20110204839	MOTOR DRIVE APPARATUS AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - A motor drive apparatus has a plurality of motor drive parts and a control unit. The control unit performs first and second failure detection processing for the motor drive parts before starting to drive the motor. If the first motor drive part is determined to have failure by the first failure detection processing, a first power supply relay for the first motor drive part is turned off and the second failure detection processing for the first motor drive part is inhibited. If the second motor drive part is determined to have no failure by the first failure detection processing and then by the second failure detection processing, the motor is started to operate.	08-25-2011

20110074323	MULTI-PHASE ROTARY MACHINE CONTROL APPARATUS AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM USING THE SAME - A failure identification part identifies a switching element pair having off-failure, in which a FET of the switching element pair in a first inverter part is disabled to turn on. A failure-time control part controls other switching element pairs and of the first inverter part based on failure-time phase current command values calculated as a function of a rotation position and a q-axis current command value. The failure-time control part controls a second inverter part normally. A motor is persistently driven with the minimum reduction in motor torque, even when the FET fails.	03-31-2011
20110087456	ROTATION ANGLE DETECTION DEVICE AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM - Bridge circuits have half bridges formed of sensor elements, which vary respective impedances in accordance with a rotating magnetic field generated by a rotary object. A control unit acquires output signals produced from intermediate points of the half bridges, and calculates a rotation angle of the rotary object based on the output signals. The control unit determines that the output signal is abnormal, if a calculation value of the output signal calculated based on at least four output signals is outside a predetermined range. The control unit thus determines which one of the output signals has become abnormal due to failure or the like.	04-14-2011
20110290580	Motor drive apparatus and electric power steering system using the same - A motor drive apparatus includes a control circuit, which determines that a wire connecting a battery to a first power supply relay and a second power supply relay is broken, and not failure of the power supply relays, if power is not supplied to a motor from the power supply relays when the power supply relays are controlled to turn on. The location of failure can thus be specified accurately. It is only necessary in this case to replace the wire. The motor drive apparatus need not be disassembled or investigated in detail. Man-power for specifying the failure location can be reduced.	12-01-2011
20110303479	Steering control apparatus - A steering control apparatus acquires vibration torque, which is generated by vibration of a gear mechanism when a steering wheel is operated at a steering angle. By setting the acquired vibration torque as a torque difference, an EPS motor current command value is corrected based on the torque difference thereby to calculate a corrected EPS motor current command value. Rattling and vibration caused in the gear mechanism are suppressed from being transferred to the steering wheel through an input shaft so that a driver is released from uncomfortable feeling.	12-15-2011
20110313620	Steering control apparatus - A VGRS device checks whether assist control of an EPS device for assisting steering operation of a steering wheel is being stopped. If the assist control of the EPS device is being stopped, a speed increase ratio is determined so that the rotation angle of the output shaft is less than the rotation angle of the input shaft. A VGRS motor is controlled and driven based on a determined speed increase ratio. Thus, steering operation of the steering wheel can be controlled appropriately so that the steering operation of the steering wheel can be continued with relatively small torque. It is less likely that a driver will erroneously feel that the steering wheel is locked.	12-22-2011
20120035810	Steering control apparatus - In a steering control apparatus, a worm gear is configured to have a lead angle for a self-lock operation, by which a worm wheel is allowed to rotate by rotation of a worm but the worm is not allowed to rotate by rotation of the worm wheel. Thus, a lock mechanism need not be provided separately from a gear mechanism and the apparatus is reduced in entire size. A VGRS control part checks whether the worm gear has a self-lock failure, which disables the self-lock operation. If the worm gear has the self-lock failure, idling suppression processing is performed to suppress idling of a steering wheel. Thus, even when the self-lock failure arises, the steering wheel is suppressed from idling.	02-09-2012
20120055730	Steering control apparatus - A steering control apparatus has a variable gear ratio device and a power steering device. If abnormality arises in the VGRS device, an EPS motor is controlled based on a steering wheel angle and a speed increase ratio. Thus, vehicle wheels are controlled appropriately when abnormality arises in the VGRS device. Steered angle of the vehicle wheels relative to the steering wheel angle is not changed between before and after occurrence of abnormality in the VGRS device. As a result, movement of a vehicle does not deviate from the steering wheel angle and feeling of discomfort in steering a vehicle can be reduced.	03-08-2012
20120111658	VEHICULAR STEERING CONTROL APPARATUS - A vehicular steering control apparatus has a steering direction control device and a reaction force application device. The steering direction control device controls a steering angle of steered wheels by controlling a steering direction control motor based on a steering wheel angle. The reaction force application unit is provided more closer to a steering wheel than the steering direction control device is and has a differential reduction unit and a reaction force application motor. The differential reduction unit transfers rotation of an input shaft to an output shaft. The reaction force application motor drives the differential reduction unit. The steering wheel and the steered wheels are normally linked mechanically, so that no fail-safe device is needed.	05-10-2012

20080275623	Air-fuel ratio controller for an internal combustion engine and diagnosis apparatus for intake sensors - A computer calculates an estimated cylinder-intake-air amount based on outputs from an airflow meter and a throttle position sensor, and then calculates a reference cylinder-intake-air amount based on an air-fuel ratio in an exhaust gas and fuel injection amount. An error of the estimated cylinder-intake-air amount is calculated by comparing the reference cylinder-intake-air amount with an estimated cylinder-intake-air amount base value. The error is low-pass filtered. The estimated cylinder-intake-air amount base value is corrected to obtain the final estimated cylinder-intake-air amount.	11-06-2008
20090139213	ABNORMALITY DIAGNOSIS DEVICE OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A deviation amount of a downstream air-fuel ratio sensed with a downstream air-fuel ratio sensor, which senses an air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas downstream of a catalyst, from a target air-fuel ratio is integrated during a period in which the downstream air-fuel ratio continuously shows deviations from the target air-fuel ratio while main feedback control and sub feedback control are performed based on outputs of an upstream air-fuel ratio sensor and the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor respectively. The thus-calculated continuous deviation amount of the downstream air-fuel ratio (deterioration degree of exhaust gas purification rate) is compared with an abnormality determination value to determine existence/nonexistence of an abnormal state where the exhaust gas purification rate is deteriorated by an air-fuel ratio variation among cylinders (i.e., state where control center of main feedback control has shifted).	06-04-2009
20090314071	ABNORMALITY DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - An alcohol concentration sensor detecting alcohol concentration of fuel is provided in a fuel tank or a fuel passage. An alcohol concentration detected at a previous driving of an engine is stored in a backup RAM. When a current alcohol concentration is different from the previous alcohol concentration, a procedure of an abnormality diagnosis is prohibited or invalidated until all of the fuel remaining in the fuel passage is consumed.	12-24-2009
