  • Sensor and sensor system
    Patent number: 11928064
    Abstract: A hydrogen sensor includes a communication terminal, a plurality of identification terminals, and an ID setting section. The communication terminal is connected to a first communication bus or a second communication bus, and communicate with a vehicle ECU. Each of the plurality of identification terminals is set to either an open state (OPEN) in which the identification terminal is not connected to any potential or a grounded state (GND) in which the identification terminal is connected to a ground potential. The ID setting section sets an identifier in either a standard format or an extended format, according to a difference in the communication bus to which the communication terminal is connected.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 27, 2022
    Date of Patent: March 12, 2024
    Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Tomonari Hattori, Jin Nishio, Akihiro Suzuki, Takashi Kawaura, Sena Takekoshi
  • Fuel cell system
    Patent number: 11855319
    Abstract: When leakage of fuel gas is detected by detection signals or disruption of the detection signals is detected, a FCECU limits a supply amount of the fuel gas from a fuel gas supply device, and shuts off the supply of the fuel gas by the fuel gas supply device when determining, after limiting the supply amount of the fuel gas, that the leakage of the fuel gas or the disruption of the detection signals has occurred.
