A capacitor system suitable for charging and discharging of a vehicle such as discharging due to starting of an engine, charging by an alternator, and recharging upon braking. The capacitor system can be a vehicle power source having several connected cells in which ion conductive materials are arranged between a pair of electrode structures with large surface area materials and an electric double layer is formed between the large surface area materials in the electrode structure and an electrolyte of the ion conductive materials. Charging and discharging are controlled for state of charge of the capacitor unit with several connected modules to be within a predetermined range. A minimum charge within the predetermined range is sufficient for the engine to start while a maximum charge within the predetermined range is within a rated voltage of the capacitor unit with several connected modules.

Capacitor system for a vehicle

A traction control device is provided in which the valve opening pressure of the pressure relief valve is reduced to lower the hydraulic pressure generated by the pump. In this traction control device for a rear-wheel drive vehicle, the proportioning valve is positioned directly in front of the traction valve set in the main brake line that supplies pressure to the wheel cylinders of the rear wheels.

Traction control device for rear-wheel drive vehicle

A vehicle anti-skid control device includes an inlet valve and an outlet valve which can each open and close, thereby selectively applying hydraulic brake pressure to a wheel of a vehicle, along brake lines connected thereto. An electronic control device applies electronic signals to selectively open and close the inlet and outlet valves. The waveform of the signals is configured to operate the inlet valve in such a way as to prevent sudden changes in the brake pressure.

Method and apparatus for anti-skid control

An antilock brake control device installed across two independent brake circuits in which brake lines connect the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders of wheel brakes of diagonal front and rear wheels, in which for each brake circuit, a first brake line 21 connects the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders 141, 144 of the front wheels, first selector valve 24 is installed in each the first brake line 21, second brake line 22 connects the wheel cylinders 142, 143 of the rear wheels and the first brake line 21, second selector valve 25 is installed in the second brake line, reflux channel 23 connects the first brake line and the second brake line, and a hydraulic pump 26 is installed in the reflux line.

Vehicle antilock brake control device

A vehicle brake device is provided which enables easier mounting of the proportioning valve(s), and easier assembly and better layout of the whole brake device. An auxiliary hydraulic pressure source and traction valve are positioned on the side face of a hydraulic pressure box (70), and dumping chambers (26), auxiliary reservoirs (31) and proportioning valve(s) (24) are positioned on the bottom of the hydraulic pressure box such that the axial centers are parallel, and the proportioning valve(s) (24) is (are) arranged below the axial center of the auxiliary hydraulic pressure source and below the traction valve (23), and positioned such that brake fluid therein flows from the bottom to the top.
