  • Publication number: 20230038975
    Abstract: A cylindrical portion forms, at a first holding position, a first airflow path in which a communication portion open to a lower end of the body serves as a first introduction port for the outside air and in which a missing portion lacking a portion of a surrounding wall of the cylindrical portion serves as, by overlapping a slit open to an outer peripheral surface of the body, a first exit through which the outside air flowed in the body is discharged to above the ceiling, and forms, at a second holding position, a second airflow path in which a gap formed between an escutcheon and a heat collector projecting from the lower end of the body serves as a second introduction port for the outside air and in which the missing portion serves as a second exit through which the outside air is discharged to above the ceiling.

  • Patent number: 8090036
    Abstract: A carrier leak compensating device (2) for adding compensation values to a received transmission signal, an analog quadrature modulator (4), a feedback device (5-7) for receiving and quadrature-detecting part of an output signal of the analog quadrature modulator and outputting a feedback signal in which the frequency of each carrier signal is the same as in the transmission signal, a carrier leak detecting device (800) for detecting an I-phase carrier leak and a Q-phase carrier leak on the basis of the difference between cumulative addition values of an amplitude/phase-adjusted feedback signal and the transmission signal, and a carrier leak compensation value controller (9) for updating the compensation values on the basis of the detected carrier leak. The number of samples for the amplitude/phase detection may be smaller than the number of cumulative addition samples.

  • Publication number: 20090161778
    Abstract: It is intended to compensate for a carrier leak for any carrier arrangement. There are provided a carrier leak compensating means 2 for adding compensation values to a received transmission signal, an analog quadrature modulator 4, feedback means 5-7 for receiving and quadrature-detecting part of an output signal of the analog quadrature modulator and outputting a feedback signal in which the frequency of each carrier signal is the same as in the transmission signal, a carrier leak detecting means 800 for detecting an I-phase carrier leak and a Q-phase carrier leak on the basis of the difference between cumulative addition values of an amplitude/phase-adjusted feedback signal and the transmission signal, and a carrier leak compensation value control means 9 for updating the compensation values on the basis of the detected carrier leak. The number of samples for the amplitude/phase detection may be smaller than the number of cumulative addition samples.

  • Patent number: 5954776
    Abstract: A hydraulic control unit of an automatic transmission calculates deceleration during a coasting downshift, and calculates a piston play offsetting time, that is, the lag time that elapses between a shift decision and the start of the shift, on the basis of a correction value determined in accordance with the lag time learned from the previous shift. Based on the rate of deceleration and the piston play offsetting time, the downshift line in the speed shift map is corrected, that is, advanced in timing. Using this timing-advanced shift line, the control unit makes an earlier shift decision such that the shift starts in a proper state of operation, thus reducing shift shock during a coasting downshift and preventing excessive engine speed during a high-speed upshift.

  • Patent number: 5951616
    Abstract: A current control system for a linear solenoid for feedback-controlling an output voltage value on the basis of a difference between a command current value to the linear solenoid, as set according to a vehicle running state, and a feedback current value, as produced by monitoring a current value to be really fed to the linear solenoid, including: a decision circuit that decides whether or not the resistance value of the linear solenoid can be calculated; a real resistance value calculating circuit that calculates a real resistance value on the basis of a signal coming from the decision circuit, the command current value and the output voltage value; a comparison circuit that compares the calculated real resistance value and a resistance value in a memory unit; and a correction circuit that corrects the resistance value in the memory unit on the basis of the comparison result from the comparison circuit. The output voltage value is outputted on the basis of the corrected resistance value.
