Inventor: FURUICHI TAKASHI
IPC: B60G17/08

Abstract: In a control device for controlling a variable damper of a wheel suspension system, a first sensor (9, 10, 12) detecting a first dynamic state variable of a vehicle body, a damping force base value determining unit (61) determining a target damping force base value according to the first dynamic state variable of the vehicle body, a second sensor (14, 15) detecting a second dynamic state variable of the vehicle body different from the first dynamic state variable; a correction value determining unit (61) determining a damping force correction value according to the detected second dynamic state variable, and a target damping force determining unit (64) determining a target damping force by modifying the target damping force base value by using the damping force correction value. When the differential value of the lateral acceleration is relatively high (or the target damping force is high), a drive current to the variable damper is increased so that the resistance to the extension and retraction of the damper is increased, and this prevents the ride quality to be impaired when the vehicle is cornering. The same is true when the vehicle is undergoing a pitching movement. The target damping force may be obtained simply by subtracting the damping force correction value from the target damping force base value. Typically, the second state variable comprises a vertical acceleration of a wheel supported by the wheel suspension system.

Abstract: A plasma actuator system and method especially well adapted for use on airborne mobile platforms, such as aircraft, for directional and/or attitude control. The system includes at least one plasma actuator (10) having first and second electrodes (18,20) mounted on a surface (24) of an aircraft. The first and second electrodes (18,20) are arranged parallel to a boundary layer flow path over the surface (24). A third electrode (22) is mounted between the first and second electrodes (18,20) and laterally offset from the first and second electrodes (18,20). A high AC voltage signal is applied across the first and third electrodes (18,22), which induces a fluid flow between the energized electrodes that helps to delay separation of the boundary layer. Applying the AC voltage across the second and third electrodes (20,22) causes an induced fluid flow that creates the opposite effect of influencing the boundary layer flow to separate from the surface (24). A plurality of the actuators can be selectively placed at various locations on the aircraft, and selectively energized to provide directional control and/or attitude control over the aircraft.

Abstract: In a code amount estimating method, when encoding quantized values of coefficients of a larger-sized orthogonal transformation than an orthogonal transformation size assigned to a variable length encoding table, the quantized values are rearranged in a one-dimensional form, so as to obtain run-level sets. The number of groups is computed based on a proportion between an orthogonal transformation area corresponding to the orthogonal transformation size assigned to the variable length encoding table and an orthogonal transformation area for an encoding target. The Run-Level sets are classified into groups having the number of groups. Each Run is divided by the number of groups, and the obtained quotient is set as Run. A code length of each Run-Level set in each group is determined by referring to the variable length encoding table. The amount of generated code is estimated to be the total sum of the code lengths of all groups.
