  • Patent number: 10131331
    Abstract: A braking force control device includes an actuator configured to control a braking force generated in vehicle wheels of a vehicle and a control unit configured to output a braking force command value to the actuator. The control unit is configured to perform at least one of the following processes of generating a braking force command value by performing a filter processing on a required braking force based on a braking operation amount using a filter having a smaller damping ratio than a damping ratio of a pitch motion of the vehicle when the required braking force increases, or generating the braking force command value by performing the filter processing on the required braking force based on the braking operation amount using a filter having a greater damping ratio than the damping ratio of the pitch motion of the vehicle when the required braking force decreases.

  • Patent number: 9090346
    Abstract: A wing structure includes: a main wing that extends in a second direction intersecting a first direction as a fluid flow direction; and an auxiliary wing that is disposed so as to be separated from the main wing and faces the main wing at the front part side of the main wing, wherein a wing chord length of the auxiliary wing is shorter than a wing chord length of the main wing. A fluid contacts the auxiliary wing which is formed at the front part side of the main wing, the fluid is guided between the auxiliary wing and the main wing, and the fluid is compressed when passing between the auxiliary wing and the main wing, thereby appropriately forming a fluid compression process region on the surface of the main wing and increasing an acting force.
