  • Patent number: 11929676
    Abstract: A power conversion apparatus includes a converter circuit converting alternating current voltage output from an AC power supply into direct current voltage. The converter circuit includes unit converters. The power conversion apparatus generates a reference duty based on detection values of a current detector and a voltage detector, and generates a pulse width modulation signal based on a result of comparison between a carrier signal and a corrected duty obtained by correcting the reference duty. When a first reference duty in a first carrier period differs from a second reference duty in a second carrier period subsequent to the first carrier period, a first corrected duty of a first phase in a first carrier period in one power supply period after and a second corrected duty of a second phase in the first carrier period in one power supply period after are controlled to have different values.

  • Publication number: 20230303163
    Abstract: A driving control apparatus includes: a generating part that generates, with a predetermined control period, a vehicle model; and a calculating part that calculates, as an optimal steering angle, a steering angle that minimizes or maximizes an output value of an evaluation function including an estimated lateral deviation, an estimated azimuth deviation, a steering angle, and a change amount of the steering angle from the immediately preceding control period, calculated based on the vehicle model. The calculating part causes the coefficient of the term corresponding to the change amount after an initial period has passed from when the vehicle started to be smaller than the weighting coefficient of the term corresponding to the change amount up to when the predetermined initial period has passed from when the vehicle started.

  • Patent number: 11767848
    Abstract: The power conversion apparatus includes a converter circuit that converts an alternating-current voltage output from an alternating-current power supply into a direct-current voltage. The converter circuit includes unit converters. The power conversion apparatus includes current detectors that detect respective currents flowing through respective reactors. In first and second unit converters adjacent to each other among the unit converters, a phase difference between a first phase and a second phase is changed from a reference phase difference when a total current of currents detected by the respective current detectors is greater than a threshold. The first phase is a phase at a time when the switching element of the first unit converter is turned on. The second phase is a phase at a time when the switching element of the second unit converter is turned on.

  • Publication number: 20220345050
    Abstract: A power conversion apparatus includes a converter circuit converting AC voltage output from an AC power supply into DC voltage. The converter circuit includes unit converters. The power conversion apparatus includes a low current-oriented controller the unit converters to cause current corresponding to a single phase to flow through a current detector, and a high current-oriented controller controlling operation of the unit converters based on a result of comparison between a duty command and a carrier signal, where the duty command is generated based on detection values detected by the current detector and a voltage detector. When the detection value detected by the current detector is less than or equal to a first threshold, the low current-oriented controller is activated, and when the detection value detected by the current detector is greater than the first threshold, the high current-oriented controller is activated.

  • Patent number: 9958274
    Abstract: A method may include obtaining magnetic field information that corresponds to a location. The magnetic field information may be based on an output reading of a magnetometer of an electronic device. The method may further include obtaining orientation information that corresponds to a device orientation of the electronic device that corresponds to the magnetic field information. The orientation information may be based on an output reading of one or more inertial sensors and may indicate the device orientation. The method may further include adjusting the magnetic field information based on the orientation information to generate normalized magnetic field information that is normalized with respect to a map-coordinate system of a magnetic field map. The normalized magnetic field information and the magnetic field map may be used to determine that the electronic device is at the location at the time that the output reading of the magnetometer is obtained.
