Abstract: A vehicle steering apparatus is configured to apply, to a steered wheel of a vehicle, a driving force for canceling a toe change amount caused by a road irregularity. The vehicle steering apparatus includes a road reaction force detector configured to detect a road reaction force received by a tire of the steered wheel, a toe adjustment actuator coupled to the steered wheel, and a controller configured to control a driving force of the toe adjustment actuator. The controller includes a toe change amount setter configured to set the toe change amount based on the road reaction force detected by the road reaction force detector, an operation amount calculator configured to calculate an actuator operation amount for canceling the toe change amount set by the toe change amount setter, and a driver configured to drive the toe adjustment actuator by the actuator operation amount calculated by the operation amount calculator.

Abstract: A front-rear wheel driving force distribution device includes a center differential and a limited slip differential. The limited slip differential includes a first clutch, a second clutch, a first piston, a second piston, and a one-way clutch provided between the first clutch and a rear propeller shaft. If the second clutch is engaged by the second piston, the propeller shaft on the rear side rotates at increased speed as compared with a case where the first clutch is engaged by the first piston. The one-way clutch couples the first clutch and the rear propeller shaft if a number of rotations of the first clutch is same as or higher than a number of rotations of the rear propeller shaft, and idles if the number of rotations of the first clutch is lower than the number of rotations of the rear propeller shaft.

Abstract: A wavelength conversion device includes a wavelength converter having a plate shape and a plurality of antennas. The wavelength converter converts a wavelength of incident light and generates wavelength-converted light and emits the wavelength-converted light. The plurality of antennas are disposed on a light-emitting surface of the wavelength converter. The plurality of antennas form an antenna array in a first region of the light-emitting surface. The respective plurality of antennas are arranged with a predetermined period in the first region. The antenna array is absent in a second region outside the first region. An optical path length from a light-receiving surface of the wavelength converter to the light-emitting surface of the incident light that reaches a light-emitting surface of the first region is longer than an optical path length from the light-receiving surface to the light-emitting surface of the incident light that reaches a light-emitting surface of the second region.

Abstract: To provide a composite electronic part capable of achieving small-sized formation as a whole by reducing a number of parts, a main plate structure and an electronic timepiece using the same. A composite electric part such as a main plate structure of an electronic timepiece, includes a nonconductive main body portion and at least one conductive portion supported by the nonconductive main body portion, the nonconductive main body portion includes a nonconductive carbon nanotube, the conductive portion includes a conductive carbon nanotube and is molded integrally with the nonconductive main body portion and at least two terminal portions exposed to surfaces of the nonconductive main body portion to give a transfer path of an electric signal between two contact portions of electric parts other than the composite electric part.
