  • Patent number: 7486946
    Abstract: When a user wants to transfer display data of a personal computer to project it by a projector, the user firstly mounts a medium on the projector to depress a dedicated button of a remote controller. Then, since a variety of items of information including random numbers generated from the projector are stored on the medium, the user re-mounts the medium on the personal computer. In this state, when the user initiates a dedicated utility, environment setting for wireless communication based on the variety of items of information stored on the medium is performed and a connection request with the random numbers added thereto is transmitted to the projector. The projector received this connection request replies a permission notification on condition of coincidence in random numbers and the personal computer received this notification automatically starts to transfer the display data.

  • Patent number: 6626002
    Abstract: In a motor driving unit controlled by switching to/from PWM control from/to PAM control so that the maximum limit of motor speed can be increased and, at the same time, the unit can be operated at maximum efficiency during steady-state operation, the motor speed is controlled by maintaining the DC voltage command to the converter control circuit constant, but altering the conduction ratio command value to the inverter control circuit when the load to the motor is low, and by maintaining the conduction ratio command to the inverter control circuit constant, but altering the DC voltage command to the converter control circuit. There is a commutating phase control circuit that alters the commutating timing of the coil of the motor, and the motor is so controlled that the efficiency reaches the maximum limit during steady-state operation and the speed reaches the maximum limit during high-speed operation.
