  • Publication number: 20230252155
    Abstract: An electronic device monitoring apparatus includes: a control unit that periodically shifts from a sleep state to an active state and executes predetermined standby processing while an electronic device is not in use; a storage unit that stores specific data to be subjected to alteration verification processing for verifying whether there is any alteration. The control unit executes sub data verification processing, the sub data verification processing performing the alteration verification processing for at least one piece of sub data out of a plurality of pieces of sub data at every shift to the active state in a preset order, the plurality of pieces of sub data being obtained by subdividing the specific data.

  • Patent number: 10811870
    Abstract: An electric wire protection device includes a voltage adjusting unit that adjusts voltage of a power source side and supplies the resulting voltage to a load, and a controller that includes a calculation unit configured to compute temperature information of an electric wire connecting the power source and the load from a value of an electric current flowing through the voltage adjusting unit, and that is configured to make the voltage adjusting unit into a shutoff state of shutting off the power source and the load on the basis of the temperature information.

  • Patent number: 10707675
    Abstract: An electric-wire protection device includes a voltage adjustment unit that adjusts the voltage to a load, and a controller that includes a temperature calculation unit that calculates temperature information on an electric wire from a value of current, and makes the voltage adjustment unit into a shut-off state based on the temperature information. The temperature information is calculated from an amount of temperature changes based on the current value and a predetermined initial value. The controller shifts into a sleep state when a sleep condition is satisfied that includes a condition that the temperature information is lower than the initial value. The initial value when the controller returns from the sleep state is based on a convergence value of temperature in conducting energization on the electric wire at a maximum value of steady-state current.

  • Patent number: 10707676
    Abstract: An electric wire protection device includes a voltage adjuster that adjusts voltage on a power source side to be supplied to a load and a controller that includes a temperature calculation part which calculates temperature information of an electric wire based on a current value flowing through the voltage adjuster. The controller sets a first time constant as a time constant used to calculate the temperature information while the voltage adjuster is in the interrupted state, and sets a second time constant as a time constant used to calculate the temperature information while the voltage adjuster supplies power to the load. The first time constant is a value larger than the second time constant and equal to or larger than an actual time constant of the electric wire, and the second time constant is a value smaller than the actual time constant of the electric wire.

  • Patent number: 7619381
    Abstract: The present invention provides an open/close member control apparatus capable of blocking entry of a ruffian even if forced closing operation is cancelled during closing operation of an open/close member by the forced closing operation and suppressing damage on an object which is erroneously caught. In the open/close member control apparatus for switching closing operation of a window to opening operation in the case where pinch of a foreign matter is detected and the forced closing operation of the switch is not maintained and continuing the closing operation of the window in the case where pinch of a foreign matter is detected and the forced closing operation of the switch is maintained, in the case where pinch is detected and the forced closing operation of the switch is maintained, when the maintenance of the forced closing operation is cancelled during closing operation of the window, the window opening operation is performed so that an open amount of the window becomes smaller than that in normal times.
