Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100286868ELECTRIC POWER-ASSIST STEERING SYSTEM - An electric power-assist steering system that provides a steering assist control in accordance with the steering angle right after the idle stop to reduce an unpleasant steering feeling and is installed in a vehicle having an idle stop mechanism (engine controller) that automatically performs an idle stop operation in a predetermined condition. The electric power-assist steering system includes a torque sensor, a steering angle sensor for detecting a steering angle relative to a midpoint of a steering angle that is learned, an electric motor whose assist force is controlled based on the steering torque and the steering angle, and a resolver for detecting a rotational angle of the electric motor. A steering angle right after the idle stop is determined based on the steering angle detected by the steering angle sensor right before the idle stop and variation in the rotational angle detected by the resolver during the idle stop.11-11-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090325697GAME PROGRAM, GAME APPARATUS, AND GAME CONTROL METHOD - In the game program, playing teams in a competition game played by a CPU are determined by operation of a controller of the player through an playing team determining unit. An opening demonstration video of the competition game between the playing teams determined by the playing team determining unit is determined by the CPU, through an opening demonstration video determining unit. The opening demonstration video determined by the opening demonstration video determining unit is displayed or played back on a monitor by the CPU through an opening demonstration video display/playback unit prior to the start of a competition game. In this game program, after a virtual competition game is played by the CPU, a highlight scene in the virtual competition game that satisfies a predetermined highlight condition is determined from within the virtual competition game by a highlight scene determining unit.12-31-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110194291STROBE DEVICE - Each of electrode terminals is provided with an electrode connection section connected to an electrode of an electric discharge tube. When an exterior member is mounted on a housing, a concave section of the exterior member abuts on the electrode connection section of the electrode terminal, to displace the electrode connection section in a direction in which the electrode of the electric discharge tube is held therein. Thus, the exterior member is mounted on the housing so that connection between the electrode of the electric discharge tube and the electrode connection section can be completed. Therefore, connection work can be significantly easily performed without requiring soldering and press fitting.08-11-2011
