    摘要: A vehicular brake system includes a brake actuator that enables brake assist to be carried out, the brake assist increasing a braking force exhibited by wheel brakes in response to a braking operation input by a vehicle driver in comparison with the braking force when it is unassisted. The system further includes braking operation detection means for detecting a braking operation by the driver; emergency avoidance steering operation detection means for detecting an emergency avoidance steering operation by the driver, and actuator control means for controlling operation of the brake actuator so as to carry out the brake assist in response to the detection means detecting a braking operation while an emergency avoidance steering operation is being detected by the detection means or during a period from the detection of the emergency avoidance steering operation by the detection means to the time when a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the detection has ended.

    摘要: In a vehicle safety running apparatus, when a route guidance by a navigation system is not in operation, a determination on passableness is carried out as a target on a branch road of a plurality of branch roads branched from an intersection ahead of the subject vehicle which has lowest with respect to the degree of difficulty in running or a branch road having a smallest intersection angle formed by a road on which the subject vehicle is advancing and the branch road and a curve on the branch road, whereby an automatic deceleration control can be performed or an alarm can be given to the driver even when the route guidance is not in operation, and moreover the automatic deceleration control and/or alarming the driver is prevented from being performed unnecessarily, thereby making it possible to suppress to a minimum level the physical disorder that the driver may feel.

    摘要: A vehicle control system controls vehicle speed and provides a warning by deciding whether or not the prevailing vehicle speed allows the vehicle to pass a curve in the road ahead in accordance with the surrounding environment of the vehicle. The system calculates a gaze angle, .theta. which is made between a direction a of a vehicle in its actual position P.sub.0 and a segment b joining the actual position P.sub.0 and a prospective position P.sub.n. The vehicle speed control or warning is performed when the gaze angle .theta. exceeds a reference gaze angle. This reference gaze angle varies with the angle of view of the driver. At high-speed travel or at night where the drivers visibility angle is reduced, the reference gaze angle is set to a small value so that the vehicle control may be advanced. At low-speed travel or in the daytime where the driver's visibility angle is increased, the reference gaze angle is set to a large value so that the vehicle control may be delayed.

    摘要: A universal joint comprises a pair of yokes each formed by bending a metal plate, a single piece of cross shaft for connecting the pair of yokes to each other so as to be capable of oscillating and displacing, and a bolt for fixing each of the yokes to an end portion of a shaft. The yoke includes a joint cylindrical portion provided at a proximal end portion thereof and having a discontinuous portion at one place in a circumferential direction, first and second flange portions provided in parallel to each other at a part of the joint cylindrical portion with the discontinuous portion sandwiched in therebetween, a through-hole formed in the first flange portion thereof in such a direction as to bear a torsion positional relationship with the joint cylindrical portion, a screw hole formed in a fixing portion of the second flange portion and disposed concentrically to the through-hole. The bolt has a large-diameter head portion formed at one end of a bar portion and a male screw portion formed similarly at the other end thereof, and is fastened in such as state that the bar portion is inserted into the through-hole from a side opposite to the screw hole, the male screw portion is screwed into the screw hole, and a one-side surface of the head portion is brought into contact with a one-side surface of the first flange portion, thereby pressing an outer peripheral surface of the shaft inserted into the joint cylindrical portion without a large gap and fixing the yoke to the shaft. A length from the one-side surface to an opening edge of the screw hole is set more than 2.6 times as large as a nominal diameter of the bolt.

    摘要: An azimuth change quantity .theta. of a road during traveling of a vehicle for a time .delta.t is calculated based on road data provided by a navigation system and a vehicle speed provided by a vehicle speed sensor (at step S3 in FIG. 2). On the other hand, an azimuth change quantity .THETA. of the vehicle is calculated by integrating a yaw rate .gamma. obtained from a yaw rate sensor over the time .delta.t (at step S5). A deviation D between the azimuth change quantity .theta. of the road and the azimuth change quantity .THETA. of the vehicle is calculated (at step S6). When the deviation D becomes equal to or larger than a reference value .beta., it is determined that there is a possibility that the vehicle will depart from the road (at step S9), and a predetermined steering torque is applied to a steering device, so that the deviation is converged into zero (at steps S10 and S11).

    摘要: When a subject vehicle is traveling on a main line which is a preferential road, the number of lanes of the main line and a lane on which the subject vehicle is traveling are detected (at steps S1 and S2). When there is a merging section with a subordinate line (at step S3), an information transmitted from another vehicle is received (at step S4). If another vehicle which will merge to the subject vehicle exists on the subordinate line (at step S5), an approach degree between the subject vehicle and the other vehicle at the merging section is determined based on the vehicle speed of the subject vehicle and the information of the other vehicle (at steps S6 and S7). If the approach degree is large, namely, there is a possibility that the subject vehicle may interfere with the other vehicle (at step S8), a vehicle traveling behind the subject vehicle is detected by a radar or the like (at step S9). If no vehicle exists behind the subject vehicle, and it is possible for the subject vehicle to change the lane (at step S10), the lane change is indicated to a driver (at step S11). If the lane change is impossible (at step S10), a warning is given to the driver (at step S12). Thus, it is possible for the subject vehicle to smoothly merge at the merging section of a road.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for editing an entire image, including closed areas surrounded by other closed areas, contained within a framed area is disclosed. Image data obtained through a prescan is first written into a bit map memory, in the form of first data, e.g., 5. A closed area containing a point designated by a user is then painted with data of 3, for example. The entire area outside the closed area is painted with third data of 1, for example, using a start point that is a point outside the area of the original. Further, the bit map memory is painted with fourth data, e.g., a function number N corresponding to the type of the preset image edit processing, with the designated point as a start point of the painting and the third data as a pattern delineating the area painted with the fourth data. Through the above steps of processing, the framed area is entirely painted with the number N. Then, the number N is set to the value corresponding to the type of image edit processing. The contents of the bit map memory are then read in synchronism with the reading of the image on the original by a regular scan. The read image data of the original is processed in a predetermined manner on the basis of the number N as read.

    摘要: An elastically coupled joint comprises a shaft for transmitting rotary motion, a housing in which the shaft is concentrically inserted, an elastic member provided between the shaft and the housing, and a stopper for preventing excessive displacement between the shaft and the housing. The housing is provided, at an end thereof with a yoke for supporting a spider of a universal joint. The elastic member is provided with a tubular outer ring and a cylindrical elastic body fixed on the inner side of the outer ring. The shaft is pressure fitted into the central portion of the elastic member. The stopper is composed of a pin member inserted in a penetrating hole formed in the housing, the elastic member and the shaft. The penetrating hole may be formed such that the stopper pin is received in the shaft with a press fit, with each end portion of the pin having a predetermined uniform circumferential gap to the housing and the outer ring.
