  • Patent number: 11742163
    Abstract: A welding detection device includes a first circuit including a detection element, a first circuit power supply, and a second circuit. The first circuit is connected to a first line connecting a power supply and a main relay and a second line connecting a load and the main relay. The first circuit power supply supplies DC power to the first circuit. The first circuit detects welding in the main relay based on whether or not a current from the first circuit power supply has flowed to the detection element through the main relay when the main relay is controlled to be in an open state from a closed state. The second circuit cuts off the first circuit only when the voltage difference is present between the first line and the second line while the main relay is controlled to be in an open state from a closed state.

  • Patent number: 11360008
    Abstract: In an FPGA, waveform data to be sent from the FPGA to a DAC is stored, and a logical circuit is configured from a detection circuit for extracting test force value and elongation value signal components from a signal input from an ADC, an offset subtractor, and a gain multiplier. The detection circuit extracts a resistance component proportional to the test force and displacement. In the detection circuit, an expression that includes a harmonic component of an odd multiple of the carrier frequency is used as a correlation function for extracting the resistance component. As a result, it is possible to obtain calculation results at a sampling frequency that is higher than the carrier frequency.
