20090057073 | Disk brake apparatus - In a disk brake apparatus of the present invention, it is determined whether a centering operation should be performed, and operation conditions for the centering operation (the length of the interval and the number of the operations) are set, according to a change of deformation of a disk rotor by heat release over time. When the centering operation is performed, a solenoid is actuated to perform the centering operation according to the set operation conditions. The centering operation is an operation of moving a pair of brake pads ( | 03-05-2009 |
20090183958 | BRAKE APPARATUS - In the normal condition, a braking force is generated by directly supplying to a disk brake a fluid pressure generated in a master cylinder in response to an operation of a brake pedal. In addition, a braking force can be generated by supplying a fluid pressure to the disk brake by actuating a hydraulic pump motor by a controller. When a knock-back occurs due to, for example, rapid turning of a vehicle, a piston is allowed to be displaced backward so that uneven wear of a brake pad and a disk rotor can be prevented. After that, when a cause for the knock-back is eliminated, the piston is caused to move forward and a pad clearance is adjusted by actuating the pump motor by the controller so that deterioration of the responsiveness can be prevented. | 07-23-2009 |
20090256417 | Brake device - An object of the present invention is to provide a brake device in which brake feeling can be improved. In response to depression of a brake pedal | 10-15-2009 |
20100326072 | BOOSTER - An input rod and an input piston are advanced in response to an operation of a brake pedal, and an electric motor is driven according to the movement of the input piston to push a primary piston forward in a master cylinder through a ball-screw mechanism, thereby generating desired hydraulic pressures in a primary chamber and a secondary chamber and supplying the hydraulic pressure to the brake caliper of each wheel. At this time, a part of the hydraulic pressure in the primary chamber is received by the input piston to feed back to the brake pedal a part of the reaction force of hydraulic pressure during braking. A retainer of a spring assembly interposed between the primary and secondary pistons has a hollow structure to insert therein the forward end portion of the input piston, thereby allowing a reduction in the axial length of the primary piston. | 12-30-2010 |
20110031074 | ELECTRIC MOTOR-DRIVEN BRAKE APPARATUS - An input rod and an input piston are advanced in response to an operation of a brake pedal, and an electric motor is driven according to the movement of the input piston to propel a primary piston in a master cylinder through a ball-screw mechanism. Thus, a hydraulic pressure is generated and supplied to a brake caliper of each wheel. At this time, a part of the hydraulic pressure is received by the input piston, and a part of the reaction force of hydraulic pressure during braking is fed back to the brake pedal. A nut member of the ball-screw mechanism has a nut part with a ball groove and a rotor part thinner in wall thickness than the nut part. A rotor core of the electric motor is press-fitted to the rotor part, thereby making it difficult for stress produced in the rotor part by press fitting to be transmitted to the nut part, and maintaining the high dimensional accuracy of the ball groove on the nut part. | 02-10-2011 |
20110203268 | ELECTRIC BOOSTER - An object of the present invention is to provide an electric booster enabling an easy connection of an ECU and a stator. An ECU casing containing boards and (ECU) is attached to the outer surface of the casing body so as to be located near a stator of an electric motor. The opening of the casing body is closed by a rear cover. A flat-portion through-hole (through-hole) is formed through the casing body. Bus bars connecting the stator and the ECU are disposed through the flat-portion through-hole. The bus bars are disposed such that one ends thereof are coupled with the stator while the other ends thereof protrude from the flat-portion through-hole. When the electric booster is assembled, since the stator and the bus bars are disposed at the casing body having the flat-portion through-hole, it is possible to easily assemble the casing body and the rear cover with the bus bars inserted through the flat-portion through-hole. | 08-25-2011 |
20130263588 | ELECTRIC MOTOR-DRIVEN BOOSTER - In an electric motor-driven booster, a sharp change of reaction force to an operation of a brake pedal is reduced to improve the brake pedal operation feeling. Operation of the brake pedal causes an input rod ( | 10-10-2013 |

20090174910 | DIGITAL WATERMARK EMBEDDING APPARATUS AND DIGITAL WATERMARK DETECTING APPARATUS - A plurality of background texture patterns each of which includes a region not having a dot and having a feature different from those of the other background texture patterns, are combined, and information is embedded in a background region of a document image. Then, a mathematical-morphology-based conversion is performed on the document image, and thereby a feature of a region not having a dot in each of the background texture patterns is extracted in order to identify the embedded information. | 07-09-2009 |
20100042828 | DOCUMENT DATA ENCRYPTION METHOD AND DOCUMENT DATA ENCRYPTION SYSTEM - An encrypting device encrypts original document data by use of a password of an addressee, thereby generating encrypted document data. A decryption authority changing device, of which operating authority is held by the addressee, generates authority changing information M structured by encrypting the password of the addressee with a password of a proxy, and notifies a decrypting device of the information, of which the operating authority is held by the proxy. The decrypting device decrypts the password of the addressee by employing the password of the proxy, and decrypts the encrypted document data by use of the decrypted password of the addressee. | 02-18-2010 |
20100074443 | IMAGE ENCRYPTION AND IMAGE DECRYPTION APPARATUS AND METHOD - Input data is converted into an image, and in the input image, an encryption region that is a region in which the image is to be encrypted. Meanwhile, on the basis of an encryption key, encryption key-related information that is information related to the encryption key is generated, and the encryption key-related information is embedded into the image in the encryption region, to generate a first intermediate image. Next, the first intermediate image is converted on the basis of the encryption key, to generate a second intermediate image. Then, the pixel values of the second intermediate image are converted so that the position of the encryption region can be specified. As a result of the conversion, an encrypted image in which the part corresponding to the encryption region in the input image is generated. | 03-25-2010 |
