Publication number: 20150377939Abstract: A voltage/current verifier computes, for each phase, a phase difference between phase voltage and phase current from the phase of phase voltage and the phase of phase current computed for each phase by a phase acquirer, and determines conformity if all of the computed phase differences are within a preset range. A current/current verifier computes phase differences between phase currents from the phase of phase current computed for each phase by the phase acquirer, and determines conformity if all of the computed phase differences are less than 180°. A reporting device reports that a current transformer is incorrectly placed on a power line unless both the voltage/current verifier and the current/current verifier do not determine conformity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 14, 2013Publication date: December 31, 2015Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Masahiro ISHIHARA, Satoshi ENDO, Yoshiaki KOIZUMI, Shinsaku KUSUBE, Masaki TAKATA, Yoshihiro TANIGUCHI

Patent number: 7381632Abstract: A first laser beam is emitted from a first laser oscillator in a pulsed manner at a high repetition frequency, and converged onto a substrate by a first intermediate optical system 2 so as to form a slit-like first beam spot. A second laser beam is emitted from a second laser beam oscillator in a pulsed manner to rise precedent to and fall subsequent to the first laser beam, and converged onto the substrate by a second intermediate optical system so as to form a second beam spot similar in configuration to the first beam spot and to contain the first beam spot. Crystallization of a semiconductor thin film on the substrate is carried out while the substrate or the first, second beam spots are moved. Thereby, the whole semiconductor thin film is formed into a crystal surface that has grown in one direction and free from ridges. Thus, the semiconductor thin film has an extremely flat surface, extremely few defects, large crystal grains and high throughput.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2005Date of Patent: June 3, 2008Assignee: Sharp Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tetsuya Inui, Junichiro Nakayama, Yoshihiro Taniguchi, Masanori Seki, Hiroshi Tsunasawa, Ikumi Kashiwagi
