摘要:
A steering system for a vehicle having a steering wheel and front and rear wheels, including a front steering sub-system for steering the front wheels in accordance with the steering angle of the steering wheel and a rear steering sub-system for steering the rear wheels in the same and opposite directions with respect to the front wheels in accordance with the steering angle of the steering wheel. The steering system is provided with a rack and pinion type variable-ratio mechanism for varying the ratio of the steered angle of at least either of the front or rear wheels to the steering angle of the steering wheel in accordance with the magnitude of the steering angle of the steering wheel. The design freedom in setting a functional relation between the steering angle of the steering wheel and the turning curvature of the vehicle is thus maximized. Moreover, selective setting is permitted for change of ratio of the steered angle of the rear wheels to the steering angle in the vicinity of the initial position of the steering wheel. Further, there is permitted a favorable use of available vehicle dimensions to achieve an optimum feeling characteristic of steering operation.

A vehicular steering system which includes a steering wheel, front wheels and a steering mechanism therefor, and rear wheels and a steering mechanism therefor, the front and rear wheel steering mechanisms serving to steer both the front and rear wheels by operation of the steering wheel. The steering system is provided with a front wheel steering system connecting the steering wheel with the front wheels through the front wheel steering mechanism, a connection path connecting the front wheel steering mechanism with the rear wheel steering mechanism, a rear wheel steering system connecting the steering wheel with the rear wheels through the connection path and the rear wheel steering mechanism, and an auxiliary power mechanism connected to the connection path so as to assist steering operation of the steering wheel. The steering system provides for reduction in the steering torque appropriately in response to a resultant force of an external force acting on the front wheels from the road surface plus an external force acting on the rear wheels from the road surface at the time of steering operation for both wheels. The connection path of the system is arranged above lower vehicle members such as an exhaust pipe and a fuel tank, so that such members protect the connection path from damage.

A hydraulic shock absorber for vehicles which includes a cylinder, a piston, a piston rod and a piston rod guide. In order to minimize noises which might otherwise be transmitted to the vehicular chassis through the piston rod, the piston rod is constructed of axially arranged divided piston rod members which are integrally connected through an elastic member. The piston rod guide may include radially arranged divided rod guide members which are integrally connected through an elastic member.

A grinding machine includes a spindle head for rotatably driving a crankshaft around a journal center as a rotational axis and, two wheel heads that support respective two grinding wheels and that advance and retract in a direction perpendicular to the rotational axis independently with each other. Two of plural pin portions of the rotating crankshaft are simultaneously ground by the respective two grinding wheels, in which rotational phases of the two pin portions are different from each other. Further, the rotational phases of the two pin portions are stored as a combination in a memory. The two pin portions are simultaneously ground in accordance with the combination by the respective two grinding wheels.

In a multi-location television conference system that connects five locations A, B, C, D, and E, when speeches take place at the four locations A, B, C, and D at the same time, at a listening location E, images of all the speaking locations A, B, C, and D are displayed on one screen with four divided screen areas. On the other hand, at the speaking location A, images of the speaking locations B, c, and D and an image of the former speaking location E are displayed on one screen with four divided screen areas. In addition, when images of speaking locations are displayed, locations names thereof are also displayed. Thus, a television conference held at a plurality of locations at a time can be smoothly managed as with a real conventional conference.
摘要:
A multi-site video conference control system comprising a number of video conference terminals respectively situated at a number of sites and a video conference control unit for controlling a video conference. A communication line interface provided at each terminal makes a single calling with respect to the video conference control unit. A connection data section, which is provided at each terminal, manages connection data for other terminals to be connected and transmits the connection data to the video conference control unit. A control calling section, which is provided at the video conference control unit, calls the terminal corresponding to the connection data to be transmitted from the connection data section, based on the single calling. A connection controller, which is provided at the video conference control unit, connects the calling terminal, whose communication line interface made the single calling, and the other terminals called by the control calling section, with communication lines.
摘要:
A steering system (1) for vehicles including a front wheel steering mechanism (1a) for steering front wheels (5) at an angle in accordance with a steering operation of a driver, and a rear wheel steering mechanism (1b) for steering rear wheels (11) at an angle (Sr) in accordance with a travelling state of the vehicle. For the steering of the rear wheel, a reference steering angle (Ar) according to a turning state of the vehicle and a corrective steering angle (Ac) according to a velocity derivative thereof are computed, and the steering angle (Sr) of the rear wheel is obtained by making either an addition or a subtraction of the reference and corrective steering angles at least in accordance with the velocity derivative.
摘要:
A steering assembly for a motor vehicle includes a trailing arm pivotally supported on a pivot shaft extending substantially transversely of the motor vehicle and rotatably supporting a wheel at a rear end thereof, at least three links each having one end pivotally coupled to said trailing arm and extending substantially transversely of the motor vehicle, and a steering gear box for steering the wheel. One of the three links, i.e., the first link, has an opposite end operatively coupled to said steering gear box. The other two links are coupled to the trailing arm by respective joints interconnected by a straight line serving as a kingpin axis serving as a steering center of the wheel.
