  • Patent number: 10417551
    Abstract: An RFID unit includes an RFID unit A and an RFID unit B that are separable on a break line, where the RFID unit A includes an IC chip portion A that stores an UUID and an antenna portion A, and the RFID unit B includes an IC chip portion B that stores an UUID and an antenna portion B. Before the RFID unit is separated into the RFID unit A and RFID unit B, either the RFID unit A or RFID Unit B transmits a first signal including the UUID. After the separation, at least either the RFID unit A or RFID unit B transmits a second signal, different from the first signal, including the UUID.

  • Patent number: 10075097
    Abstract: To generate a PWM signal, as an on/off signal of a semiconductor switch that constitutes a power conversion main circuit, by comparing a modulation wave command based on an input voltage waveform command of the power conversion main circuit with a carrier wave having changes from a lower limit to an upper limit and from the upper limit to the lower limit for an integral number of times per one cycle of an AC power supply, where the carrier wave has characteristics such that one change time from the lower limit to the upper limit and then returning to the lower limit is constant, and a time ratio between a change time from the lower limit to the upper limit and a change time from the upper limit to the lower limit changes periodically.

  • Publication number: 20180131573
    Abstract: A management system configured to manage device information responds, if an acquisition request for device information is received from an information processing terminal, to the information processing terminal with information for displaying the device information and script information including a command to cause the information processing terminal to check whether access to a web server implemented on the device is permitted. The information processing terminal is configured to, if the access to the web server implemented on the device is not permitted due to execution of the command included in the script information, be restricted from accessing the web server implemented on the device.

  • Patent number: 9764647
    Abstract: The first power converter is connected with a circuit connected with an overhead line, and an intermediate link, and mutually converts power. The second power converter is connected with the intermediate link, and a circuit electrically connected with an induction motor, and mutually converts power. The auxiliary power-supply device receives power from the intermediate link, and supplies power to a load. The operation controller controls the operation/deactivation of the first power converter based on acceleration and speed of a vehicle, auxiliary source power, and a restriction value for regenerative power to the overhead line in such a way that the power to be supplied to the auxiliary power-supply device becomes equal to or larger than the auxiliary source power, and the regenerative power flowing to the overhead line 105 becomes equal to or smaller than the restriction value.

  • Publication number: 20150193600
    Abstract: By delegating an access right to a resource from a user having the access right to a client, the client can also access the resource. At this time, an upper limit is set for the number of accesses per predetermined period of time and per client, and when the upper limit is exceeded, access is restricted. For a client that desires a number of accesses exceeding the upper limit, raising the upper limit by a predetermined number of times is permitted in exchange for payment of an additional fee.
