Inventor: TOKUMOTO YOSHITOMO
IPC: B62D137/00
Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: An electric power steering apparatus for detecting the
rotational angles of a steering shaft (13), which connects the steering
wheel (15) of a vehicle and the steering mechanism, at different
positions in the axial direction of the steering shaft, calculating
torque applied to the steering shaft based on the difference between
the detected rotational angles, and driving and controlling a
steering force assisting motor (4) according to the direction and
magnitude of the calculated torque. The angular velocities of the
steering shaft at the respective detection positions are calculated
based on the rotational angles. Based on the relation between the
calculated angular velocities, a judgment is made as to whether the
torque was caused by an input from the steering wheel side or an
input from the steering mechanism side. Based on the result of the
judgment, the motor is driven and controlled.

Abstract: A method of obtaining a measure of flow from an electromagnetic flow meter is disclosed. A shaped excitation waveform is applied to the flow meter and an output is received from the meter. The sampled output data from the meter is then resolved into a non-flow waveform component and a flow waveform component to derive a measure of flow. Resolving the data into expected waveform components rather than correlating each frequency component of the sampled output data with a sine wave may allow readings to be obtained without processing each frequency component separately. Also, the method may allow more accurate removal of the non-flow component from the output signal, and may decrease the time delay before the initial reading and allow the use of a greater reading repetition rate.

Abstract: An information processor uses the past processing space to shorten the time spent for starting up programs, thereby increasing convenience for the user. A memory unit provides memory space that can be used as processing space. A control unit retains, in the memory space of the memory unit, the processing space of programs that have been executed in the past even after the programs have been shut down, and further, manages the priority of each program. When a program is to be started up, and if the processing space of that program has not been retained, and moreover, if a sufficient vacant region does not exist in the memory space, the control unit discards the processing space of the program having the lowest priority among programs that are not being executed to create a vacant region in the memory space and newly secures processing space in that vacant region. The control unit then reads the program to the processing space that has been newly secured.
