  • Patent number: 8502493
    Abstract: When instructed to switch control modes between overmodulation PWM control and sinusoidal wave PWM control, control device corrects the amplitude of a voltage command signal based on a state of power conversion operation performed by an inverter, so as to suppress a change in an influence of dead time over a voltage applied to an alternating-current motor upon switching the control modes. The state of the power conversion operation performed by the inverter includes at least one of a present value of a carrier frequency in a control mode currently employed, an estimated value of the carrier frequency to be obtained when switching the control modes, the length of the dead time, a power factor of alternating-current power exchanged between the inverter and the alternating-current motor, and a driving state of the alternating-current motor.

  • Patent number: 7597290
    Abstract: A tilting apparatus is provided which can make a moving section perform a tilting operation with stability or in which a moving section can exercise its functionality as expected, and an electronic apparatus equipped with the tilting apparatus is provided. In a tilting apparatus, with first and second tilting operations, one side of a first panel holder is angularly displaced with respect to the other side from a reference position. This can prevent the first panel holder from making any extra operation other than the first and second tilting operations with respect to a device body. Unlike any existing technology, in the invention, even when the first and second tilting operations are put into action, a first chassis is not displaced against the device body unless it is desired, e.g., displaced along front, and juts from the device body, thereby favorably leading to the operation with stability.

  • Patent number: 7570255
    Abstract: A display device includes a display section and a video signal generating section. The display section displays n video pictures in n viewing directions on one and the same screen on a basis of a video signal where n indicates natural number. First particular number of pixels are arranged in a first direction in the display section. The video signal generating section arranges pixels of each of n video source signals at predetermined intervals in a first direction to generate the video signal. Each of the n video source signal indicates a video picture in which second particular number of pixels are arranged in the first direction. The second particular number is less than the first particular number.
