Abstract:
At time to start learning feed-forward control and under the status that servo-drive is not put in execution, a positioning error of repeatable runout is detected by means of a positioning error of repeatable runout operation section and on the basis of a value of the positioning error of repeatable runout, a drive pattern and drive interval of idling are determined by means of a feed-forward data operation section. The drive pattern is stored in a feed-forward data memory and is outputted as feed-forward data in synchronism with the rotation of a spindle during drive interval, thus performing idling of a fine-movement actuator. After the idling has ended, control initiation sequence is resumed to carry out learning of feed-forward control.

Apparatus, methods, and programs display a virtual escort vehicle that appears to be driving ahead of a user's vehicle on at least one of a windshield of the user's vehicle and a display disposed in front of a driving seat of the user's vehicle and display a driving instruction for the user's vehicle based on actual driving condition information and standard driving condition information for a predetermined reference point located ahead of the current position of the user's vehicle.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a door module including a detachable panel and configured to wire a door harness. The detachable panel is configured to fit into a recessed portion formed in a door inner panel of a vehicle, and the door harness includes a trunk wire harness portion and at least two branched wire harness portions connected to the trunk wire harness portion and extending along branching directions from a branching point. The detachable panel is integrally provided with at least two projections each having rectangular faces configured to hold the branching point of the door harness. These projections are arranged to define a gap which has substantially the same size as the diameter of the trunk wire harness portion, so that the gap can grip the trunk wire harness portion, when it is mounted, from both sides thereof near the branching point, while the rectangular faces extend along the branched wire harnesses and guide them in the branching directions.
Abstract:
A navigation system presents and updates information that allows the driver to determine an appropriate vehicle speed and a steering angle depending on a condition or a feature of a road. The navigation system includes storage means for storing map data, a display for displaying information, a vehicle speed sensor for detecting a vehicle speed, and a controller for determining the shape of a road section being approached by a vehicle, based on the map data and the vehicle speed, and controlling the display to display the shape of the road.
Abstract:
A door harness mounting device in a door inner panel of a vehicle, the door inner panel including an internal face facing the compartment of the vehicle, a mounting panel mountable on the internal face, an edge face facing the body panel of the vehicle and a weather strip extending on the edge face. The device includes a grommet including a bellows portion and an elastic device which at least includes an elastic portion and a panel-fixing portion, such that the door harness can fit into the grommet and be installed closer to the internal face than a weather strip. The panel-fixing portion is adapted to engage with the mounting panel, such that the elastic device can be mounted on the mounting panel, and the mounting panel is adapted to engage with the internal face, such that the elastic portion can expand or contract as a function of whether the door is opened or closed.

Abstract:
In order to provide a die structure for injection molding of a light alloy free from gas defects, and a method of molding a light alloy parts using the die, the die structure is used for converting a light alloy into a semi-molten state, wherein a solid phase and a liquid phase coexist, or a molten state at a temperature just above a melting point and injecting the molten metal into an interior cavity portion, and S1/S2 of a gate sectional area S1 with respect to a maximum sectional area S2 of the cavity of the mold which area is almost perpendicular to the flowing direction of the melt therein is set in a range of 0.06 to 0.5.
Abstract:
A light metal alloy material has excellent plastic workability. The method of producing the light metal alloy material comprises a light metal as a matrix, which is injection-molded at a solid phase proportion of not more than 20%. The injection molded material has a limiting upsetting rate of not more than 70% and excellent moldability. This injection molded material can be molded into a final molded article by means of single-step forging.
