  • Patent number: 12160804
    Abstract: A vehicle broadcasts a lane change intent message indicating parameters of a maneuver to be performed by the vehicle operating as a main traffic participant vehicle, the maneuver requiring use of a road resource. Response messages are received from recipient vehicles indicating approval or disapproval of performance of the maneuver. Responsive to one of the recipient vehicles returning a response message indicating conflict with use of the road resource required for performance of the maneuver, a conflict resolution procedure is performed between the main traffic participant vehicle and the conflicted recipient vehicle, the conflict resolution procedure using a pre-agreed identical conflict resolution algorithm executed on each of the main traffic participant vehicle and the conflicted recipient vehicle to each make a same distributed decision whether to proceed with the maneuver.

  • Patent number: 12160106
    Abstract: A power supply system, a converter, and a circulating current suppression method of the converter. The power supply system includes at least two converters that are coupled between a direct current power supply and an alternating current grid. Each converter obtains target output reactive power when an output current of the converter starts to increase from an initial current, obtains a reactive power compensation parameter based on the three-phase output voltages. Further, each converter obtains compensated output reactive power of the converter based on the reactive power compensation parameter and adjusts actual output reactive power of the converter based on the target output reactive power and the compensated output reactive power, so that an absolute value of a difference between common-mode output voltages of any two of the at least two adjusted converters is less than a difference threshold.

  • Patent number: 12151579
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are described herein for a power-controlling device for use with EV chargers. One or more embodiments disclosed herein may include a stand-alone device which, when installed, may reduce the likelihood of the owner of the EV charger being hit with high utility demand charges. The device may include one or more supercapacitors (e.g., supercapacitor banks, which may be series/parallel combinations) which may aid in making stored energy available during periods of peak energy demand. The supercapacitors may charge during periods of normal (e.g., non-peak) energy demand, and may discharge stored energy during periods of peak energy demand, which may reduce the likelihood of peak charges being applied. This device may appeal to property owners concerned about installing EV chargers due to the possibility of being penalized by high energy costs, and may result in an increase in the number of charging stations available to the public.

  • Patent number: 12151658
    Abstract: A controller of an electric brake device includes first, second and third PKB operators. Upon receipt of an instruction to produce a parking brake active state while a parking brake is released, the first PKB operator exerts a braking force without depending on a brake pedal and determines if a desired braking force is exerted. After the determination by the first PKB operator, the second PKB operator makes a movable part ready to come into engagement with an engaged part and causes an electric motor to rotate in a direction in which the braking force is decreased, so that the movable part comes into engagement with the engaged part to prevent the rotation of the electric motor. Then, the third PKB operator produces the parking brake active state where no driving power is generated to the electric motor.

  • Patent number: 12155264
    Abstract: In the present uninterruptible power supply apparatus, in a switching period in which a bypass power feed mode is switched to an inverter power feed mode, a semiconductor switch is turned on, a first electromagnetic contactor is turned off, a second electromagnetic contactor is turned on and, in this state, an inverter is activated to start a lap power feed mode, and the semiconductor switch is turned off to end the lap power feed mode. Accordingly, the lap power feed mode can be completed in a short time to reduce an increase of a terminal-to-terminal voltage of a capacitor and thereby prevent the terminal-to-terminal voltage of the capacitor from exceeding an upper limit voltage.
