摘要:
An apparatus controls automatic travel of a vehicle equipped with a motive power generator. In the apparatus, information indicating a road surface on which a vehicle is present currently is acquired. It is determined whether or not a command for shifting the vehicle from its stopped state to its traveling state is issued. When the command is issued, automatic shift of the vehicle is made from its stopped state to its traveling state by controlling drive of the motive power generator based on the acquired information. It is further determined whether or not, of a component of gravity applied to the vehicle, there is a force component applied in a direction opposite to a travel direction of the vehicle. When there is the force component, the operation applied to the motive power generator is continued even if the brake pedal is pressed by the driver.

An apparatus is provided for controlling acceleration of a vehicle to a target acceleration. In the apparatus, a target acceleration calculator calculates the target acceleration. A provisional acceleration setting unit sets a provisional target acceleration such that a change rate of the provisional target acceleration is limited to a target limitation value. The provisional target acceleration is used during a step during which the acceleration of the vehicle is changed to the target acceleration. A drive power calculator calculates a drive power to obtain the provisional target acceleration. In the provisional acceleration setting unit, an initial value of the provisional target acceleration depends on a running state of the vehicle.

An apparatus is provided to estimate a gradient of a road surface on which a vehicle travels. The apparatus comprises acquisition, estimation, and compensation members. The acquisition member acquires at least one of acceleration of the vehicle calculated on changes in a travel speed of the vehicle and acceleration sensed from a force applied to the vehicle. The estimation means estimates the gradient of the road surface based on the acquired acceleration. The compensation member compensates the acquired acceleration in terms of influence of noise superposed on the acceleration, depending on an operational condition of the vehicle. The compensated acceleration is used by the estimation. The compensation is carried out by cutting off the noise by a filter, for example.

A control apparatus is provided to control the stopping of a vehicle. The control apparatus comprises a speed detector that detects a speed of a vehicle, speed acquiring means, target setting means, and control means. The speed acquiring means acquires an actual speed of the vehicle from detected results of the speed detector. The target setting means sets a target acceleration of the vehicle depending on the actual speed when the vehicle is stopped automatically. The control means controls an actual acceleration of the vehicle at the target acceleration.

A display-integrated image forming apparatus is provided that requires no large disposition location and an extremely simple disposition operation and that is capable of acquiring sufficient advertising effects for pedestrians on sidewalks.The display-integrated image forming apparatus comprises an image forming device including a document reading portion and a printing portion and a displaying device including a first display screen viewable from the backside or the side of the image forming device. When a user selects arbitrary information from provision information displayed on the first display screen, the first display screen displays information related to printing such as a password. By operating the image forming device to input the password the user visually recognizing the information is able to print out information preliminarily correlated with the selected provision information.
摘要:
In one embodiment of the present invention, an image forming apparatus is provided with an original capturing portion, a print portion, an operation portion, a management portion that manages various provided information, and a control portion that controls the original capturing portion, the print portion, the operation portion, and the management portion. A display apparatus that has a display screen visible from a back face or a side face of the image forming apparatus is disposed on at least one side face of an image forming apparatus case, and the control portion displays various provided information managed by the management portion on the display screen.

A data processing apparatus is provided that includes an interface capable of mechanically restricting a memory card from being attached/detached in conjunction with instructions for the timing of attaching/detaching the memory card. The apparatus includes a memory card attaching portion, an operation instructing portion that gives instructions related to the memory card and accepts user operations, and a cover portion that covers the memory card attaching portion. The cover portion is in the opened state, a memory card can be attached/detached to/from the memory card attaching portion and the input operation can be performed from the operation instructing portion, and when a memory attachment detecting portion detects that the memory is attached and the cover portion is put into the closed state, the data processing portion executes a data process in accordance with the input operation.
摘要:
A first ignition cylinder that performs ignition first is set based on an engine stop position in automatic start. Existence/nonexistence of a misfire in the first ignition cylinder is determined based on whether a difference ΔNe between engine rotation speed at a predetermined crank angle in an interval from timing immediately before the ignition to timing immediately after the ignition of the first ignition cylinder (e.g., at TDC of first ignition cylinder) and engine rotation speed at a predetermined crank angle before ignition of a second ignition cylinder (e.g., at TDC of second ignition cylinder) is equal to or smaller than a predetermined misfire determination threshold value Nef. When misfire time number of the first ignition cylinder exceeds a predetermined value, fuel supply to the first ignition cylinder is prohibited and the automatic start is started from the second ignition cylinder.
