  • Publication number: 20240017718
    Abstract: A vehicle disclosed in the present specification includes a front braking unit, a rear braking unit, a steering unit configured to change a turning angle of at least one of the front wheels and the rear wheels, and a braking controller configured to control operations of the front braking unit and the rear braking unit to brake the vehicle. The braking controller is configured to change a ratio between a front braking force and a rear braking force according to a turning angle when the vehicle is braked. In the vehicle that is making a turn, the wheels are likely to sideslip when the vehicle is braked, and the tendency is changed according to a degree of a turn. Therefore, the sideslip of the wheels is effectively suppressed by changing the ratio between the front braking force and the rear braking force according to the turning angle.

  • Patent number: 11807307
    Abstract: A vehicle base structure includes a rear member having an attachment portion at which a trailing arm is attached, and a reinforcing member disposed to be overlaid on the rear member. The rear member and the reinforcing member configure at least a part of a reinforcing portion. The reinforcing portion has a tubular shape extending in the vehicle front-rear direction. In at least a part along the vehicle front-rear direction, a cross section of the reinforcing portion perpendicular to the vehicle front-rear direction is a closed cross-sectional shape.

  • Patent number: 11749242
    Abstract: A signal processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes outputting a second sound signal by varying a level of a portion of a band of a first sound signal based on a second parameter corresponding to a displacement of each of a plurality of operators, the first sound signal being identified by a first parameter corresponding to the displacement, the second parameter being different from the first parameter.

  • Patent number: 5157310
    Abstract: A changeover circuit for a retrace capacitor switches ON/OFF a retrace capacitor for generating retrace pulses. The retrace pulses are necessary for preferable horizontal or vertical scanning in a TV picture tube, a mounting display or the like. A relay for opening/closing the connection between the retrace capacitor and the ground is provided and the ON/OFF operation of the relay is controlled by a control circuit. A diode is provided in parallel to the relay so as to suppress the on-state resistance and the negative inrush current.

  • Patent number: 4943859
    Abstract: A microcomputer (11) supplies pulse width data (12) which is responsive to the frequency of a synchronizing signal (SS). A flip-flop (14) is set on the trailing edge of the synchronizing signal (SS). A counter (15) counts clock pulses (18) in a high-level period of output from the flip-flop (14), and supplies the result of measurement (19) to a comparator (13). The comparator (13) compares the pulse width data (12) with the result of measurement (19), and supplies a reset signal (20) to the flip-flop (14) upon a judgement on coincidence. The flip-flop (14) is reset in response to the reset signal (20). Thus, the pulse width of a clamp pulse (CS) outputted from the flip-flop (14) can be controlled on the basis of the pulse width data (12).
