Abstract: The vehicle control system includes a braking force generating device (6, 22) configured to generate a braking force to shift a load of a vehicle to a side of front wheels thereof at an initial stage of a cornering, and a control device (31) configured to control the braking force generated by the braking force generating device. The control device calculates an additional deceleration (Gxadd) according to vehicle state information, calculates a lateral jerk equivalent value (Jy) according to the vehicle state information, and sets a lateral jerk correction coefficient (Kj) for weakening the additional deceleration. The control device corrects the additional deceleration by the lateral jerk correction coefficient (K), and calculates an additional braking force (Fbadd) to be generated by the braking force generating device according to the corrected additional deceleration.

Abstract: A polyimide precursor solution contains: an aqueous solvent containing water; particles; and a polyimide precursor, wherein the polyimide precursor has a high molecular weight region A containing a high molecular weight side maximum value and a low molecular weight region B containing a low molecular weight side maximum value in an elution curve obtained by gel permeation chromatography, a weight average molecular weight in the high molecular weight region A is 50,000 or more, a weight average molecular weight in the low molecular weight region B is 10,000 or more and 30,000 or less, and a value of a/(a+b) is 0.60 or more and 0.98 or less in which a represents an area of the high molecular weight region A and b represents an area of the low molecular weight region B.

Abstract: A boot has a large diameter tube section, a small diameter tube section, and a bellows section for connecting the large diameter tube section and the small diameter tube section. The bellows section has, in a continuous manner, first to sixth crest sections and first to sixth root sections. The angles of opening of the inner peripheral surfaces of the crests of the first to third crest sections are set smaller than the angles of opening of the inner peripheral surfaces of the crests of the fourth to sixth crest sections. Further, the wall thicknesses of tilt sections are set smaller than the wall thickness of tilt sections.

Abstract: A rotation drive force transmission mechanism has tripod constant-velocity joints coupled to respective ends of a shaft in opposite phase. Outer members of the tripod constant-velocity joints and portions of the shaft are covered with boots. When the large-diameter tube of each of the boots is fastened to the corresponding outer member by a first fastening band, a band crimping ratio is managed so as to fall within a predetermined range. Each of the outer members has a boot mount whose shape is selected to satisfy predetermined equations.

Abstract: A newly proposed wire cleaning apparatus used for removing slurry from a wire, which reciprocatively travels between a slicing chamber and a wiring chamber. The wire cleaning apparatus has a couple of multigrooved guide rollers 41, 42 rotatably provided at a cover 30. A slurry receiver 20 is detachably attached to the cover 30. A centrifugal force is generated during repeated reciprocative movement of the wire 5 between the multigrooved guide rollers 41 and 42. Slurry is shaken off from the wire 5 by the centrifugal force and gathered in the slurry receiver 20. Removal of the slurry is accelerated by spraying a cleaning liquid W at the same time. Introduction of the cleaning liquid W into the slicing chamber is inhibited by on-off control of the cleaning nozzles 41, 42 in response to a travelling direction of the wire 5.

Abstract: A sensor measures a displacement of a sensor, and a control part of a wire saw calculates a sliding load in accordance with the measured displacement and an initial tension of the wire. Then, the control part compares the calculated cutting load with a preset reference value, and controls an ingot feed speed for a drive unit of a workpiece feed table in accordance with the results of the comparison.

Abstract: A turn table is connected to a rotary shaft of a driving motor for driving a wire reel coaxially therewith. The wire reel is connected onto this turn table. With this arrangement, the wire reel is directly driven by the driving motor. Accordingly, the period of time needed for acceleration or deceleration for the driving motor can be shortened, so that through-put can be improved. Furthermore, for the driving motor, a motor being low in inertia, i.e., a small-sized motor can be used, so that a driving section can be made compact in size. Further, a space for a belt transmission mechanism, which has heretofore been necessary, can be saved, so that the driving section can be made compact in size.
