  • Publication number: 20240146118
    Abstract: A foreign matter detection device includes: a plurality of detection coils (43-1 to 43-n) between a transmission coil (12) of a power transmission device (2) and a reception coil (21) of a power reception device (3), through which power is transmitted in a contactless manner; a plurality of capacitors (44-1 to 44-n) forming, for each of the detection coils, a resonance circuit together with the detection coil; a power supply circuit (41) supplying AC power having a predetermined frequency to each detection coil; and a detection circuit (45) detecting a voltage output from each detection coil and detecting a foreign matter entering between the transmission coil (12) and the reception coil (21) according to the voltage detected. Then, each detection coil is arranged to overlap by a predetermined amount that allows electromagnetic coupling between adjacent two of the detection coils (43-1 to 43-n) to be ignored.

  • Publication number: 20240136102
    Abstract: A winding of a transmission coil included in a power transmission device of a contactless power feed apparatus and serving to transmit AC power to a power reception device contactlessly is formed of a wiring pattern provided on a substrate. The transmission coil is divided into partial coils arranged coaxially. Each of the partial coils is formed such that, among the partial coils, a number of turns of a winding included in a partial coil is larger as the partial coil is located more outwardly.

  • Publication number: 20240136860
    Abstract: A power reception device 3 includes: an estimation circuit 28 estimating a load resistance of an entire contactless power feed apparatus 1; and a reception-side communicator 27 transmitting an estimated value of the load resistance of the entire contactless power feed apparatus 1 to a power transmission device 2. The power transmission device 2 has a power supply circuit 11 supplying AC power to a transmission coil 12 supplying power to the power reception device 3. The power transmission device 2 further includes a control circuit 18 decreasing an input/output gain of a transmission-side DC-DC converter 31 included in the power supply circuit 11 by a predetermined amount when the estimated value of the load resistance is less than a predetermined allowed lower limit, and maintaining or increasing the input/output gain when the estimated value of the load resistance is equal to or greater than the predetermined allowed lower limit.

  • Patent number: 8601033
    Abstract: An information terminal which has a storage section which stores a guide and a specific character string, and a control section. The guide indicates a possibility that an acquisition act of a different electronic document associated with an electronic document displayed on a display section is permitted only if an authentication condition stipulated at the site having the different electronic document is met The control section searches the electronic document displayed on the display section for the specific character string, and counts character strings matching the specific character string when a condition check operation is performed through the operation section. The control section further controls the display section to display the guide if an acquired count is equal to or greater than a predetermined number.

  • Patent number: 7803801
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aminopyridine compound represented by the following general formula (I) or a salt thereof and an Syk inhibitor containing the compound or a salt thereof as an active ingredient. Here, X1, X2, X3, Z, Y1, Y2 represent a carbon atom or a nitrogen atom, R, R1, R5, R6 represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, etc., and R7 represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a nitro group, a cyano group, —CpH2(p-1)(Ra1)(Ra2)—O—Ra3, —C(?O)—Rd1, a 5- or 6-membered saturated heterocyclic group, an aromatic heterocyclic group, —N(Rh1)(Rh2), etc. The aminopyridine compound of the present invention has not only high Syk inhibitory activity but also properties to selectively inhibit Syk.

  • Patent number: 7715889
    Abstract: A portable electronic device includes a first chassis and a second chassis movably connected to one another, which can be opened away from one another and closed against one another, a magnetic recording device (a hard disk device) provided within the first chassis, and a wireless communication module (a non contact type IC module) provided within the second chassis. The portable electronic device can be operated in a mode #1 in which the operation of the non contact type IC module is permitted while the operation of the HDD section is prohibited, or in a mode #2 in which the operation of the non contact type IC module is prohibited while the operation of the HDD section is permitted. Since operation of the non contact type IC module is prohibited when the system is changed over from the mode #1 to the mode #2, accordingly the HDD section can perform reading or writing without experiencing any influence due to shock, magnetism, or electromagnetic waves.

  • Patent number: 7107182
    Abstract: A test support process and a test support program for producing a post-update test pattern when a program under test is updated. When a program under development is updated, a post-update operation description defining details of an operation of a function included in the program under development after the update is acquired. Next, a pre-update operation description having high commonality with the post-update operation description is selected from among pre-update operation descriptions defining details of operations of functions included in the program under development before the update. A pre-update test pattern for an operational test of the selected pre-update operation description is extracted from among pre-update test patterns prepared for operational tests of the program under development before the update. A post-update test pattern for an operational test of the post-update operation description is generated by inheriting at least a portion of the extracted pre-update test pattern.
