IPC: B60T8/00
Filed: 2005-08-11
Abstract: The estimating method for a road friction coefficient µ includes the steps of detecting a steering angle by a steering angle sensor; detecting a lateral acceleration by a lateral acceleration sensor; and calculating an approximate friction coefficient µ by referring to a road friction coefficient µ determination table where a plurality of regions each composed of steering angle and lateral acceleration are defined so as to respectively correspond to a plurality of road friction coefficients µi (i = 1 to n, n is an integer not less than 2) on the basis of a boundary line derived from lower limits of the lateral acceleration over various values of the steering angle, and by specifying one of said regions according to the steering angle detected by said steering angle sensor and the lateral acceleration detected by said lateral acceleration sensor to thereby specify one of said road friction coefficients µi as said approximate friction coefficient µ.

Abstract: A manual pull-cord start system of a combustion engine has a remote start assist device such as a choke (50) of a carburetor (34) or a compression relief valve that is automatically actuated upon the initial pull of a pull-cord of a recoil starter assembly (22). The assembly (22) has a releasable coupling which intermittently engages a recoil pulley (26) of the recoil starter assembly about which the cord (24) is wound. Upon the initial pull of the cord (24), a shuttle (58) of the coupling moves generally with the pulley (26), to move a linkage connected to actuate the external start assist device. Upon release of the cord (24), the shuttle (58) and the remote start assist device automatically return to their normal state during engine operation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to window frames constructed in the manner to be opening outwards by pivoting of the opening panel either around an axis situated along a vertical style of the frame (direct opening) or around an axis situated along the upper cross member of the frame (tilting). The system consists of a conventional control system of the opening comprising a set of control rods, pivots, a scissor stay and a hinge plate associated with the scissor stay. The control system permits the opening outwards by direct opening by blocking the opening of the scissor element through locks situated along the upper crossmember of the frame and thereby enables rotation of the opening panel around a vertical axis. In ventilation position, a scissor element fixedly connected in between frame mounting and support plates and locking stops controlled by a handle requiring no force to switch between any position adjustment, allow graded opening depending on the position of the handle.

Abstract: A decoding method is carried out in a receiver configured to accept format
information relating to sequences of input data, to use format information in the
decoding of each input sequence, and to issue an acknowledgement signal in the event
that an input sequence is successfully decoded. The method involves receiving a
format message which pertains to a new input sequence, searching a candidate set of
format indices for that index which best satisfies a criterion for matching to the format
message, and selecting that index which gives the best match. Before searching, the
receiver reads the acknowledgement signals that were issued in response to the
decoding or attempted decoding of recent input sequences. If the acknowledgement
signals satisfy an appropriate condition, the search is limited to fewer than all the
indices in the candidate set. The format information that corresponds to the selected
index is used in decoding the new input sequence.
