  • Patent number: 9802474
    Abstract: An electric vehicle capable of efficiently and reliably cooling a power converter disposed inside an exterior. The electric vehicle includes a frame extending in a longitudinal direction of the electric vehicle, a power converter being long in the longitudinal direction of the electric vehicle along the frame, and an exterior extending in the longitudinal direction to cover the frame and the power converter, the exterior defining a cooling air path between the power converter to allow cooling air to flow the cooling air path. The power converter includes a plurality of heat radiation fins extending in the longitudinal direction of the electric vehicle in the cooling air path, the heat radiation fins protruding toward an inner surface of the exterior. Some of the heat radiation fins are closer to the inner surface of the exterior than the other heat radiation fins.

  • Patent number: 8004433
    Abstract: A semiconductor integrated circuit (10D) for receiving a parallel data signal and a first clock signal and outputting a serial data signal and a second clock signal, wherein a first clock generation circuit (15) produces a third clock signal obtained by multiplying the first clock signal by X/Y. A second clock generation circuit (11) has a variable transmission characteristic, and produces a fourth clock signal obtained by multiplying the third clock signal by N. A parallel/serial conversion section (12) converts the parallel data signal, which has been converted by a scaler (16), to the serial data signal in synchronism with the fourth clock signal. A frequency divider (13) produces a fifth clock signal obtained by dividing a frequency of the fourth clock signal by N. A selector (14) selectively outputs, as the second clock signal, one of the third and fifth clock signals.

  • Publication number: 20050141534
    Abstract: Packet processing method and device. The device includes: a storage device for storing data; a transfer device for dividing the data into a plurality of data with a predetermined length and arranging the divided data at intervals in the storage device while securing a first blank area for attaching a protocol header to the divided data and a second blank area for attaching a protocol footer to the divided area; a read address control device for implementing access of data arranged at intervals in the storage device as continuous data; and a write address control device for storing the protocol header to be attached in the first blank area and the protocol footer to be attached in the second blank area when the packet conversion processing is performed on the divided data.
