摘要:
An electrically actuated booster performs displacement control such that the relative displacement relationship between an input member and an assist member is variable according to the absolute displacement of the input member. A target displacement that makes variable the relative displacement relationship between an input piston and a booster piston is set according to a detection signal from a potentiometer (86), and displacement control is performed so that the relative displacement between the two pistons becomes equal to the target displacement on the basis of a signal from a relative displacement sensor (100) that detects the relative displacement between the two pistons.

An electrically actuated brake booster capable of obtaining a desired boost ratio for a given input pressure when an electric actuator is activated as a boost source, so as to ensure a desired operability of a brake pedal. The electrically actuated brake booster comprises: an input piston 22 to which an input thrust is applied through an input rod 9 that moves in coordination with operation of a brake pedal 8; and a booster piston 21 to which a booster thrust is applied by an electric actuator 40 that uses an electric motor 41 as a drive source, such that the input piston 22 and the booster piston 21 are disposed to be movable relative to each other but are normally maintained in a neutral position of relative displacement by means of springs 34. While an amount of relative displacement between the pistons 21 and 22 is determined by the potentiometer 45, the electric motor 41 is controlled to adjust the amount of relative displacement to a predetermined value. At the same time, a reaction force acting on the input piston 22 resulting from a hydraulic brake pressure is offset by urging forces of the springs 34 to thereby obtain a desired level of boost ratio.

An image forming apparatus includes an image input device that reads an image to obtain image data and a printer engine that forms an image on a medium based on image data. A bus of a PCI Express standard is used to transfer data. Storage areas serving as end points of the standard and hardware resources that transmit data and receive image data to and from the storage areas are connected to an identical switch according to the PCI Express standard. Specifically, an input/output area, an image input device, and a printer engine are connected to one switch, and a storage area, a compressor, and a hard disk is connected to another switch.
摘要:
A data transferring system, in which processes to match settings between devices mutually communicating are simplified, software for the processes is also simplified, and the amount of data to be processed is reduced, is disclosed. In a data transferring system of the PCI Express standard, when settings between facing ports of a switch and an end point are changed, a setting change is transmitted to the port of the end point being one of the facing ports by a configuration request. The port of the end point transmits the setting change to the port of the switch by a message request and the port of the switch executes the setting change. The port of the switch sends a completion message signifying the setting change completion to the port of the end point by a message request. The port of the end point executes the setting change.
摘要:
A data transferring system based on the PCI Express standard in which power saving is realized is disclosed. In the data transferring system, a data transferring device transfers image data based on the PCI Express standard by synchronizing with a line synchronizing signal LSYNC. At this time, the data transferring device causes a period between packets (image data) to be transferred in one line cycle of the line synchronizing signal LSYNC to be shorter than a transition period “t1” which is required to transit from a link state L0 to a link state L0s and from the link state L0s to the link state L0. With this, the number of the transition periods “t1” is reduced and the period of the link state L0s is made long.
