Patent number: 9358925Abstract: In a warning device for a vehicle, a basic target current value setting unit sets a basic target current value based on a steering torque and a vehicle speed. When a lane deviation determining unit determines that there is a high possibility that a vehicle will deviate from a lane, a warning vibration wave generator generates a warning vibration wave containing a plurality of frequency components. A target current value is computed by adding the warning vibration wave to the basic target current value. A motor current to be applied to an electric motor is controlled so as to approach the target current value.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2014Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: JTEKT CorporationInventors: Yuji Kariatsumari, Ken Matsubara, Yasuyuki Yoshii, Tatsuma Kouchi, Yuichi Miura

Patent number: 8335112Abstract: A nonvolatile semiconductor memory device is provided which can accurately read data with low consumption current. The flash memory selects a memory cell according to an external address signal in response to the leading edge of a clock signal and reads data from the memory cell in response to the leading edge of the clock signal in the normal read mode, whereas, in the low-speed read mode for performing a read operation with lower power consumption than that of the normal read mode, reads data from the memory cell in response to the trailing edge of the clock signal. Therefore, data can be accurately read even if noise is generated in response to the leading edge of the clock signal in the low-speed read mode, because the noise level has dropped at the trailing edge of the clock signal.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2010Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Takashi Kono, Ken Matsubara, Takashi Iwase

Patent number: 8174901Abstract: This invention is to reduce the number of memory gate drivers, while lessening the number of times of disturb occurrence in a memory array configuration that implements writing in small byte units. A memory array comprises a plurality of sub-arrays, MG transfers, SL drivers, and CG drivers. Each sub-array includes a plurality of memory gate lines, control gate lines, source lines, and bit lines. Memory cells are arranged in positions of intersections of these lines. The control gate lines, CG drivers, source lines, and SL drivers are common to the sub-arrays, whereas the memory gate lines and MG buffer circuits are provided for each sub-array. Thereby, the units in which data is written are decreased and adverse effects of disturb are reduced without increasing the circuit size of the memory array.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2010Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Renesas Electronics CorporationInventors: Ken Matsubara, Hideo Kasai, Kenji Kawada, Makoto Mizuno
