A suck back valve is equipped with a displacement speed regulating device made up of an ER (Electro-rheological) fluid filled in a chamber and whose viscosity changes in correspondence with the size of an external electric field, a coil member which generates the external electric field in response to an applied voltage, and a constriction which regulates a flow amount of the ER fluid between an upper-side chamber and a lower-side chamber of the chamber.

A vehicle control system which can ensure high reliability, real-time processing, and expandability with a simplified ECU configuration and a low cost by backing up an error through coordination in the entire system without increasing a degree of redundancy of individual controllers beyond the least necessary level. The vehicle control system comprises a sensor controller for taking in sensor signals indicating a status variable of a vehicle and an operation amount applied from a driver, a command controller for generating a control target value based on the sensor signals taken in by the sensor controller, and an actuator controller for receiving the control target value from the command controller and operating an actuator to control the vehicle, those three controller being interconnected via a network. The actuator controller includes a control target value generating unit for generating a control target value based on the sensor signals taken in by the sensor controller and received by the actuator controller via the network when the control target value generated by the command controller is abnormal, and controls the actuator in accordance with the control target value generated by the control target value generating unit.

There is provided an input/output device having of not exerting any adverse influence on other expansion devices connected to a system bus at the time of insertion or removal. An expansion device 800 comprises an electronic circuit 400 and a MOS switch 300, and is connected to a system bus (BUS) via a connector having long and short pins. The expansion device 800 two power supply systems, namely a stable power supply 250 and an unstable power supply 260. At the time of insertion or removal of the expansion device 800, power is provided to the MOS switch 300 and a high impedance maintaining circuit from the stable power supply via a pair of long pins, so as to reliably place the MOS switch 300 in a high impedance state, inside the expansion device the high impedance maintaining circuit 350 drives an open/close control terminal, and power is provided to the electronic circuit 400 from the unstable power supply 260. At the time of insertion or removal, adverse influence is not exerted on the signal transmission on the system bus, and effects of load variation on the main power supply are reduced.

The present invention concerns clock source switchover between dual clock sources in the event of failure of any of them without affecting the clock output in the dual system, thereby preventing malfunctioning of processors therein. In the fault tolerant computer system of the invention, each of the plural processing units comprises a clock source, a clock selector, a clock stop detection unit, a clock phase adjusting unit, and a phase coincidence detection/operation suppression/resetting unit, whereby when switching over from a faulty clock source to a normal clock source in the event of clock failure, the clock phase adjusting unit ensures continuity in the output clock signals. The clock phase adjusting unit provided in the subsequent stage of the clock selector inserts the PLL circuit having an overdamping response characteristic obtained by lowering the gain of its loop filter.

When executing successive processing of conventional software, a parallel processing apparatus turns a processing state discrimination flag off, increases a program count by 1 at a time, reads out one instruction, and processes that instruction in an arithmetic unit. When executing parallel processing for new software, the parallel processing apparatus turns the processing state discrimination on, increases the program count by m at a time, reads out m instructions, and exercises parallel processing over m instructions in m arithmetic units. In order to select either of the above described two kinds of processing, a discrimination changeover instruction having function of changing over the processing state discrimination flag is added. Instructions are processed in arithmetic unit(s) in accordance with the processing state discrimination flag. In this way, successive processing and parallel processing are provided with compatibility and are selectively executed. Further, the parallel processing apparatus making great account of compatibility of a great part of software reads out m instructions without using the processing state flag, decodes the m instructions, checks whether a branch instruction exists in the k-th instruction, then executes the first to the (k+1)-th instructions in k+1 arithmetic units, and prevent execution of the (k+ 2)-th to m-th instructions. By executing the k-th branch instruction, the parallel processing apparatus calculates an address nm+h of its branch destination, performs calculation to check whether the condition is satisfied or not, then prevents execution of instructions of addresses nm to nm+h-1, and executes instructions of addresses nm+h to (n+1)m. In this way, the parallel processing apparatus executes a plurality of instructions and successively executes branch instructions.

摘要:
In a vehicle control system in which a large number of ECUs operate in coordination via a network, each node has an intra-network node status determination section, other node's status decision transmitting/other nodes' status decision receiving section, and failed-node identification section. The nodes exchange decisions made by the intra-network node status evaluation section with other nodes and thereby identify failed node.
摘要:
The system includes optical bus-bridging devices for observing the modes of said electric buses and the modes of said optical fibers while said electric buses have not been driven (OFF mode), so that the modes of the two electric buses connected through optical fibers are brought into agreement and that the buses can be simultaneously driven by a plurality of nodes. While one or both of said electric buses have been driven (ON mode) by the nodes connected thereto, an optical output has been continuously produced from the buses that are being driven to said optical fibers, and while light has been inputted from said optical fibers, the modes of said buses are not observed, but an electric output is produced to the electric bus of the side to which light is inputted to drive the bus. The optical bus-bridging device changes the mode of the electric bus when the optical fiber does not change within a predetermined period of time after the optical bus-bridging device has outputted a signal to the optical fiber.
