  • Publication number: 20150224970
    Abstract: In a vehicle brake control device for generating rear wheel braking torque by an electric motor, “slip suppression control of the rear wheel” for reducing rear wheel braking torque by controlling the electric motor is executed based on a slip state quantity of the rear wheel. Further, “sudden-stop control” for rapidly stopping electric motor rotation motion is executed based on a slip state quantity of a front wheel. The sudden-stop control is executed when rear wheel slip suppression control is not being executed. As the sudden-stop control, “control for changing an energization amount of the electric motor stepwise to an energization limit value set in advance corresponding to a deceleration direction of the electric motor” may be executed. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress excessive rear wheel slip due to inertia influences or the like of the electric motor when execution of the rear wheel slip suppression control is started.

  • Patent number: 8175273
    Abstract: In quantum cryptography communication, a sequence of signals in the form of quantum states randomly selected from a plurality of quantum states each having a different phase modulation angle is transmitted from a data transmitting apparatus. In a data receiving apparatus, if the sequence of samples is received, a plurality of bases corresponding to a plurality of different phase modulation angles are randomly selected, and a homodyne detection process is performed using the selected bases. Information indicating the bases used in the homodyne detection process is sent to the transmitting apparatus. In the data transmitting apparatus, depending on the bases used in the receiving apparatus, bit values are assigned to the plurality of different quantum states selected by the transmitting apparatus, and information indicating the assigned bit values is sent to the data receiving apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8165298
    Abstract: In a quantum cryptography communication apparatus, a light pulse is generated by a light source and split into a signal light pulse and a reference light pulse on a receiving side. The signal light pulse and the reference light pulse are transmitted to a sending side via a communication channel. On the sending side, the received reference light is passed through a first optical path and phase-modulated by a randomly selected amount. Communication information is acquired on the basis of the reference light passed through the first optical path and the signal light passed via a second optical path. Frequencies of the signal light pulse and the reference light pulse are shifted. The intensity of the signal light pulses is attenuated and phase-modulated by an amount corresponding to the communication information. The resultant signal light pulse and the reference light pulse are returned back to the receiving side.

  • Publication number: 20080185667
    Abstract: An Mo film (6) is formed on a SiO2 film (5) by particularly using the film thickness and the deposition temperature (ambient temperature in a sputtering chamber) as the primary parameters and adjusting the film thickness to be within the range from 100 nm to 500 nm (more preferably 100 nm to 300 nm) and the deposition temperature to be within the range from 25° C. to 300° C., so as to control residual stress to have a predetermined value of 300 MPa or greater and to be oriented to increase the in-plane lattice constant. There can be thus provided a reliable CMOSTFT in which desired strain is easily and reliably imparted to polysilicon thin films (4a and 4b) to improve the mobility therein without adding an extra step of imparting the strain to the silicon thin film.
