Title: Motoya Yamamoto: Innovator in Window Control Systems
Introduction
Motoya Yamamoto is a prominent inventor based in Hamamatsu, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of window control systems, holding a total of 8 patents. His innovative designs focus on enhancing the functionality and safety of window mechanisms in vehicles.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a closing member control system. This system features a controller that reduces the output of the drive motor when a window glass reaches a speed shift position, which is situated between the fully open and fully closed positions during the closing operation. The controller increases the output of the drive motor based on a position signal, indicating that the closing member is in a preclosed position, located on the fully closed side of the speed shift position. This preclosed position is within a pinch-monitoring disabled zone, where the monitoring of pinching objects is disabled through the controller.
Another notable patent is a control apparatus for open/close members and a method for controlling these members. In this invention, the controller writes position information of the window glass into an EEPROM when the drive motor halts. It identifies the current position of the window glass based on this information at the start of power supply. The controller determines if the current position has been lost and, if so, shifts to a mode for relearning the origin position to match the window glass's position with the information stored in the EEPROM.
