  • Patent number: 11964618
    Abstract: In an undercover structure according to the present invention, a first cover part that is a lowermost part of an undercover has a first rear end positioned ahead of a front wheel axle. Further, a curved part with a predetermined curvature is formed at the first rear end of the first cover part in a side view. This generates a strong negative pressure in a region ahead of the front wheel axle 21. Accordingly, the flow rate of air flowing to each wheelhouse 23 decreases (the flow rate of the airflow between a road and a vehicle generated along the bottom surface of the first cover part 15a of the undercover 15 increases). This causes an attraction force that attracts the vehicle to a road surface to act on a vehicle body of the vehicle, thereby making traveling stability more excellent.

  • Publication number: 20240106322
    Abstract: In a power conversion system, a control circuit has, as its operation modes: a first control mode in which control circuit controls a DC-DC converter at a first drive frequency; a second control mode in which control circuit controls DC-DC converter at a second drive frequency higher than first drive frequency; and a third control mode in which control circuit controls DC-DC converter at a third drive frequency higher than first drive frequency. Control circuit is configured to change operation mode from first control mode into second control mode when detector circuit detects a predetermined change in output voltage while control circuit is operating in first control mode. Control circuit controls DC-DC converter in third control mode in a process of changing, in response to detection of predetermined change, operation mode from first control mode into second control mode before starting to control DC-DC converter in second control mode.

  • Patent number: 11757783
    Abstract: When congestion occurs, the ENUM/DNS server can identify a priority packet without relaying on origin terminal information. An ENUM/DNS packet priority control system 100 includes a call control server 10 that, upon receiving a connection request from a terminal, determines whether or not the connection request is to be subjected to priority processing based on predetermined determination logic, and generates an ENUM/DNS packet that has a priority flag upon determining that the connection request is to be subjected to priority processing. The ENUM/DNS packet priority control system 100 also includes an ENUM/DNS server 20 that, upon receiving an ENUM/DNS packet that has the priority flag, determines that the packet is to be subjected to priority processing, and transmits, to the call control server 10, connection destination information that corresponds to the call destination terminal.
