Abstract: A fluorescence emitting module includes: a fluorescent substrate consisting essentially of a sintered fluorescent substance that includes a fluorescent material; and a rotator that rotates the fluorescent substrate about an axis extending in a thickness direction of the fluorescent substrate.

Abstract: A fluorescence emitting element includes: a wavelength conversion member that is plate-shaped and includes a fluorescent material, the wavelength conversion member including a first principal surface and a second principal surface that is on an opposite side from the first principal surface; and a metal film bonded to at least one surface out of the first principal surface and the second principal surface. In a plan view of the wavelength conversion member, the wavelength conversion member includes a region that does not overlap the metal film, and the metal film includes a bonding surface that is bonded to the at least one surface, and an exposed surface on an opposite side from the bonding surface.

Abstract: A liquid droplet ejecting apparatus comprises a liquid droplet ejecting head which has a nozzle array composed of a plurality of nozzles arranged in a first direction, a relative movement mechanism which relatively moves the liquid droplet ejecting head and a recording medium in the first direction, and a controller. The controller controls the liquid droplet ejecting head and the relative movement mechanism to record, on the recording medium, a nonuniformity correction pattern in order to correct any dispersion in a liquid droplet ejection amount among the plurality of nozzles.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a braking control system for controlling a braking force applied to each wheel of a vehicle. A steep slope detector GD is provided for determining whether the vehicle is on a steep slope, when the rear end of the vehicle is located downward. The wheel speeds of rear wheels RR, RL are held to be zero by a stop holding device SH which is adapted to supply the hydraulic braking pressure discharged from an auxiliary pressure source AS to the rear wheel brake cylinders RR, RL, when the steep slope detector GD determines that the vehicle is on the steep hill, with the rear end of the vehicle located downward, and a braking operation sensor BD detects the depression of the brake pedal BP, with the rear end of the vehicle located downward, and when it is determined that the wheel speeds of front wheels FR, FL are zero and that the wheel speeds of the rear wheels RR, RL are not zero.

Abstract: In an automobile having a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels, and a brake system for selectively braking each of the pairs of front and rear wheels, a brake control device comprises a device for detecting a backward movement of the automobile, a device for detecting a predetermined locking condition of at least one of the pair of front wheels, and a device for controlling braking force applied by the brake system to the pair of rear wheels to be stronger than braking force applied by the brake system to the pair of front wheels when the automobile is moving backward with at least one of the pair of front wheels being more locked than the predetermined locking condition.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a braking control system for controlling a braking force applied to each of front and rear wheels of a four-wheel drive vehicle, which has a front differential gear connected to the front wheels, a rear differential gear connected to the rear wheels, and a center differential gear connected to the front and rear differential gears. A wheel speed sensor is provided for detecting wheel speeds of the wheels. A non-contact detector is provided for determining whether at least one wheel is not contacting the ground in the vehicle's path, on the basis of the wheel speeds detected by the wheel sensor. A downhill detector is provided for determining whether the vehicle's path is on a downhill road. An engine brake detector is provided for determining whether the vehicle is under an engine brake.

Abstract: In an automobile having a pair of front wheels, a pair of rear wheels, a brake system for selectively braking each of the pairs of front and rear wheels, an engine, a transmission system including a speed change gear device for selectively providing a plurality of transmission gear ratios, a center differential device, a front differential device, and a rear differential device, the traction control device detects slipping conditions of each of the pairs of front and rear wheels, and controls the brake system so as to brake at least one of the pairs of front and rear wheels for execution of traction controls according to one of at least two separate traction control programs which are automatically changed over for execution according to selections of the transmission gear ratios of the speed change gear device for a relatively high speed driving or a relatively low speed driving.
