Patent number: 10240785Abstract: A solenoid valve driving apparatus includes switching means for ON/OFF-controlling application of a direct current voltage to a solenoid of a solenoid valve, and signal outputting means. A first period and a consecutive second period are set as a valve opening operation period of the solenoid valve. When the signal outputting means outputs the PWM signal to the switching means, a duty ratio of the output signal is set to be higher in the second period than in the first period so that a power supplied to the solenoid is larger in the second period than in the first period. As a result, a valve opening operation is performed in the solenoid valve reliably, and loud noise generation during the valve opening operation is suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2011Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Noritz CorporationInventors: Daisuke Konishi, Akira Ohta, Yoshihisa Kitano, Tomoya Nakano, Yoshifumi Atobe, Haruki Inoue, Yoshitaka Kimura, Ryo Ikeda, Tomoki Kishimoto, Yasuhide Ikeuchi, Tomoko Ikeuchi

Patent number: 7907009Abstract: Provided is a high frequency amplifier including two amplifying elements of different element sizes connected in parallel and switching the amplifying elements in accordance with a level of output power. In particular, the high frequency amplifier includes an output matching circuit for matching to characteristic impedance (50 ohms) both when the output power is high and low, and increasing impedance when the turned-off amplifying element is viewed from a connection node on an output side of the two amplifying elements. Consequently, characteristics such as high output power and high efficiency can be achieved and it is possible to prevent an amplified high frequency signal from passing around to a matching circuit on a turned-off amplifying element side.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2006Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Kazutomi Mori, Kazuhiro Iyomasa, Akira Ohta, Teruyuki Shimura, Masatoshi Nakayama
