  • Publication number: 20170015323
    Abstract: Appropriate vehicle stability control is enabled in a vehicle configured to carry out regeneration enhancement control. A predictive deceleration support control unit is configured to set a position at which the vehicle is predicted to finish deceleration as a target deceleration end position, and guide a driver to release an accelerator pedal so that the deceleration of the vehicle is finished at the target deceleration end position, to thereby carry out regeneration enhancement control under a state in which the accelerator pedal is released so as to generate a larger deceleration than in a normal state. The predictive deceleration support control unit is configured to read a vehicle stability control flag from a brake ECU and stop the regeneration enhancement control when the vehicle stability control is being carried out.

  • Patent number: 8690644
    Abstract: An arm 21 has a shape for grasping a part in a circumferential direction of a tool holder 7. The arm 21 is connected to the tool holder 7 with a bolt 23 inserted into a fixing hole 22 provided in a base side portion of the arm 21. A tapped hole 25 used for exchangeably attaching a cutting tool 24 is formed in a tip side portion of the arm 21. A groove part 26 extending in parallel to an axis of the tool holder 7 is formed in a position close to the base portion of the arm 21. Owing to the groove part 26, the arm 21 works as an elastic hinge when an external force is applied, so as to increase or decrease a radial dimension of the cutting tool 24 while keeping its parallelism to the axis of the tool.

  • Patent number: 8424426
    Abstract: A non-round hole boring device capable of machining a work in a desired cross sectional shape by a simple configuration. The non-round hole boring device (1) comprises cylindrical arbors (11, 21), shafts (12, 22) stored in the arbors (11, 21), respectively, a cutting tool (13) attached to the outer peripheral surface of the arbor (11), a cam (121) formed on the shaft (12) and pressing the cutting tool (13), a first rotary encoder (252), a second rotary encoder (241), an arbor motor (23) for rotatingly driving the arbors (11, 21), a shaft motor (24) for rotatingly driving the shafts (12, 22), and a controller (40). The controller (40) advances or retards the phases of the rotating angles of the shafts (12, 22) relative to the phases of the rotating angles of the arbors (11, 21), respectively, while rotating the arbors (11, 21) and the shafts (12, 22) in synchronism with each other, respectively.
