of a vehicle than left and right corner sections of a compartment of the vehicle. First corner window (26) provided adjacent to one of the left and right front pillars (13) which is more remote from a driver's seat (24) has a greater opening area than a second corner window (25) provided adjacent to the other of the left and right pillars (11) which is closer to the driver's seat.

Abstract: Visual recognition assistance device (10) for a vehicle includes a pole section (11) provided at a corner area of the vehicle, and a plate section (12) provided at an intermediate portion or end portion of the pole section in substantially parallel relation to the ground surface. The plate section is in any one of disk, rectangular, triangular, kite and bar shapes. The plate section includes a pole-section position indicating portion (13) to point to the pole section in a highlighted fashion. The pole-section-position indicating portion may be in the form of a recessed portion, colored portion, light emitting portion, projecting portion or bar.

Abstract: Disclosed is a seat apparatus for a vehicle, which has the functions of supporting a seat main body being placed on a floor and behind pedals in the vehicle in such a way that the seat main body is movable forward, backward, upward and downward and that the seat main body is made higher in height as it moves forward, and adjusting a position of the seat main body forward, backward, upward and downward in a predetermined adjusting orbit, so that the position fits different builds of drivers. Furthermore, the adjusting orbit is determined based on hip points of the drivers, and the hip points are set on the condition that a viewpoint and heels of the drivers are fixed.

Abstract: A wedge setup/control method for plate material rolling ensures that the work side and drive side are equal in the rolled plate thickness. The wedge setup/control method, which is used in reversible rolling of a plate material with a rough mill for hot rolling, includes preparing a wedge meter on the outlet side of the rough mill to measure the plate thickness in the direction of the plate width; performing calculations on a wedge measured by the wedge meter, using the influence coefficient of the wedge for roll gap leveling of the rough mill; determining amount of roll gap leveling control; and exercising feedback control to apply the amount of roll gap leveling control to the roll gap leveling of the rough mill.
