Title: Satoshi Kamijo: Innovator in Vehicle Control Technology
Introduction
Satoshi Kamijo is a notable inventor based in Toyota, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of vehicle control technology, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and reliability of vehicle drive-force transmitting systems.
Latest Patents
One of Kamijo's latest patents is a control apparatus for a vehicle drive-force transmitting apparatus. This invention includes a dog clutch operated by an actuator to selectively connect and disconnect a drive-force transmitting path. The control apparatus determines whether the rotational speed difference of the dog clutch meets a specified threshold during the switching process. If the difference is too great, the apparatus prevents the engagement of the dog clutch, ensuring smoother operation.
Another significant patent is a control device for a vehicle that features a first power transmission path utilizing a belt-type continuously variable transmission and a second path using a reduction gear mechanism. This device includes a dog clutch in series with the reduction gear mechanism. When the dog clutch is in an engagement transition state, the device cancels this state if the output shaft's rotational speed change exceeds a predetermined value, thereby enhancing vehicle performance.
