Abstract: The invention provides a control unit and a control system for a vehicle capable of reducing a workload of deleting a record of information of an unintended event detected by a certain control unit by preventing the other control unit from recording the information of the event. Control units (50a to 50d) that are mounted on the vehicle and connected in a mutually communicable manner each include an event processing section (55). The event processing section (55) executes one or both of processing to switch whether to notify a recording request of the information of the event and processing to switch necessity/unnecessity of recording of the information of the event.

Abstract: To provide a rubber composition excellent in elasticity and low loss property. A rubber composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a chloroprene rubber and from 1.2 to 3.0 parts by weight of cellulose nanofibers, characterized in that a vulcanized sheet obtained by vulcanizing the rubber composition has a 100% tensile stress (M100) increased by 1.5 MPa or more per part by weight of the cellulose nanofibers added, where the increase of M100 is calculated by subtracting M100 of a vulcanized sheet containing no cellulose nanofibers from M100 of the vulcanized sheet containing the cellulose nanofibers, and dividing the difference by the amount of the cellulose nanofibers contained.

Abstract: Fletching wear caused by elastic deformation in the axial direction of an input-side disk 2c due to thrust force of a pressure device is prevented.

Abstract: A control apparatus for a power window device stores a speed control start position that is set between a fully open position and a fully closed position, and a speed control end position that is set adjacently to the fully open position. While driving a windowpane in a direction toward the fully open position, the control apparatus reduces a motor output after the windowpane reaches the speed control start position until it reaches the speed control end position. The control apparatus de-energizes a motor when the windowpane reaches the speed control end position. The speed control end position is set at a position, from which the windowpane cannot reach the fully open position with its movement speed at the time the motor is de-energized.

The metal belt includes a metal ring assembly having a plurality of endless metal rings laminated on one another and a plurality of metal elements supported on the metal ring assembly. The metal belt is wound around the drive pulley and the driven pulley. The movable pulley half of the drive pulley has a flexural stiffness higher than that of the fixed pulley half of the drive pulley, wherein it is difficult for the edges of the metal ring assembly to contact the metal elements and a V-face of the drive pulley.

Abstract: Improvements are made to a multi-body simulation (MBS) for computing belt dynamics in metal pushing V-Belts for CVTs. All of the improvements combine to more accurately model the forces in the CVT mechanism, and also provide insight into the mechanism performance. One improvement more accurately captures effects of ring bending, using ring and block gap geometry to calculate bending forces and torques. A second improvement is implementation of a thrust controller to adjust pulley thrust to control CVT input/output speed ratio. Pulley thrust is adjusted by means of a feedback loop until a desired speed ratio is obtained. Finally, pulley conical (tilt) deflection is modeled using a stiffness representation that is a function of the block radius on the pulley face.

Abstract: The rigidity of a movable pulley half is enhanced by the rigidity of a cylinder fixed to a back surface of the movable pulley half and influences of a controlled hydraulic pressure and a centrifugal hydraulic pressure which are exerted in a hydraulic fluid chamber partitioned in the cylinder. On the other hand, an annular protruding portion having detection teeth for a rotation sensor is formed on a back surface of an outer circumferential portion of a fixed pulley half, whereby the difference in rigidity between both the pulley halves is reduced by the effect of the annular protruding portion to improve the rigidity of the fixed pulley half, thereby making it possible to allow the variation characteristics of a misalignment relative to a drive ration to approach a characteristic set in advance.
