    Abstract: A terminal includes an RF-DC conversion circuit outputting DC current by converting AC current received via wireless communication into DC current, a DC-DC converter connected to an output side of RF-DC conversion circuit to convert a voltage of DC current output from RF-DC conversion circuit to a predetermined voltage, and a controller controlling connection and disconnection between RF-DC conversion circuit and DC-DC converter. Controller acquires open circuit voltage Vin_oc on an output side of RF-DC conversion circuit, which is obtained when RF-DC conversion circuit and DC-DC converter are disconnected from each other, and target voltage ?Vin_oc (0<?<1) obtained by dividing open circuit voltage Vin_oc. When RF-DC conversion circuit and DC-DC converter are connected to each other, controller performs feedback control of DC-DC converter so that an input voltage Vin on a side where DC-DC converter is connected to RF-DC conversion circuit is equal to target voltage ?Vin_oc.

  • Publication number: 20180069435
    Abstract: A power transmission device includes an inverter, an oscillator, a foreign substance detector, and a power transmission control circuitry. The power transmission control circuitry causes the foreign substance detector to perform a series of multiple processes and determine whether a foreign substance is present before a transmission of first AC power starts, and then causes the inverter to start the transmission of the first AC power. After the transmission starts, a detection period in which foreign substance detecting is performed and a power transmission period in which transmission of the first AC power is performed are repeated. The series of multiple processes is divided and performed in the multiple repeated detecting periods. The foreign substance detector is caused to divide and perform the series of multiple processes using the detecting periods and determine whether a foreign substance is present.

The second predetermined value is less than a maximum value of the undulating voltage. The light emission controller supplies the undulating voltage to the first and second light-emitting element groups during a second period in which the magnitude of the undulating voltage is greater than the second predetermined value.
