  • Publication number: 20150073614
    Abstract: An electrical equipment is supplied with electric power from one of an electric power supply system and a secondary battery. The electrical equipment includes a switch circuit and a module. The switching circuit switches a power supply source for supplying electric power to the electrical equipment between the electric power supply system and the secondary battery. The module includes a processor to execute a program to perform a controlling process including a process of controlling the switch circuit to selectively connect the electrical equipment to one of the electric power supply system and the secondary battery according to a control signal supplied from an external device.

  • Publication number: 20140183954
    Abstract: A power supply device is connected to an external power supply and supplies electric power to a load. The power supply device includes a battery terminal that is used to connect a secondary battery, a superposition unit that superposes second electric power output from the secondary battery on first electric power supplied from the external power supply, and that outputs resultant electric power to the load; a power consumption amount retrieve unit that retrieves a power consumption amount of the load; and a controller that controls an amount of the second electric power to be output from the secondary battery, based on the power consumption amount.

  • Patent number: 6163190
    Abstract: A hysteresis comparator circuit and a waveform generating circuit reduce a power consumption of a DC/DC converter so as to improve a power consumption efficiency when the DC/DC converter is operated with a relatively small load. The hysteresis comparator circuit is connected to a reference voltage source providing a reference voltage. A hysteresis comparator compares an input voltage with one of a first threshold voltage and a second threshold voltage. A hysteresis voltage generating circuit selectively generates one of the first and second threshold voltages by controlling a state of electric charge stored in each of the capacitors. An electric charge stored in the capacitors is provided from the reference voltage source.
