Abstract: In the present invention, polishing lines 71f are connected to an outer circumferential high-pressure region, but are not connected to each area that is a low-pressure region. In this configuration, the polishing lines 71f are connected to the outer circumferential high-pressure region where there is high discharge pressure, so high-pressure brake fluid is introduced within the polishing lines 71f. Therefore, a pushback effect is obtained, wherein gear pumps 19 and 39 are pushed back on the basis of the high-pressure brake fluid pressure. Furthermore, the polishing lines 71f are connected to the outer circumferential high-pressure region but are not connected to each area that is a low-pressure region, so high-pressure can be maintained within the polishing lines 71f, and a reduction in the pushback effect can be prevented. Accordingly, a decrease in the loss torque reduction effect can be prevented, and the loss torque can be further reduced.

Abstract: A hydraulic brake system, including: a brake operation member; a brake device; a master cylinder; a communication switching valve; a low-pressure-source shut-off valve; a high-pressure source; a regulator; a pressure adjuster; and a controller, wherein, when a pressurizing state of the master cylinder is switched from a first pressurizing state to a second pressurizing state after initiation of an operation on the brake operation member, the controller executes a pressurizing-state switching control in which switching of a state of the low-pressure-source shut-off valve from an open state to a closed state and switching of a state of the communication switching valve from a closed state to an open state are carried out after a pressure-regulating state of the regulator has been switched from a first pressure-regulating state to a second pressure-regulating state by controlling the pressure adjuster to increase a second pilot pressure while the first pressurizing state is maintained.

Abstract: A vehicle brake device includes a hydraulic pressure control portion which performs a feed-back control so that an actual hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid approximates an instruction target pressure and a target pressure setting portion which sets the instruction target pressure to a value closer to the actual hydraulic pressure side than an operating target pressure, when a pressure deviation between the operating target pressure which is a target value of the hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid corresponding to a brake operation and the actual hydraulic pressure is larger than a first pressure difference and at the same time when the actual hydraulic pressure is approaching to the operating target pressure.

Abstract: A spool valve V1 includes a valve element 11 and a cylinder 12 having a bore 12a which accommodates the valve element 11 to be movable in an axial direction. In this spool valve V1, when the valve element 11 in an initial position moves in the axial direction in relation to the cylinder 12, a supply valve port Vi formed between the valve element 11 and the cylinder 12 opens, whereby a working fluid is introduced from a hydraulic pressure source into a hydraulic chamber through the supply valve port Vi. A throttle portion O1 is provided in a fluid channel formed on the hydraulic chamber side of the supply valve port Vi. The throttle portion O1 is configured such that in a throttle valid region which extends from the initial position to a position where the amount of axial movement of the valve element 11 from the initial position becomes equal to a predetermined value, the area of the opening formed between the valve element 11 and the cylinder 12 is constant, and in a throttle invalid region where the amount of axial movement of the valve element 11 exceeds the predetermined value, the area of the opening increases. Thus, it becomes possible to restrain occurrence of oil impact within the hydraulic chamber to which the working fluid is supplied through the spool valve V1.

Abstract: A vehicle braking control apparatus includes an obstacle detection unit configured to detect an obstacle ahead of a vehicle, and to detect a distance to the obstacle from the vehicle, and a relative speed of the obstacle with respect to the vehicle; an electronic control unit configured to generate a braking force of the vehicle automatically based on the distance and the relative speed, and to weaken the braking force when a value subtracting a deceleration amount of a vehicle speed of the vehicle since a start of generating the braking force, from a predetermined upper-limit deceleration amount is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold. The upper-limit deceleration amount is set to increase while an elapsed time increases since the start of generating the braking force, at least after a predetermined first time has passed since the start of generating the braking force.

Abstract: An abnormality monitoring circuit of an ECU includes a microcomputer, a reset circuit that resets the microcomputer, a monitor circuit that monitors the operation of the microcomputer, and an output circuit that activates an external actuator. The monitor circuit has an abnormality decision signal output section that outputs an abnormality decision signal to the output circuit when not being able to confirm that an output of a normal monitor signal of the microcomputer has occurred within an abnormality decision time. The monitor circuit has a reset decision signal output section that outputs a reset decision signal to the reset circuit when not being able to confirm that an output of the normal monitor signal of the microcomputer has occurred within a BIST (Built In Self Test) completion time of the microcomputer and a reset decision time set to a time longer than the abnormality decision time.
