  • Publication number: 20210059050
    Abstract: An insulation film has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other and has a first portion and a second portion extending in a direction opposite to each other from a central portion. The optical subassembly is connected to the flexible printed circuit board at the central portion with the stem opposed to the second surface. The flexible printed circuit board curves with the second surface at least the central portion facing outward. The printed circuit board intervenes between edges of the first portion and the second portion and is connected to the flexible printed circuit board. The first portion and the second portion of the flexible printed circuit board curves in a shape to avoid mutual contact and three-dimensionally intersect with each other, and the first portion and the second portion on the second surface are opposed to the printed circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20210014585
    Abstract: When separate service apparatuses that provide various communication services to users are connected by a wiring with communication functional units interposed, if there is a wiring abnormality, the location of the abnormality is easily identified. When a wiring connection is completed between separated service apparatuses X and Y that provide various communication services to user terminals 31 and 32 with communication functional units A1 and B2 interposed, a wiring management system 10A includes a transmission network management apparatus 14A that identifies a wiring abnormality. The transmission network management apparatus 14A associates endpoint names of the service apparatuses X and Y and of the functional units A1 and B2 with opposite endpoint names on the opposite sides, defines opposite endpoint IDs of the endpoints of the functional units A1 and B2 as expected values, and saves the end points in association with the opposite endpoint IDs in a DB 14b.

  • Publication number: 20210004007
    Abstract: A control device, a control method, and a control program of a propeller for ship that enable the ship to move accurately in parallel are provided. When a joystick is tilted in a predetermined direction, a system controller performs a second control to make a ship move in parallel in accordance with corrected control parameters while correcting control parameters of outboard motors for moving the ship in the predetermined direction, on condition that wave height at a current position of the ship is equal to or higher than a threshold value, determines whether the control parameters are appropriate from a moving state of the ship when the ship is moved in accordance with the control parameters, on the condition that the wave height is lower than the threshold value, and rewrites the control parameters so that the ship moves in parallel when the control parameters are not appropriate.

  • Patent number: 10886794
    Abstract: A power transmission apparatus oscillates alternating current power at a first frequency (f1) which is lower than a resonant frequency (fr) of the second resonator and at a second frequency (f2) which is higher than the resonant frequency (fr). The power transmission apparatus measures an inductance value Lin (f1) and an inductance value Lin (f2). The inductance value Lin (f1) is measured when the oscillation circuit oscillates alternating current power at the first frequency (f1), and the inductance value Lin (f2) is measured when the oscillation circuit oscillates alternating current power at the second frequency (f2). The power transmission apparatus calculates a coupling coefficient k by using an expression represented by k2=1?Lin(f2)/Lin(f1), to detect relative position of the second resonator to the first resonator on the basis of the coupling coefficient k.

  • Patent number: 10871775
    Abstract: A control device for a propelling system of a vessel that can support a safe sailing of the vessel while reducing the load, of a steersman by executing automatic sailing control on the vessel when the vessel enters or approaches a specific water area where the sailing is limited. When determining that a hull stays within the specific water area in a state where a revolution speed and a rotational direction of a propeller and a posture of an outboard engine are controlled based on a signal inputted from a controlling device, an ECU of the outboard engine switches the sailing of the hull to an automatic sailing where the revolution speed and rotational direction of the propeller and the posture of the outboard engine are controlled without the intervention of the controlling device.
