ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE DEVICE
Electric parking brake devices are configured such that a parking lever is driven by an electric actuator. The electric actuator is provided with: an electric motor drivable in a forward/reverse direction and operationally controlled by a motor control unit according to rotational loads; a conversion mechanism capable of converting a rotational motion into a linear motion, moving the parking lever from a return position toward an operating position through forward rotation of the electric motor, and moving the parking lever from the operating position toward the return position through the reverse rotation of the electric motor; and a load applying mechanism (a stopper and a disc spring assembly) for applying a predetermined rotational load to the electric motor by driving a constituent member of the conversion mechanism after the parking lever is moved from the operating position to the return position through the reverse rotation of the electric motor.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE

Vehicle control device and vehicle control method
A vehicle control device includes an input unit configured to receive plural requests for a physical amount to be controlled in a vehicle; a judgment unit configured to judge whether or not a degree of priority of each of the received requests is high: a second mediation unit configured to, when there are plural requests whose degrees of priority are judged not to be high, mediate these plural requests to determine a control target value (Rm); a transfer unit configured to, when there is a request whose degree of priority is judged to be high, transfer this request as the control target value; and an output unit configured to output the control target value transferred from the transfer unit or determined by the second mediation unit to a VDC.

Driving support apparatus
A driving support apparatus supports driving of the vehicle. The driving support apparatus includes a brake pedal detection unit, a retraction speed calculation unit and a driving operation device setting unit. The brake pedal detection unit detects an operation amount of the brake pedal. The retraction speed calculation unit calculates a retraction speed of the brake pedal, based on the operation amount of the brake pedal detected by the brake pedal detection unit. The driving operation device setting unit sets a reaction force exerted by a driving operation device to a larger value as the retraction speed calculated by the retraction speed calculation unit becomes higher.
Aircraft landing gear
An aircraft landing gear comprising an axle (3) intended to receive a wheel (4) comprising a rim (6) mounted to rotate on the axle (3) by means of at least one rolling bearing (8). The rolling bearing (8) comprises an inner ring (11) mounted around the axle (3) and an outer ring (12) rotationally secured to the rim (6) of the wheel (4). The landing gear further comprising a measurement device (21) intended to perform measurements of at least one operating parameter of the landing gear. The measurement device (21) is incorporated in the rolling bearing (8) by being secured to one of the inner or outer rings of the rolling bearing (8).
Aircraft electric brake actuator assembly with line replaceable actuator brake
An aircraft electric brake actuator assembly includes an actuator housing, a motor housing, an actuator, an electric motor, and an actuator brake. The actuator housing is configured to be mounted on an aircraft landing gear. The motor housing is coupled to the actuator housing and is removable therefrom. The motor housing is also accessible when the actuator housing is mounted on an aircraft. The electric motor is disposed within the motor housing and is coupled to the actuator. The actuator brake is disposed within the motor housing and is removably coupled to the motor.
