  • Patent number: 11068198
    Abstract: A data verification apparatus includes a storage, a management unit, and a verification unit. The storage includes a first storage and a second storage. The first storage stores first data and first status information. The second storage stores second data and second status information. The management unit controls a write process and updates the first status information and the second status information in response to the write process, the write process being a process of writing the first data to the first storage on a basis of data acquired by communication with an external apparatus, and thereafter writing the second data to the second storage on a basis of the data. The verification unit verifies, in a state in which the communication is disconnected, the first data and the second data on a basis of the first status information and the second status information.

  • Patent number: 10882409
    Abstract: An onboard charging system includes an onboard battery, a vehicle-side coupling unit, a heat exchanger, a controller, and a charger. The onboard battery that is configured to be mounted on a vehicle and used to drive the vehicle. The vehicle-side coupling unit that is configured to make a charging current path to an outside-vehicle power feeding apparatus by being coupled to an apparatus-side coupling unit of the outside-vehicle power feeding apparatus. The heat exchanger that is provided in the vehicle-side coupling unit and configured to perform heat exchange between the vehicle-side coupling unit and the apparatus-side coupling unit. The controller that is configured to perform ON/OFF control of a function of the heat exchange performed by the heat exchanger. The charger that is configured to charge the onboard battery by using the charging current path.

  • Patent number: 9792070
    Abstract: A memory having a plurality of storage blocks, and a memory control unit, are included, and each of the storage blocks is partitioned into a management data area and an actual data area. The management data area stores therein writing-in-progress management data indicating that writing of actual data has started, validity management data indicating that the writing of the actual data has been completed, and pre-erasure management data indicating that stored actual data have been brought into an erasable state. The memory control unit determines, based on a storage state of the management data, the storage block storing therein the latest data.

  • Patent number: 8179086
    Abstract: To properly resume charging when insertion and removal of a charging cable connector are repeated, a control apparatus includes a power control unit that turns on a charging mode signal when a signal state changes from a state with no change for a certain period of time to a changed state, to activate a charging control unit, and turns off the charging mode signal when detecting a charging completion signal turned on by the charging control unit and outputted from a signal generating unit included in the charging cable which connects an external power source to the vehicle; and the charging control unit turns on the charging completion signal when the charging has been completed, and thereafter turns off the charging completion signal when detecting that the charging mode signal has been turned off by the power control unit.
