Kosuke Koba

Title: Kosuke Koba and Vehicle Steering Innovation.

Introduction

Kosuke Koba is an inventor based in Kariya, Japan, associated with Aisin Corporation. His patent work concerns vehicle steering control, particularly the actuation of a rear wheel.

Latest Patents

Koba is credited with 1 patent, titled “Vehicle Control Device.” The invention describes a device that uses an electric steering actuator to generate steering force for a rear wheel. A trapezoidal screw converts the actuator’s rotational motion into linear motion, while a target-angle setter and steering-angle detector help determine and monitor the wheel’s steering position.

The device also includes an energization controller. When the rear wheel is being steered away from its neutral position and its target angle differs from its current angle, the controller alternates between supplying current to the actuator and cutting off the current, while gradually increasing the current value.

Career Highlights

Koba’s listed invention addresses the control of an electric rear-wheel steering actuator and the conversion of its motion. His work is associated with Aisin Corporation, a company active in the automotive industry.

Collaborations

Koba’s listed coworkers include Akira Takahashi and Toshihisa Habiro. The available information identifies these professional associations but does not specify their roles in the patent.

Conclusion

Kosuke Koba’s patent reflects an engineering focus on controlled electric actuation for rear-wheel steering, combining mechanical motion conversion with regulated current delivery.
