Abstract: A lane departure prevention apparatus is provided to improve safety while preventing lane departure. The lane departure prevention apparatus determines whether or not the driver is holding the steering wheel steady, determines whether or not the host vehicle has a tendency to depart from its driving lane, and, on the basis of these determination results, outputs a warning and performs braking control for avoiding the lane departure of the host vehicle when the host vehicle has a tendency to depart from its driving lane, and the driver is not holding the steering wheel steady.

Abstract: A lane departure prevention apparatus is configured to conduct a course correction in a lane departure avoidance direction when the controller 8 determines that there is a potential for a vehicle to depart from a driving lane. The controller 8 combines yaw control and deceleration control to conduct departure prevention control to avoid lane departure. The yaw control is not actuated if the opposite direction from the steering direction coincides with the lane departure direction (steps S10 and S11). Preferably, the controller 8 sets the timing of yaw moment and the deceleration of the vehicle on the basis of the acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, and performs braking control so that these settings are achieved (steps S7 to S9). Preferably, the controller 8 calculates the target yaw moment in the lane departure-avoidance direction on the basis of the running state of the vehicle, and calculates the deceleration amount by taking into account the driver braking operation amount.

Abstract: A lane departure prevention apparatus is configured to conduct a course correction in a lane departure avoidance direction when the controller determines that there is a potential for a vehicle to depart from a driving lane. The controller combines yaw control and deceleration control to conduct departure prevention control in accordance with the lane departure condition and the running condition. Preferably, a target yaw moment in a lane departure avoidance direction is calculated which takes in consideration the running condition of the vehicle such as disturbances changing the vehicle behavior and the road surface friction coefficient of the driving lane, and a deceleration amount of a necessary minimum for suppressing a feeling of discomfort in the passengers stemming from the yaw moment provided to the vehicle is calculated based on the basis of the running condition of the vehicle.

Abstract: A tip plug is capped on a boss section so as to fit to a hole which is used for detaching a core which is formed in a blade tip section of the gas turbine blade. A butt-section T is melted so as to form a butt-welding section by using a YAG laser beam. Also, parameters such as an interval between the butt-section T, a member for forming the tip plug, condition for a laser welding operation, and a defocus position of the laser beam are optimized.

Abstract: A lane departure prevention apparatus is configured to conduct a course correction in a lane departure avoidance direction when the controller determines that there is a potential for a vehicle to depart from a driving lane. The lane departure prevention apparatus has a driving road detecting section and a lane departure avoidance control section. The driving road detecting section is configured to determine at least one of a road slope direction and a road curvature direction of a driving road upon which a host vehicle is traveling. The lane departure avoidance control section is configured to start lane departure avoidance control based on a driving direction of the host vehicle and at least one of a road slope direction and a road curvature direction detected by the driving road detecting section.

Abstract: A lane departure prevention apparatus is configured to avoid lane departure even when the driver is not focused on driving operations, in a state in which the system-operating switch is OFF. The lane departure prevention apparatus has a driver condition detection section or device for detecting that the condition of the driver which is a condition in which the driver cannot perceive that the host vehicle is tending toward departure, and a lane departure avoidance control device for setting the braking control for avoiding departure in an operable state when the system-operating switch for the driver to instruct the operation of control braking for avoiding the lane departure is OFF, the braking control for avoiding departure is OFF, and the driver condition detection section or device has detected that the condition of the driver is a condition in which the driver cannot perceive that the host vehicle is tending toward departure.

Abstract: A tip plug is capped on a boss section so as to fit to a hole which is used for detaching a core which is formed in a blade tip section of the gas turbine blade. A butt-section T is melted so as to form a butt-welding section by using a YAG laser beamthere; thus, the hole is plugged by the tip plug. Also, parameters such as an interval between the butt-section T, a member for forming the tip plug, condition for a laser welding operation, and a defocus position of the laser beam are optimized. By doing this, it is possible to control the entering heat amount and prevent the solidification cracking and the liquation cracking reliably. Furthermore, it is possible to melt and weld the butt-welding section more strongly by using a laser having a narrow bead width; thus, it is possible to improve the manufacturing process efficiently and produce a product in uniform quality repeatedly.

Abstract: A method of issuing cards by using a card issuing machine including a memory having stored therein an initial secret code, a card reader and a keyboard. Checking whether a secret code keyed in matches the initial secret code stored in the memory; storing in a memory a code keyed in for associating a first card with the card issuing machine and recording the associating keyed-in code in the first card by the card reader to issue the first card when the two secret codes are found to match; issuing a new card upon confirming a keyed-in first secret code of the first card; and issuing another new card upon confirming a secret code on the new card issued.
