  • Publication number: 20230230135
    Abstract: A parking charge device, which charges a parking fee of a target vehicle in a parking lot with automated valet parking service, is configured to: start a count operation for charging purpose when a start condition is satisfied, terminate the count operation when a termination condition is satisfied; calculate a parking fee corresponding to a count value obtained by the count operation; and calculate a temporary parking fee based on the count value at a detection time of an exit request of the target vehicle. When the count operation is terminated within a preset duration, the temporary parking fee is adopted as the parking fee corresponding to the count value.

  • Publication number: 20230182719
    Abstract: A parking assist device performs parking assist. A vehicle receives assist from the parking assist device. A type determination unit determines a type of received data, which represents data received from the parking assist device or the vehicle. A replacement transmission unit replaces the received data with at least one transmission data, which is prepared in advance, according to the type of the received data and transmits the transmission data to the receiver device, when the type of the received data is a first type. A transfer unit transfers the received data as the transmission data to the receiver device when the type of the received data is a preset second type.

  • Patent number: 10581339
    Abstract: A power conversion system at least includes a filter capacitor, a DC-DC converter, a smoothing capacitor, a housing and a refrigerant flow channel. The refrigerant flow channel is disposed between the housing and a flow channel cover. The refrigerant flow channel includes a converter facing portion at least partially facing the DC-DC converter. The filter capacitor at least partially overlaps with the DC-DC converter when viewed in a first direction from an opposite side of the refrigerant flow channel to the converter facing portion. The smoothing capacitor does not overlap with the DC-DC converter when viewed in the first direction and partially overlaps with the DC-DC converter when viewed in a second direction. At least two fastening sections fasten the flow channel cover to the housing and do not overlap with the smoothing capacitor when viewed in the first direction.
