  • Patent number: 11572930
    Abstract: An antivibration unit attachment structure according to the present aspect includes: a vibration absorption part having a first elastic member which is elastically deformable in a first direction and which is connected to a vibration generation part; and a second elastic member which supports the vibration absorption part and which is connected to a vibration reception part. The second elastic member includes a movable part that extends from the vibration absorption part to both sides in a second direction and that is supported by the vibration reception part. The second elastic member is elastically deformable in the first direction and has an elastic coefficient different from that of the first elastic member. The vibration reception part includes a regulation member that comes into contact with at least one of the vibration absorption part and the second elastic member and that limits displacement of the second elastic member to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 11518323
    Abstract: When an outlet is shut off, an ECU monitors whether a restoration condition for restoring the outlet is satisfied. When the restoration condition is not satisfied, the ECU shifts a process to return. When the restoration condition is satisfied, the ECU restores the outlet for which the restoration condition is satisfied. As the restoration condition, a condition that an external device connected to the outlet is removed with the outlet being shut off or a condition that the external device connected to the outlet is removed and then the external device is connected to the outlet with the outlet being shut off can be adopted.

  • Patent number: 10696179
    Abstract: An electrically powered vehicle includes a power supply device, a first outlet, a second outlet, and an electronic control unit. The first outlet configured to be connected to an external equipment that is not constituent equipment of the electrically powered vehicle. The second outlet is configured to be connected to an external equipment that is not constituent equipment of the electrically powered vehicle. While first power feed and second power feed are being executed simultaneously, in a case where first power feed electric power exceeds a first threshold or in a case where total electric power of the first power feed and the second power feed exceeds a second threshold, the electronic control unit is configured to temporarily stop the second power feed and continue the first power feed.

  • Patent number: 8117578
    Abstract: There is provided a check target extraction unit that receives logic circuit information describing a logic circuit, and extracts at least one set of a start point register and an end point register from registers in the logic circuit, the start point register outputting an exception signal to be supplied to the end point register via the propagation control circuit, and a static hazard detection unit that determines whether, for the at least one set extracted by the check target extraction unit, there are a plurality of paths through which propagation of an exception signal from a start point register to an end point register is possible when the propagation control circuit, in response to a control signal, inhibits propagation of the exception signal.

  • Patent number: 7461326
    Abstract: The information processing method of the present invention detects redundant circuits as described below by means of an information processor that is provided with: a storage unit for storing circuit operation information that uses hardware description language and a library for performing a logic synthesis of the circuit operation information and converting to a net list; and a display unit. The information processor hierarchically arranges statement by statement the circuit operation information that is stored in the storage unit, and then refers to the library, performs a logic synthesis of the circuit operation information that has been hierarchically arranged and converts to a net list. The information processor then detects redundant fault sites, which are sites that are logically redundant from the net list, and displays information showing the redundant circuits that contain the redundant fault sites on the display unit.
