  • Patent number: 11949322
    Abstract: A power conversion device includes a first control device to an m-th control device that are capable of communicating with each other. A k-th control device transmits specific information to control devices other than the k-th control device among the first control device to the m-th control device. The specific information includes voltage values of a plurality of unit converters included in a k-th cell set in each of a first arm to a third arm. From each control device other than the k-th control device among the first control device to the m-th control device, the k-th control device receives specific information including the voltage values of the plurality of unit converters. The k-th control device calculates a phase representative value of the voltage values of the plurality of unit converters included in each of the first arm to the third arm.

  • Patent number: 8405302
    Abstract: A light emitting apparatus includes a transparent substrate made of glass material, for example, a first electrode layer formed on the substrate, a light emitting functional layer including organic material formed on the first electrode layer, a back surface electrode made of metallic material, for example, as a second electrode layer formed on the light emitting functional layer, and dot-shaped conductors arranged on the first electrode layer. The dot-shaped conductors made of low electric resistivity material are arranged at the first electrode layer. The combined resistance value of the transparent electrode and the plurality of dot-shaped conductors becomes lower than the resistance value of the transparent electrode alone. Therefore, voltage drop occurred at the transparent electrode can be effectively suppressed.
