Patent number: 11662397Abstract: A target value of magnetic flux density and magnetic flux density actually obtained are made to coincide precisely with each other. An electromagnet control device comprises a current value determining unit for determining, based on a magnetic flux density instruction value, a value of current that is made to flow through a coil. The current value determining unit is constructed to execute a second process for determining, based on a second function, a value of the current, if the magnetic flux density is to be decreased from that in a first magnetization state, and a fourth process for expanding or reducing the second function by use of a first scaling ratio for transforming it to a fourth function, and determining, based on the fourth function obtained after above transformation, a value of the current, if the magnetic flux density is to be decreased from that in a third magnetization state.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2022Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: EBARA CORPORATIONInventors: Haruka Takeuchi, Tomonori Ohashi, Ichiju Sato

Patent number: 10264658Abstract: A lighting device which can produce various fade operations without significantly consuming memory capacity is provided. Duty ratios for a plurality of steps are recorded in a ROM of a slave ECU. The slave ECU sets an interval time for 1 step, reads out from a map brightness of a next step at each set interval time, and outputs a pulse with the read out duty ratio to a LED. A change duty ratio, a pre-change interval time and a post-change interval time are recorded in the ROM. The slave ECU sets the interval time for 1 step to the pre-change interval time before the duty ratio of the LED reaches to the change duty ratio, and changes the setting by setting the interval time for 1 step to the post-change interval time after the duty ratio of the LED has reached to the change duty ratio.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2018Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: YAZAKI CORPORATIONInventor: Tomonori Ohashi
