A system for directly measuring tire grip conditions is provided which can measure a skidding condition with no need of applying a vibration. A tire rotation speed sensor comprising a detection gear and a magnet sensor is mounted to a rotating shaft of a tire. An output of the tire rotation speed sensor is analyzed in time-frequency domain to detect vibrations caused by slips, thereby determining tire grip conditions, such as a slip ratio and a slip angle. By detecting fluctuations in rotation based on the cause-effect relation between the occurrence of tire slips and the occurrence of fluctuations in rotation, the tire slips can be directly detected. Therefore, the tire grip conditions can be confirmed with high accuracy.

A low-cost vehicle control system and a car using the system controls radiation of an actuator driver and thereby reduces the radiation component cost and allows downsizing of an electronic control unit to improve the versatility. The vehicle control system has an electronic control unit, a plurality of actuators and actuator drivers for driving the actuators at the actuator side. The actuator drivers, respectively, have a independent self-diagnosis section, a self-protection section, and a communication control section and are dispersed correspondingly to the actuators.

In a multi-cylinder engine having a compression ignition combustion mode, a vibration detecting sensor that is preferably mounted in a cylinder block or a cylinder head is used to detect a frequency and the detected frequency is appropriately analyzed to detect or estimate a cylinder pressure peak value and peak timing for each cylinder. An amount of internal EGR, a fuel injection condition, an engine speed and the like are then controlled so as to bring each of these parameters into an appropriate range thereof. The control apparatus suppresses variations in combustion states among different cylinders and different cycles arising from unit-to-unit variations or deterioration in the engine or part-to-part variations or deterioration in a component thereof.

An air flow meter which can decrease the error due to the backflow. Throttle valve 17 which opens and shuts the air intake passage is installed in the air intake passage of the internal combustion engine. The first sensor part 161 is installed in the air intake passage in the upstream of throttle valve 17. Further, the second sensor part 141 is installed in the air intake passage in the downstream of throttle valve 17. Pulsation compensating means 671 corrects the pulsation of the air flow rate signal detected by the first sensor part by using the output signals of the first and the second sensor parts 161, 141 based on each cylinder of the internal combustion engine.

In an A/D converter and a microcontroller including the same, the number of selection patterns of analog input channels is increased for each A/D conversion and the A/D conversion is conducted using an A/D converter having only fundamental functions without imposing load onto a CPU. The A/D converter or a DMA transfer device includes an A/D conversion table including one or more entries. Each entry includes enable bits for setting whether or not an A/D conversion is executed for the respective analog input channels and a plurality of count number bits for setting a number of executions of the A/D conversion.
摘要:
In order to reduce the consumption of power of an isolator interface and an ADC, it is proposed to operate a calling signal reception or Caller ID signal reception function only with power supplied from the system switch while maintaining the on-hook condition of a telephone. At the time of normal operation, the output of the analogue digital converter is input to an isolator through the isolator interface, and at the time of the calling signal reception or the caller identification information reception, the output of the analogue digital converter is input directly to the isolator.
摘要:
A computer system has a plurality of processing units (2-1,2-2,2-n) connected via one or more system buses (1-1,1-2). Each processing unit (2-1,2-2,2-n) has three or more processors (20-1,20-2,20-3) on a common support board (PL) and controlled by a common clock unit (1000). The three processors (20-1,20-2,20-3) perform the same operation and a fault in a processor (20-1,20-2, 20-3) is detected by comparison of the operations of the three processors (20-1,20-2,20-3). If one processor (20-1,20-2,20-3) fails, the operation can continue in the other two processors (20-1,20-2,20-3) of the processing unit (2-1,2-2,2-n), at least temporarily, before replacement of the entire processing unit (2-1,2-2, 2-n). Furthermore, the processing unit (2-1,2-2,2-n) may have a plurality of clocks (A,B) within the clock unit (1000), with a switching arrangement so that the processors (20-1,20-2,20-n) normally receive clock pulses from a main clock (A), but receive pulses from an auxiliary clock (B) if the main clock (A) fails. Switching between the main and auxiliary clock (A,B) involves comparison of the pulse duration from the clocks (A,B). Additionally, a plurality of cache memories (220,221) may be connected in common to the processors (20-1,20-2,20-3), so that failure of one cache memory (220,221) permits the processing unit (2-1,2-2,2-n) to continue to operate using the other cache memory (220,221). Coherence of the contents of the cache memories (220,221) may be achieved by direct comparison, and a comparison method can also be used to invalidate data in an internal cache memory (2020-1,2020-2,2020-3) of a processor (20-1,20-2,20-3) which differs from that in the external cache memory (220,221). Coherence of protocols may also ensure that data in caches (220,221) of the different processor units (2-1,2-2,2-n) are always correct.
