  • Publication number: 20230015844
    Abstract: A lock release control device for an opening and closing body configured to control an opening and closing body that opens and closes an opening portion of a vehicle. The opening and closing body comes into contact with a sealing member provided on a vehicle body side of the vehicle in a fully closed state. The vehicle includes a locking device and an opening and closing actuator. The locking device restrains the opening and closing body in a fully closed position. The opening and closing actuator displaces the opening and closing body by rotation of a motor to change the opening and closing body from one of two states including an open state and a closed state to another of the states. The lock release control device is configured to execute an open command acquisition process, a pull-in process, and a lock release process.

  • Patent number: 11476029
    Abstract: A coil component includes a drum core and first and second wires. The first wire includes a first extending portion. The second wire includes a third extending portion. The first and third extending portions are not in contact with each other. Each of the first and second wires includes a coat including a first region and a second region. The coat in the first and third extending portions is the second region at least in part. The coat is the first region at a contacting point where the first and second wires are in contact for the first time from a first flange portion in the drum core.

  • Patent number: 11255117
    Abstract: A control apparatus controlling an opening and closing member for a vehicle includes a drive control unit operating an opening and closing member of the vehicle by a motor serving as a drive source, and a catch detection unit detecting a catch of a foreign object caught by the opening and closing member in response to a current value of the motor. The drive control unit includes a motor control signal output unit outputting a motor control signal for supplying a drive power to the motor, and an advance-angle value setting unit setting an advance-angle value for advancing a phase of the motor control signal. The advance-angle value setting unit includes an advance-angle value increase prohibition unit prohibiting increase setting of the advance-angle value in a case where the current value of the motor reaches an advance-angle value increase prohibition current value.
