Publication number: 20240171013Abstract: To provide a specific method that is feasible and effective for performing MCPT control with a relatively simple configuration. A power-receiving device for receiving electric power transmitted from a power-transmitting device, based on a wireless power transfer method is provided. The power-receiving device includes: a power-receiving antenna for receiving electromagnetic waves; a rectifier functionally connected to the power-receiving antenna for converting the electromagnetic waves into DC voltages; a controller functionally connected to the rectifier for adjusting a resistance on an output side of the rectifier; and a power storage device for storing an output of the controller. Voltage-current characteristics of the rectifier vary according to a distance between the power-transmitting device and the power-receiving device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2021Publication date: May 23, 2024Inventors: Naoto KODATE, Yuji TANABE

Publication number: 20240132147Abstract: A vehicle power supply system includes a power source control device that executes a process of switching a connection state of a driving circuit to the main power source and an auxiliary power source including; a process of switching the connection state so as to transition to a backup state as a voltage decrease of the main power source occurs, and a process of switching the connection state so as to transition to a normal state as the voltage decrease of the main power source is resolved. After a voltage decrease of the main power source occurs, a turning-side control device of a steering control unit sets an output-limited state for a turning-side motor. The output-limited state is canceled upon the power source control device completing switching of the connection state so as to transition.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicants: JTEKT CORPORATION, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Yuuta KAJISAWA, Yuji FUJITA, Yugo NAGASHIMA, Kazuma HASEGAWA, Takashi KOUDAI, Kaishi MONOBE, Kenichi ABE, Masaharu YAMASHITA, Shintaro TAKAYAMA, Kazuaki IIDA, Yasushi HORA, Yosuke YAMASHITA, Hiroki TOMIZAWA, Nobuyori NAKAJIMA, Hayaki TANABE, Toyohiro HAYASHI, Takeshi IWANA
