Abstract

To provide a brake system for a saddled vehicle that suppresses the speed at which the vehicle transitions to a front-dropping posture, thereby enhancing the driver's sense of security. A brake system for a saddled vehicle includes a control device exerting automatic control over a brake fluid pressure of a brake according to various information, and a pitch angular velocity detector for detecting a pitch angular velocity of the vehicle according to an output of a pitch angular velocity detection unit. When the pitch angular velocity becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value while the control device is gradually increasing the brake fluid pressure of the front-wheel brake by the automatic control, the control device reduces a degree of increase in the brake fluid pressure or maintains the brake fluid pressure at that time point.

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to improve the ease with which a pattern drawn on a road surface can be viewed from around the pattern. A road surface drawing device 50 is mounted on a vehicle. When the travel direction of a vehicle 100 is changed by an operation performed by the driver of the vehicle 100, the road surface drawing device 50 draws a pattern P by means of light in an area, on a road surface 500, that includes the side toward which the travel direction is being changed with respect to the vehicle 100, the pattern P indicating the change in travel direction. The pattern P includes a plurality of band-shaped patterns P1 to P4 spaced apart from each other in vehicle width directions Di, Do. The plurality of band-shaped patterns P1 to P4 are such that the closer the band-shaped pattern is to the outside Do in the vehicle width direction, the longer the pattern is in vehicle longitudinal directions Fr, Rr and the more the front end of the pattern is positioned forwardly Fr.

Abstract

A multi-component structure includes a first component of a first material, an insert of a second material different than the first material, a retainer, and a second component. The first component includes a recess in which the insert is arranged. The retainer secures the insert in the recess by covering a portion of a top surface of the insert. To accomplish this, a) the retainer is joined to the first component by a solid-state weld or by solid-state additive manufacturing, or b) the base component and the retainer are of a one-piece construction and the retainer is of the first material. The second component is attached to the insert by a mechanical connection or by a resistance spot weld between the second component and the insert.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide an electric propulsion unit capable of switching between the forward and reverse movements of an electric moving body with a simple operation and in a seamless manner. [Solution] An electric propulsion unit 1 has an electric motor 8, a battery 9, a first operation unit 30, a second operation unit 31, and a control device 10. The first operation unit receives a change operation for changing the output torque T of the electric motor. The second operation unit receives a switching operation for switching the direction of the output torque of the electric motor and is configured so as to selectively take a first state and a second state and allow the switching operation independently of the first operation unit. The control device sets the target output torque of the electric motor to a positive value while the second operation unit is in the first state and sets the target output torque of the electric motor to a negative value while the second operation unit is in the second state. When the state of the second operation unit is switched while the first operation unit is in operation, the control device performs a drive control after performing a regenerative control.
