Latest Patents

Nakajima’s listed patents address integrated vehicle control and suspension-steering coordination.

“Integrated Control System for Steering and Power Unit” describes a system that coordinates front-wheel steering, rear-wheel steering, and engine output adjustment. It detects accelerator operation and driver instructions or changes in driving conditions, then adjusts control characteristics for rear-wheel steering and engine output.

“Suspension-Steering Control Apparatus” describes a system that changes suspension characteristics, such as damping force or the vehicle body’s front-to-rear rolling rigidity ratio. It also controls rear-wheel steering according to a predetermined steering characteristic and corrects that characteristic in synchronization with suspension changes.
