    摘要: A position input system for a vehicular navigation apparatus includes an input unit for inputting a desired destination and a present position, a memory unit for storing desired destination information and map information, and a display unit for outputting the desired destination information and map information in response to input information from the input unit. The map information is indicative of intersections and a geographical point located between intersections and possessing useful guidance information. A desired destination and present position are capable of being inputted by setting the useful guidance information between a road leading to and a road leading from the geographical point. This makes it possible to enter position simply and accurately. Positions are precise since they are selected from pre-stored information relating to geographical locations. Vehicle direction can also be inputted in accurate fashion where parking lot exits and intersections are concerned.

    摘要: A navigation apparatus, in which guidance information for travel to a desired destination is outputted upon inputting the desired destination, has an input unit for inputting a desired destination, a memory unit for storing guidance information and destination information, and a display unit for outputting the guidance information and input information from the input unit, characterized in that the destination information has region name data and information data related to regions, and information data relating to a region is obtained by inputting the region name from the input unit. When input of the name of a prefecture, city or town for which a destination has not been specified is selected, a course search routine is executed in which a prefecture name list, city name list and town name list are retreived in order by the entry of prefecture name, city name and town name, the storage addresses of an intersection list and landmark list are obtained and an intersection at the destination is set. Accordingly, even in case of ambiguity where a destination cannot be specified, a concrete destination, such as a representative intersection or a representative landmark, is called from the ambiguous destination so that navigation to this destination can be performed.

    摘要: Disclosed is a control apparatus for a four-wheel drive vehicle having a center differential mechanism which allows a difference in rotating speed between front and rear wheels so as to absorb a difference in turning radius developed between the front and rear wheels when the vehicle is cornering, and a center differential clutch for limiting differential action of the center differential mechanism. The control apparatus has front-wheel torque sensor provided on a front-wheel drive shaft. When a negative torque is sensed on the front-wheel side while the vehicle is traveling with a restraint placed upon the differential action of the center differential mechanism, the restraint is reduced or removed automatically. This prevents occurrence of a tight corner braking phenomenon and permits the function of the center differential mechanism to fully manifest itself. The vehicle is kept in a stable and safe traveling condition in which driving force is fully utilized.

    摘要: In a navigation apparatus for setting a route from a designated departure point to a destination and providing guidance along the route, there are provided, as map data used in route exploration, node data [FIG. 15(b)] comprising position information and information relating to the attributes thereof, intersection data [FIGS. 2-5(b), FIG. 15(b)] comprising information relating to intersections, and road data [FIGS. 2-5(a), FIG. 15(c)] comprising information related to roads. Information such as roads between intersections and intersections which are the starting and end points of roads are obtained from the intersection data and road data, and an optimum route is retrieved by comparing routes. The map data is put into the form of a layered structure, as shown in FIG. 1, a branch road network is developed in an upper-layer (2) connected to a trunk road network with respect to a higher-order layer (1) of the trunk road network, block division is performed, and exploration from a lower-order layer to intersections connected to a road network of the higher-order layer is successively repeated. The foregoing makes it possible to perform processing upon limiting the range of exploration, and to raise the speed of exploration processing. In addition, the work area needed for exploration can be reduced and storage data can be conserved.

    摘要: In a nest MZI modulator in which each arm includes a child MZI, the power consumption is reduced. The hybrid integrated-type nest MZI modulator of the embodiment 1a is configured so that, instead of placing a relative phase adjusting section in a parent MZI, a bias electrode Bias 90° in which an electric field is applied in the same direction to the polarization direction in both of the upper and lower arms is placed in each child MZI (see FIG. 4B). The bias electrode Bias 90° provided in each child MZI constitute the entirety of a relative phase adjusting section. The optical signals are subjected to a phase change after the output from the child MZI (see FIG. 1A), because such relative phase adjusting section can subject the optical signals of the upper and lower arms of the child MZI to a shift change in the same direction, respectively.

    摘要: A vehicle power-supply control device has a battery charger that converts an externally-supplied AC voltage into a DC voltage used to charge a vehicle high-voltage battery, a low-voltage power generator that converts the DC voltage output from the battery charger into a DC voltage used to drive a vehicle auxiliary machine, and a controller that controls the battery charger and the low-voltage power generator. The battery charger includes a power factor correction circuit that corrects a power factor of the AC voltage and a first DC/DC converter that generates a predetermined DC voltage based on an output of the power factor correction circuit. The low-voltage power generator includes a second DC/DC converter that steps down the DC voltage output from the battery charger and a synchronous rectifier that rectifies an output of the second DC/DC converter in synchronization with a switching operation of the second DC/DC converter.
