Publication number: 20100030435Abstract: In a vehicle seat control system (10), before a vehicle (60) turns a curve ahead of the vehicle (60), a control circuit (28) determines lateral acceleration that is expected to occur to the vehicle (60) while the vehicle (60) is turning the curve, and in addition, determines whether a braking operation is performed by a driver before the vehicle (60) turns the curve. When the control circuit (28) determines that an estimation value of the lateral acceleration is greater than a reference value, and that a braking operation has been performed by the driver before the vehicle (60) turns the curve, movable side support portions (26) in a vehicle seat (12) are pivoted in the closing or bending direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2007Publication date: February 4, 2010Inventors: Koji Hattori, Naoki Okada

Patent number: 7581137Abstract: A storage apparatus according to the present invention can store information related to a power supply abnormality after shutting down the principal functions of a data processing board when a power supply abnormality occurs in a data processing board. A power supply controller of a data processing board mounted in the storage apparatus monitors the operational status of DC/DC power supplies mounted to the data processing board, on the basis of detection signals from a voltage detection circuit. When a power supply abnormality is detected, the power supply controller immediately shuts down the operation of all the DC/DC power supplies. Shutting down the DC/DC power supplies also shuts down the principal functionality of the data processing board. Then, after storing information related to the power supply abnormality in memory, the power supply controller shuts down the auxiliary power supply.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Naoki Okada, Hidehiro Nagaya, Shin Nakamura

Patent number: 7454656Abstract: According to the present invention, in cases where a CHA function and a DKA function are mounted within a single package, a battery power supply that is used during the occurrence of power supply trouble is effectively utilized so that the supply of power can be separately controlled for each function. A CHA part and DKA part are disposed in a single control package. When trouble such as a power outage is detected, the CHA part blocks access requests from the host, and initiates end processing. When the end processing of the CHA part is completed, the package internal power supply control part stops the clock supply to the CHA part. Then, when the DKA part completes destage processing, the package internal power supply control part stops the supply of power to the DKA part. The power consumption of the package is lowered in stages in accordance with the progress of the end processing.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2004Date of Patent: November 18, 2008Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Naoki Okada, Kenji Mori, Nobuyuki Minowa
