  • Patent number: 12088175
    Abstract: An electric pump includes a motor including a rotor rotatable about an axis extending in an axial direction and a stator with a coil wire, a pump connected to the rotor, a circuit board on a first side in the axial direction of the motor, and a coil guide between the motor and the circuit board. The coil wire extends to the first side in the axial direction and is connected to the circuit board. The coil guide includes a first portion guiding the coil wire along the axial direction, and a second portion which faces the motor and in which the first portion is opened. The second portion is a surface inclined to the first side in the axial direction toward an opening of the first portion. A width of the second portion as viewed from the axial direction decreases toward the opening of the first portion.

  • Patent number: 12040729
    Abstract: A motor control device includes an inverter circuit to convert a DC power source voltage into a three-phase AC voltage and supply the three-phase AC voltage to the three-phase motor and a controller to generate three-phase PWM signals based on three-phase duty command values updated at a predetermined updating cycle and control the inverter circuit based on the three-phase PWM signals. The controller is configured or programmed to shift, when duty command values of at least two phases of the three-phase duty command values updated at a first update timing are the same, the duty command value of one phase of the duty command values of the two phases by a predetermined shift amount and shifts a duty command value of the one phase of the three-phase duty command values updated at a second update timing which is an update timing next to the first update timing by the shift amount in a direction opposite to a shift direction at the first update timing.

  • Patent number: 7290148
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an encryption and decryption communication semiconductor device comprising at least, a communication interface for performing a transfer of data according to a predetermined communication system, one or two or more encryption/decryption circuits which encrypt or decrypt input data in accordance with a predetermined algorithm, and a plurality of external interfaces for performing the input/output of data from and to external devices. The communication interface, the encryption/decryption circuits and the plurality of external interfaces are formed on one semiconductor chip. In the cryption and decryption communication semiconductor device, input data sent from any one of the plurality of external interfaces is encrypted or decrypted by at least one of the encryption/decryption circuits and is capable of being outputted to any different one of the plurality of external interfaces.

  • Patent number: 5821709
    Abstract: An inverting amplifier circuit generates a comparison voltage by comparing a smoothed voltage of a voltage across a semiconductor switching element and a setting voltage that is generated by device of a voltage setting volume. An operational amplifier generates a drive signal by comparing the above comparison voltage and a triangular voltage. Negative feedback is effected so that the setting voltage becomes equal to the smoothed voltage, which is inversely proportional to the rotation speed of a DC motor.
