  • Patent number: 8090506
    Abstract: An electrically operated mirror control device comprises a controller which includes a reverse linking unit for carrying out a reverse linking operation to tilt a mirror to change a mirror surface angle in linking with reversing of a vehicle, and a mirror switch which adjusts an amount of a change in the mirror surface angle of the mirror in the reverse linking operation. When the controller detects a predetermined operation in the reverse linking operation, a reverse angle memorizing control unit changes a first setting stored in a memorizing unit into a second setting of the mirror surface angle including the amount of the change in the mirror surface angle adjusted by the mirror switch at an end of the reverse linking operation.

  • Patent number: 7770327
    Abstract: If a supply voltage for a motor drops below a predetermined level during movement of a windowpane, a controller of a power window system outputs a stop signal instructing the motor to stop rotating, and stores in a memory a first position and a motion direction of the windowpane derived from a first signal generated by a transducer (signal generator). The controller compares a second position of the windowpane derived from a second signal generated by the transducer when the supply voltage for the motor is restored to the predetermined level or higher with the first position of the windowpane stored in the memory. If the second position is different from the first position, the first position stored in the memory is corrected toward the motion direction by an amount corresponding to a difference between the first and second positions.

  • Patent number: 7315145
    Abstract: A system of controlling a sliding member for a vehicle includes a motor, a pulse generating device, a counting device and a control device. The system has a range for movement of the sliding member between a position short of a first lock position and a position short of a second lock position. Also, the system has an error range within the range for movement of the sliding member and memorizes in advance a range of pulse count representative of the error range. If a pulse count counted by the counting device falls within the range of pulse count when the sliding member discontinues movement due to detection of an overload of the motor, the system resets a pulse count counted by the counting device at one of the first and second lock positions.
