Patent number: 8502493Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2009Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masayoshi Suhama, Shogo Tanaka

Patent number: 7597290Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2006Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Fujitsu Ten LimitedInventors: Yuzuru Sugiura, Yukio Shimizu, Tetsuo Sano, Shogo Tanaka
