    摘要: In an electric power steering device, an electric motor is drivingly connected to a steering shaft with a steering wheel for generating an assisting power to rotate the steering shaft. A memory has stored a control pattern which non-linearly varies an assisting power with variations in a steering effort. A microprocessor responsive to a vehicle speed detected by a speed sensor ascertains whether the detected vehicle speed is within a low speed range or within a high speed range. Ascertaining that the detected speed is within the low speed range, the microprocessor searches the memory for an assisting power corresponding to the steering effort detected by a torque sensor. Ascertaining that the detected vehicle speed is within the high speed range, on the other hand, the microprocessor calculates an assisting power based upon the detected steering effort and a constant. The microprocessor then outputs a control signal representing either of the searched and calculated assisting power to a signal modulator, which modulates the control signal based upon the vehicle speed from the speed sensor so that the assisting power generated by the electric motor is controlled to meet the modified signal from the signal modulator.

    摘要: In an electric power steering system, a d.c. motor is drivingly connected to a steering shaft with a steering for generating an assisting power to rotate the steering shaft. Independently of an alternator for charging a battery, a d.c. generator driven by a vehicle engine is dedicated for supplying an electric power to the d.c. motor. A control circuit is responsive to a signal representing a manual torque applied to the steering and reads out one of objective values from a memory. The control circuit is further responsive to a fed-back signal indicative of a load applied to the d.c. motor and controls electric current flowing across a field coil of the d.c. generator in such a manner that the difference between the read-out objective value and the fed-back signal becomes zero.

    摘要: A controller for a power steering apparatus in which operation fluid for generating assist torque is pumped by a motor-driven pump. The controller controls the flow rate of the operation fluid by changing the voltage supplied to the motor. The controller is provided with a section for generating a target value representing a target voltage to be supplied to the motor, a section for detecting the voltage actuary supplied to the motor, and a section for generating a voltage compensation value based on the detected voltage. The voltage compensation value is obtained by integrating a voltage difference between the target voltage and the detected voltage. The voltage compensation value is added to the target value to obtain a compensated target value. The motor is driven by a voltage corresponding to the compensated target value. In another type of controller, a voltage following rate indicating a target variation in voltage is increased to increase the voltage supplied to the motor only when the voltage difference increases. With this, responsiveness can be increased without causing overshoots.

In particluar, in the preferred embodiment the spaced parallel electrodes sandwich a porous dielectric film for collecting particles and a porous spacer which is disposed between the porous dielectric film and one of the electrodes. The pores of the porous spacer have a size which is considerably larger than that of the pores of the particle-collecting film.

    摘要: A system for measuring amounts of particulates exhausted from a vehicle internal combustion engine, such as a diesel engine, has a dilution tunnel into which exhaust gas is introduced and mixed with and diluted by clear air. One part of the diluted gas is introduced into a first sampling arrangement in which a first filter is provided for collecting particulates of dry soot and another part of the diluted gas is introduced into a second sampling arrangement in which a second filter is provided for collecting particulates of soluble organic fraction (SOF). The amounts of dry soot and SOF are calculated in a real time manner in accordance with the pressure drops across the filters on the basis of the time differential of the signals output from pressure transducers provided for each filter.
