Abstract: A load driving device supplies power to drive a solenoid valve from a high-voltage power source via a discharge MOSFET or from a direct current power source via a constant-current MOSFET. A return current flows through a reflux MOSFET. A control circuit determines an operation state of the reflux MOSFET by detecting a drain voltage of the reflux MOSFET as a detection voltage. When the reflux MOSFET does not turn ON due to a gate-ground fault, the return current flows through a parasitic diode and the control circuit can determine such a fault based on the detection voltage.

Abstract: A steering control device includes a command value setting processing portion configured to set a current command value based on a detection value of steering torque; a feedback processing portion configured to control a voltage applied to a motor so as to control a current flowing through the motor to the current command value, based on an output value of an integral element obtained by using a difference between the current and the current command value; an end determination processing portion configured to determine whether a turning angle of steered wheels has reached a limit angle; and an end-time limit processing portion configured to perform correction to increase a magnitude of the difference, based on a degree of a decrease in a magnitude of a rotational speed of the motor when the end determination processing portion determines that the turning angle has reached the limit angle.

Abstract: A steering control device includes a feedback processing portion configured to control a current flowing through a motor to a current command value; an end determination processing portion configured to determine whether a turning angle of steered wheels has reached a limit angle; and an end-time limit processing portion configured to limit a magnitude of the current command value to a magnitude of a limited current value or smaller, when the end determination processing portion determines that the turning angle has reached the limit angle. The limited current value is a value obtained by performing correction to decrease a magnitude of a detected value of the current flowing through the motor at a time when the end determination processing portion determines that the turning angle has reached the limit angle, based on a degree of a decrease in a magnitude of a rotational speed of the motor.

Abstract: The present invention achieves a disc recording and reproducing apparatus capable of using an inexpensive disc by loosening the tolerance of track offset of each layer of a multilayer optical disc, and capable of ensuring the reliability of the disc by relieving external forces exerted on the disc at the loading or unloading of the disc. A disc holder that rotates while holding a multilayer optical disc is configured of a non-moving part fixed to a rotating shaft, and a moving part. Actuators are used to drive the moving part having the optical disc fixed thereto relative to the non-moving part, thereby correcting the offset of a recording layer with respect to the rotating shaft.
