  • Publication number: 20240303699
    Abstract: The donation management system includes a mobile terminal (user device) and a server. The mobile terminal is carried by the user and includes a GPS module capable of obtaining the user's travel route. The server is configured to communicate with the mobile terminal. The server transmits a plurality of routes including a normal route and an eco route that contributes to reducing environmental load more than the normal route to the mobile terminal. The server acquires the user's travel route through communication with the mobile terminal. The server also makes a donation to a specific account managed by the social contribution company when the user's travel route indicates that the user has traveled according to an eco route.

  • Patent number: 7477036
    Abstract: In a motor-driven power steering apparatus for converting rotation of an electric motor into a linear stroke of a rack shaft by an interposition of a power transmission mechanism and steering a tire wheel connected to the rack shaft, there is provided a motor slip detecting means for previously determining a cumulative rotational speed of the electric motor corresponding to a maximum stroke displacement amount of the rack shaft, integrating the rotational speed of the electric motor, and estimating that slip or idle running is generated in a rotational force transmission system from the electric motor to the rack shaft, where the integral rotational speed of the electric motor becomes more than a prescribed cumulative rotational speed.
