Abstract: Provided is a damper control device that exerts appropriate damping force to improve ride quality in a vehicle even when the vehicle gets over a projection on a road surface, the damper control device including a correction unit that corrects the damping force of a damper based on information from which a temporal variation amount of a damper velocity of the damper can be grasped and level information from which a damping force characteristic level that is the magnitude of a damping force characteristic of the damper can be grasped. The damper control device can suppress occurrence of distortion in a characteristic of transmission damping force regardless of the magnitude of the damping force characteristic level, and does not cause a lack of the damping force by reducing the damping force more than necessary when the damping force characteristic level is small.

Abstract: An object is to provide a signal processing device capable of reducing a sudden change in the rate of change of an output signal at the time of switching between two signals. In the signal processing device, when a signal of a larger value is selected, a smoothing signal is generated based on the deviation between two signals such that the smoothing signal has a value larger than the values of the two signals between two points at which the smoothing signal intersects the two signals, or when a signal of a smaller value is selected, the smoothing signal is generated based on the deviation between two signals such that the smoothing signal has a value smaller than the values of the two signals between two points at which the smoothing signal intersects the two signals.

Abstract: A signal level detection device 1 and a signal level detection method according to a means for solving a problem of the present invention varies a cut-off frequency ωc, of a variable low-pass filter 3 which filters a signal level r. The cut-off frequency ωc is varied based on the signal level r or information referred to for estimating the signal level. The signal level detection device 1 and the signal level detection method therefore reduce a delay of a rise of the obtained signal level r from an actual signal level, and sufficiently remove noise superimposed on the signal level r even when the signal level r is extremely low. Accordingly, control performance improves regardless of a degree of the signal level r.
