  • Patent number: 11046200
    Abstract: An on-board control device relays data communication between a vehicle module and a vehicle ECU which generates a signal for commanding a driving mode of a vehicle. The on-board control device includes a first interface via which communication with the vehicle ECU is performed, and a second interface via which communication with the vehicle modules is performed. The first interface relies on specifications for communication with the vehicle ECU, and the second interface does not rely on the specifications for communication with the vehicle ECU.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160006346
    Abstract: A power supply apparatus includes: a power supply circuit; and a control section, the power supply circuit including a power factor improvement circuit that improves a power factor of alternating-current electrical energy by switching of a transistor; and a DC/DC conversion apparatus that converts by switching of a transistor at least one of a voltage and a current of the electrical energy whose power factor is improved by the power factor improvement circuit, the control section being configured to control switching timings of the power factor improvement circuit and the DC/DC conversion apparatus, wherein the number of the power supply circuit is N, and the control section controls the switching timings such that the switching timing of the power factor improvement circuit differs among the N power supply circuits, and that the switching timing of the DC/DC conversion apparatus differs among the N power supply circuits.
