Abstract: An overcurrent detecting device for detecting an overcurrent in a load circuit, includes a DC power supply, a load, a semiconductor switch that controls ON/OFF of the load, a driver circuit that outputs a driving signal to the semiconductor switch, a reference voltage generating circuit that generates a reference voltage from the DC power supply, a voltage drop generating circuit that includes a resistor for generating a voltage drop and generates a voltage drop in the resistor for generating a voltage drop, a decision voltage generating circuit that generates, as a decision voltage, a voltage corresponding to a voltage obtained by adding a voltage drop generated when the semiconductor switch is turned ON and a voltage drop generated in the resistor for generating a voltage drop, and a comparing circuit that compares the decision voltage with the reference voltage and outputs a disconnecting command signal of the semiconductor switch to the driver circuit when the decision voltage is greater than the referenc

Abstract: A suspension system for an automobile wherein after having been changed to a "HARD" mode upon commencement of the turning movement, the characteristic of the suspension is not restored to the standard condition until completion of the turning movement is detected so that a stable running performance is obtained irrespective of the status of the curve of a road while good riding comfort at normal running is also maintained.
