Patent number: 10511249Abstract: A motor driving device controls driving of an inverter device, detects current values in two phases, and compensates a value. The motor driving device detects current values in two phases, namely, a maximum phase current value and a minimum phase current value, within a single cycle of a PWM carrier frequency. The motor driving device compensates a value obtained by subtracting an absolute value of a difference between two absolute values, namely, the detected maximum phase current value and minimum phase current value, from the smaller value of the absolute values, as the offset current component.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2016Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Masahiro Seo, Toshiyuki Ajima, Shigehisa Aoyagi, Takafumi Hara, Masaki Kashima, Yawara Kato

Publication number: 20130169883Abstract: AV equipment enables individual initial setting for each user utilizing near field communication without requiring any cumbersome operation. A determiner determines whether or not identification information of a portable device obtained by a near field communicator is identical to registered identification information to detect the registered portable device, which is located close to the AV equipment. A setter reads initial setting detail corresponding to the portable device detected by the determiner from the memory, and sets the read initial setting detail to the AV equipment. In searching the portable device, an output power controller initially sets the output power to an initial value, and gradually increases the output power while the registered portable device is not detected.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2012Publication date: July 4, 2013Applicant: Panasonic CorporationInventor: Masahiro SEO
