Abstract: In a rotation angle detection device, when a condition that two sensors among three magnetic sensors sense one and the same magnetic pole for three consecutive sampling periods is satisfied, a rotation angle is computed based on output signals from the two sensors, sampled at three sampling timings. When the output signals sampled at the three sampling timings satisfy a prescribed requirement, an angular width error correction value corresponding to the magnetic pole sensed by the two sensors and amplitudes are computed, and stored in association with the magnetic pole. If the condition is not satisfied, the rotation angle is computed based on the information stored in a memory and the output signals from two sensors among the three magnetic sensors, the two magnetic sensors including one of the three magnetic sensors, which detects the magnetic pole of which the angular width error correction value is stored in the memory.

Abstract: In a phase difference detector, a first phase difference computation unit computes a value of E(i)·C corresponding to one and the same given magnetic pole sensed by the two magnetic sensors with use of six output signals sampled at three different timings while the two magnetic sensors are sensing the given magnetic pole when a rotary body is rotating. E is an angular width error correction value, and C is a phase difference between two signals. The first phase difference computation unit executes this process until values of E(i)·C corresponding to all the magnetic poles are computed. After that, the first phase difference computation unit computes the phase difference between the output signals with use of the values of E(i)·C corresponding to all the magnetic poles and the number (m) of the magnetic poles.

Abstract: Rotation angle computation modes include a normal mode and a simple mode. In normal mode, a rotation angle of an input shaft is computed based on output signals from first and second magnetic sensors, which are sampled at two sampling timings. In simple mode, the rotation angle of the input shaft is computed based on the output signals from the first and second magnetic sensors, which are sampled at one sampling timing, and an amplitude ratio between the output signals from the magnetic sensors set in advance. After a power supply is turned on, the rotation angle is computed in the simple mode until a condition that the rotation angle of the input shaft can be computed in the normal mode even if the immediately preceding value of the rotation angle of the input shaft is not present is satisfied. Then, the rotation angle is computed in the normal mode.

Abstract: In a rotation angle detecting device, a first magnetic sensor and a second magnetic sensor are disposed at an interval of an electrical angle of 120 degrees around a rotation center axis of a rotor. An output signal of the first magnetic sensor is expressed by V1=sin ?, and an output signal of the second magnetic sensor is expressed by V2=sin(?+120). A determination device determines whether both the magnetic sensors are normal, or there is a failure in at least one of the magnetic sensors, based on whether an expression of L?V12+V22+V1·V2?0.75?U is satisfied, where L is a lower limit and U is an upper limit.

Abstract: Sinusoidal signals (S1, S2) having a phase difference of 120° are output from two magnetic sensors in accordance with rotation of an input shaft. A first rotation angle computation unit computes a rotation angle ?(n) on the basis of output signals S1(n), S1(n?1), S2(n), S2(n?1) from the magnetic sensors, which are sampled at two sampling timings. At this time, the first rotation angle computation unit computes the rotation angle ?(n) on the assumption that there are no variations of amplitudes of the output signals (S1, S2) from each one of the two sensors due to temperature changes between the two sampling timings.

Abstract: Angular widths of respective magnetic poles of a detection rotor are stored and divisions are set for respective magnetic pole pairs. Based on output signals from first and second magnetic sensors, a rotation angle computation unit computes first and second rotation angles that are rotation angles within the corresponding division. Based on the angular widths, the rotation angle computation unit identifies the magnetic pole sensed by the first magnetic sensor and computes a first absolute rotation angle using the first rotation angle. Based on the identified magnetic pole and the second rotation angle, the rotation angle computation unit computes a second absolute rotation angle. The rotation angle of the detection rotor is computed based on the first and second absolute angles.

Abstract: In a warning device for a vehicle, a basic target current value setting unit sets a basic target current value based on a steering torque and a vehicle speed. When a lane deviation determining unit determines that there is a high possibility that a vehicle will deviate from a lane, a warning vibration wave generator generates a warning vibration wave containing a plurality of frequency components. A target current value is computed by adding the warning vibration wave to the basic target current value. A motor current to be applied to an electric motor is controlled so as to approach the target current value.

Abstract: A road friction coefficient estimating unit calculates a tire sideslip angle and a cornering force, and estimates a road friction coefficient on the basis of the ratio of the calculated cornering force to the calculated tire sideslip angle. A vehicle travels on multiple road surfaces that differ in road friction coefficient, and tire sideslip angles and cornering forces on the road surfaces are detected in advance. The road friction coefficient estimating unit stores, in a memory, a correlation among the detected tire sideslip angles, the detected cornering forces, and the road friction coefficients in the form of numerical values or a mathematical expression, and estimates a road friction coefficient using the correlation stored in the memory.
