  • Publication number: 20190210640
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes a first inverter connected to a first end of a winding of each phase of a motor, a second inverter connected to a second end of the winding of each phase, and first and second switching circuits. The power conversion device further includes a normal state operation mode in which power conversion is performed by using a first neutral point of the winding of each phase in the second inverter and the first inverter and an abnormal state operation mode in which the power conversion is performed by using a second neutral point of the winding of each phase in the first inverter and the second inverter. An operation mode of the power conversion is switched from the normal state operation mode to the abnormal state operation mode when at least one switch in the first inverter fails.

  • Patent number: 9857769
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, first and second obtaining units, an output unit, and a sender. The image forming unit forms an image on a recording medium. The first obtaining unit obtains, from each of plural measuring devices provided in different locations outside an air-conditioning control device, environment information indicating an environment around a corresponding measuring device. The second obtaining unit obtains position information indicating a position of a user. The output unit outputs air-conditioning control information based on the obtained environment information and the obtained position information for controlling a subject air-conditioning control device. The sender sends the output air-conditioning control information to a destination device.
