  • Patent number: 5835846
    Abstract: A transmission power control method in a mobile satellite communication system implementing accurate control of transmission power of a base station by obtaining an average received signal level at a mobile station at high accuracy. The mobile station measures an average received signal level Q.sub.k in a predetermined period (step SP2), and informs the base station of the average received signal level Q.sub.k and an actual measuring time T.sub.k (step SP3). The base station calculates a total measuring time t.sub.k which is the sum total of the actual measuring time T.sub.k (step SP16), a corrected average received signal level R.sub.k associated with the average received signal level during the total measuring time t.sub.k (step SP18), and a measuring error .DELTA.D.sub.k (step SP17), and controls the transmission power on the basis of these values (step SP21). Estimating the measuring error .DELTA.D.sub.k in the total measuring time t.sub.k longer than the individual actual measuring time T.sub.

  • Patent number: 5767642
    Abstract: In an electromotive power steering device, when input is received in a reverse direction, i.e., from the road, no assist torque connection is made in the reverse direction. The upper inertial moment is appropriately compensated for. Detection signals from each sensor are received and converted to an input torque, vehicle speed and phase angle. An assist torque command value is calculated from the input torque and the vehicle speed, and an angular velocity and angular acceleration are calculated from the phase angle. Subsequently, the inertial moment of the steering wheel is read and multiplied by the angular acceleration, thereby computing the inertial torque of the steering wheel. It is then determined whether the multiplication of the input torque and the angular velocity results in a positive value or a negative value. Only when the value is positive, correction is made of the assist torque command value.
