A motion control system is applied to a vehicle, which has front wheel side suspensions with an anti-dive geometry and rear wheel side suspensions with an anti-lift geometry. A degree of an anti-lift effect of the anti-lift geometry is larger than a degree of an anti-dive effect of the anti-dive geometry. Normally, a controller controls a hydraulic unit such that a brake force distribution between front wheels and rear wheels during a braking-period is adjusted to a basic distribution. In contrast, in a state where abrupt application of brakes is started, the controller controls the hydraulic unit such that the brake force distribution is adjusted to a first distribution, at which a brake force respectively applied to the rear wheels is larger than that of the basic distribution only for a predetermined short time period upon starting of the application of the brakes.

An image displaying apparatus includes a signal control unit for receiving an input image signal and converting the signal into a signal for alternately displaying a right-eye image and a left-eye image, display panel into which the signal converted in the signal control unit is input for the right-eye image and the left-eye image, a surface light source for illuminating the display panel from its back, a shutter control unit for generating a timing signal indicating a period in which the right-eye and left-eye shutters are opened for a pair of viewing glasses with the right-eye and left-eye shutters, and for relatively changing the shutter-opened period for the emission timing of the surface light source, and a surface light source control unit for emitting the surface light source in a shorter period than the shutter-opened period in response to the switching between the right-eye image and the left-eye image.

A solar cell apparatus in which contamination of solar cells is suppressed and a power generation quantity of the solar cells is maintained for a long period of time, even if the solar cell apparatus is disposed outside. The apparatus is provided with: a light transmitting plastic material; a light transmitting back sheet; a plurality of bifacial solar cells that are electrically connected to each other by means of interconnectors; and a transparent filled resin that surrounds the solar cells. The light transmitting plastic material has a curved surface, and is capable of constituting a hermetically closed space by being fixed to a disposition region of a body having the solar cell apparatus disposed thereon. The light transmitting back sheet, the solar cells, and the transparent filled resin are disposed in the hermetically closed space.

In an angular velocity sensor, a beam portion couples a pair of vibrators with each other and couples each of the vibrators to a substrate to enable the pair of vibrators to be movable in a first direction and a second direction that are perpendicular to each other. The driving portion vibrates the pair of vibrators in opposite phases in the first direction. The detecting portion detects displacement of the pair of vibrators in the second direction as a change in capacitance. The detecting portion includes first and second detecting electrodes. The restricting portion restricts displacement of the pair of vibrators in the second direction based on the change in capacitance. The restricting portion includes first and second restricting electrodes, and an electrode interval between the restricting electrodes is twice a width of the detecting electrodes in the second direction.

A method for controlling a reversible polyphase rotating electrical machine, wherein at least one coil circuit is supplied through a bridge of switches, including the following steps: controlling (P1) the bridge to deliver to the coil circuit a periodic voltage with a phase shift (d) relative to an electromotive force induced in the coil circuit, such that an operating torque is generated, the phase shift having initially a first value (d0); controlling (P2) the bridge to deliver to the coil circuit a periodic voltage with the phase shift (d) producing a torque ranging between the operating torque and the opposite of the operating torque, the phase shift taking on a plurality of values upon the control; flipping (T2) the bridge in rectifying mode.

A primary groove, into which a primary vane is slidably fitted, and a primary rotor-side suction passage, which conducts refrigerant of a shaft-side suction passage of a shaft to a primary compression chamber, are formed at a primary rotor. The primary groove is shaped into a form that extends from an inner peripheral side toward an outer peripheral side and extends toward a rear side with respect to a rotational direction, and the primary rotor-side suction passage is shaped into a form that extends from the inner peripheral side toward the outer peripheral side and extends and tilts toward a front side with respect to the rotational direction. A fluid outlet of the primary rotor-side suction passage opens at a location that is immediately after the primary groove on the rear side of the primary groove with respect to the rotational direction.

A vehicle device is used for a vehicle and includes a data acquisition unit, a compensation unit, and an output unit. The data acquisition unit acquires data successively transmitted from outside a subject vehicle via communication. The compensation unit compensates a data loss resulting from unsuccessfully acquiring of data in the data acquisition unit by using data already acquired by the data acquisition unit and generates assistive data used for travel assistance of the subject vehicle. The compensation unit associates with the assistive data a compensation implementation value indicating an implementation of the compensation. The output unit outputs the assistive data associated with the compensation implementation value to a travel assistance device for performing the travel assistance when the compensation unit generates the assistive data by compensating the data loss. Accordingly, decrease of driver's reliability for travel assistance using data acquired through communication is restricted.

A plasma processing apparatus capable of, over a prolonged period of time, controlling a decrease in the value of a DC current flowing within an accommodating compartment. The plasma processing apparatus comprises an accommodating compartment adapted to accommodate a substrate and perform a plasma treatment thereon, a high-frequency power source adapted to supply high-frequency power to the inside of the accommodating compartment; a DC electrode adapted to apply a DC voltage to the inside of the accommodating compartment, a ground electrode provided within the accommodating compartment and used for the applied DC voltage, and an exhaust unit adapted to evacuate the inside of the accommodating compartment.
