Patent number: 11929621Abstract: A power control apparatus for a distributed power supply interconnected with a power system includes: a conversion circuit that performs reverse conversion of converting power supplied from the distributed power supply from direct current to alternating current and outputting the converted power; and a control device that controls the conversion circuit. The control device changes a target value of received power at a power reception point of the power system on the basis of a predicted value of a power generation amount of the distributed power supply and a predicted value of power consumption of a demand facility, and controls an output of the conversion circuit such that the received power at the power reception point becomes a target value.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: GS YUASA INTERNATIONAL LTD.Inventors: Hiroaki Endo, Masao Yokoyama, Shinichi Hongo

Patent number: 11920685Abstract: A valve device includes a rotation shaft, a valve body, and a biasing portion. The valve body is configured to be rotationally displaceable about the rotation shaft between a closed position and an open position. The biasing portion biases the valve body so as to cause the valve body to approach the closed position. The valve body includes an upstream wall arranged in a position upstream of the rotation shaft in a flow direction of the fluid when the valve body is in the closed position. The valve body includes a rotation end, which is an end distal from the rotation shaft and moves downstream in the flow direction of the fluid in response to a displacement of the valve body from the closed position to the open position, and the rotation end is shaped to project upstream when the valve body is in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: FUTABA INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Takenori Nakayama, Hiroaki Yokoyama, Yuta Asano

Patent number: 11870907Abstract: When a user attempts to execute a procedure for transfer or the like from an app, user authentication is first required by a PIN code or the like. When the user authentication is successful, function limitation of an IC chip is released and a mode in which a function provided by the IC chip can be used is set. The app encrypts a procedure message describing procedure content with a private key using the function of the IC chip and creates an electronic signature. When the electronic signature and the procedure message are sent to an online service server, the server verifies the electronic signature using the corresponding electronic certificate. When the procedure message is sent from a valid user and it is confirmed as a result of the verification that the content is not altered, the server executes the procedure for transfer or the like in accordance with the content of the procedure message.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2019Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: JAPAN COMMUNICATIONS INC.Inventors: Naohisa Fukuda, Greg Deickman, Hiroaki Yokoyama, Yasushi Shibuya, Masataka Hayashi

Patent number: 11863681Abstract: When a user activates an app, user authentication by a PIN code or the like is first executed. When the user authentication is successful (that is, when it is confirmed that a party operating the app is a user), function limitation of the IC chip is released and a mode in which a function provided by the IC chip can be used is set. The app creates an electronic signature with a private key using the function of the IC chip. When the electronic signature and the user ID are sent to a server of an online service, the server verifies the electronic signature using the corresponding electronic certificate. When the user ID is confirmed to be a user ID sent from a valid user, the user is permitted to use the online service.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: JAPAN COMMUNICATIONS INC.Inventors: Naohisa Fukuda, Greg Deickman, Hiroaki Yokoyama, Yasushi Shibuya, Masataka Hayashi
