Patent number: 9121687Abstract: A pinch detection device at an opening/closing section has a very simple structure that can surely detect a pinch without faulty operation in a vehicle whose power supply voltage greatly fluctuates. The pinch detection device includes a sensor for detecting displacement of an opening/closing section of a vehicle to be opened/closed by a motor, and a time counter for counting a relative time adjusted according to a fluctuation in a power supply voltage. The pinch detection device also has a pinch detector for detecting a pinch of a foreign matter at the opening/closing section according to a change in a relative speed obtained based on a change in the displacement on a basis of the relative time.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2011Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignees: RIB LABORATORY, INC., HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Setsuro Mori, Tsuyoshi Eguchi, Takanori Yamazaki, Toshikazu Karube

Patent number: 9065676Abstract: A communication circuit, a relay connecting circuit, and a communication network transmit/receive contact signals usable for automatic control. A transmitting section transmits a contact signal input into an input/output section to a communication line, and a receiving section receives a signal via the communication line. An input/output circuit outputs the contact signal received by the receiving section via the input/output section and performs an interlocking function to prevent input of another contact signal via the input/output section. A time division communication control section switches a communication direction among the transmission section, the receiving section and the input/output circuit at a time-divided timing.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignees: RIB LABORATORY, INC., HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventor: Setsuro Mori
