  • Patent number: 8775026
    Abstract: A steering control device obtains a command steering reactive force according to a wheel angle based on a wheel angle and table data representing the correlation between the wheel angle and the command steering reactive force, and which controls an electric-control brake to make the steering reactive force equal to the command steering reactive force. The steering control device: obtains a correction coefficient according to vehicle state amounts based on the vehicle state amounts other than the wheel angle, which are detected by vehicle state amount detecting means, and table data representing the correlation between the vehicle state amounts and the correction coefficients; corrects the table data by using the correction coefficients; obtains a command steering reactive force according to the wheel angle based on the table data and the wheel angle; and controls the electric-control brake to make the steering reactive force equal to the command steering reactive force.

  • Publication number: 20140123966
    Abstract: A control apparatus 57 is a 2-input, 2-output integral-type optimal servo system in which intake air amount and intake oxygen concentration are used as control quantities (y1, y2) and the degree of opening of a control valve of an exhaust gas recirculation apparatus and the degree of opening of a control valve of a supercharger equipped with a variable flow rate mechanism are used as manipulated quantities (u1, u2), and includes an output feedback system. The control apparatus (57) is provided with an EGR valve opening degree unit (70) and an opening rate valve of the supercharger. Each of the control units includes a non-interference controller (64) for eliminating interference between the manipulated quantity for the control valve of the exhaust gas recirculation apparatus and the manipulated quantity for the control valve of the supercharger equipped with the variable flow rate mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20110060503
    Abstract: A steering control device for imparting a steering reactive force to the steering wheel. The steering control device for fork lifts determines a command steering reactive force corresponding to the wheel angle from the wheel angle detected by a wheel angle sensor (41) and table data (60) representing the correlation between the wheel angle and the command steering reactive force and controls an electric brake (31) so that the steering reactive force is equal to the command steering reactive force. A correction coefficient (?1) corresponding to a vehicle state quantity and so forth are determined from the vehicle state quantity (e.g., the wheel angle difference (??)) other than the wheel angle detected by a vehicle state quantity detecting means (e.g., a steering wheel angle sensor (23)) and table data (52) representing the correlation between the vehicle state quantity and the correction coefficient. The table data (60) is corrected by using the correction coefficient (the inclination (?) is determined).

  • Patent number: 6414452
    Abstract: A waveform control unit of a vibrating table comprises: an off-line compensation wave generator which generates an off-line compensation wave on the basis of the inverse characteristic of the vibrating table determined before performing an excitation and a target wave; and an on-line compensation wave generator which generates an on-line compensation wave on the basis of the inverse characteristic of the vibrating table during the excitation determined on the basis of the data of an excitation wave and a reproduced wave during the excitation and the target wave, and it switches the excitation wave to a mixed compensation wave based on the on-line compensation wave from the off-line compensation wave, during the excitation.
