20090150027	Electric power steering apparatus - An electric power steering apparatus is provided that has a controller by which no current flows in one phase among current paths of three phases for supplying electric power from a motor driving circuit to a three-phase brushless motor and currents that have an identical absolute value and that have different signs flow in the other two phases. Thus, the status at one energization angle on the driving current waveform of the three-phase brushless motor can be given continuously and relatively-high currents can simultaneously flow in opposite directions in the contacts inserted to the two phases. By flowing of such high current in the contacts, a secure conduction check can be performed and foreign matters on the surface of the contact can be fused or thermally destroyed.	06-11-2009
20110203869	ELECTRIC POWER STEERING APPARATUS - In an electric power steering apparatus including capacitor for smoothing out the voltage of battery and relay including a relay contact disposed at a place upstream of the capacitor, a path is provided for directly conducting a terminal voltage of the capacitor from a downstream side of the relay contact to a system power supply supply that generates a source voltage for a control system including controller and the like, so that the system power supply and the control system that is supplied therefrom with electric power for control purpose are utilized as a discharge circuit. Thus is obtained a simplified configuration of circuit responsible for discharging the capacitor.	08-25-2011
