20090292432 | CLUTCH CONNECTION CONTROL APPARATUS AND VEHICLE INCLUDING THE SAME - A pressure sensor detects the change in pressure within a cylinder in a clutch master cylinder in a case where a clutch shifts from a connected state to a disconnected state. The pressure within the cylinder is detected at a time point where a rate of the pressure increase is changed. The position of a rod in this case or the rotation angle of a motor in an actuator is detected as a touch point preparation position. The touch point preparation position is a stage preceding power generated by an engine being transmitted to the clutch. The actuator moves the rod at high speed until the position of the rod reaches the position corresponding to the touch point preparation position. | 11-26-2009 |
20100030436 | TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM AND VEHICLE - A transmission control system includes an ECU, a throttle actuator, a clutch actuator, and a shift actuator. The throttle actuator adjusts a throttle opening under control of the ECU, the clutch actuator adjusts a state of a clutch under control of the ECU, and the shift actuator changes a gear position of a transmission under control of the ECU. When the transmission is shifted down, a throttle opening is adjusted to a first value and the clutch is disconnected such that a rotational speed of an engine increases. Then, the gear position of the transmission is moved to a lower position by one stage with the clutch being disconnected. After that, the throttle opening is decreased to a second value, and connection of the clutch is started. The second value is set to a value larger than a minimum value. | 02-04-2010 |
20130245900 | TWO-WHEELED MOTOR VEHICLE AND CONTROL DEVICE THEREFOR - A two-wheeled motor vehicle includes a control device and is configured such that a radius of curvature of a cross-section of a tire mounted on one of the front wheel and the rear wheel is larger than a radius of curvature of a cross-section of a tire mounted on the other wheel. The control device includes a sensor arranged to detect a rotation speed of the one wheel, a sensor arranged to detect a rotation speed of the other wheel, and a turn determining section programmed to determine that the vehicle is turning based on a condition that a value corresponding to a bank angle of the vehicle is higher than a threshold. The value corresponding to the bank angle of the vehicle is a value indicating the relative amount of the rotation speed of the one wheel relative to the rotation speed of the other wheel. | 09-19-2013 |

20100073127 | DEVICE USE RESTRICTING SYSTEM - A device is provided with a reader/writer that wirelessly communicates with an RFID module in a con-contact manner that resides within a wireless communications area of the device, and an optical transmitter transmitting a signal receivable by the RFID module in an area in the vicinity of the device within the wireless communication area of the device, the signal receivable area being narrower than the wireless communication area. The device determines whether an ID of an RFID currently performing wireless-communication is stored in its storage as an authorized ID, or not. The optical transmitter initiates signal transmission on the condition of the determination that the corresponding ID is stored. Upon receipt of the signal from the optical transmitter by a photoreceptor, the RFID module wirelessly transmits an authentication request signal to the device. Having received the authentication request signal from the RFID module, the device authenticates the ID and authorizes the use of the device based on the establishment of the authentication. Thus, the use of the device by unspecified users can be excluded at a high ratio without impairing the convenience of users of the device. | 03-25-2010 |
20100079250 | Information-Processing Device and System For Restricting Use of the Device - Schedule information including a user-specific ID and user occupying time period authorized to the user is stored in a device in advance. In a state that inputting from an input section of a device is inhibited, when wireless communications are carried out between an RFID module carried by an individual user and the device, a user ID associated with the user occupying time period including the current clock-time is acquired from the schedule information. Then, the acquired user ID is compared with an ID received from the RFID module. If the two IDs match, then the inputting inhibition is released based on the conformation of the two IDs. | 04-01-2010 |
20100288837 | RFID TAG READING/PROCESSING APPARATUS - According to one embodiment, a RFID tag reading/processing apparatus includes a reading device which reads data of the RFID tag, and transmits a radio wave from the antenna to the front to rear side of the container of the moving object, while the opening/closing door is being closed, and a checkout device which checks out for the merchandise based on the RFID tag data read by the reading device. | 11-18-2010 |
