  • Patent number: 9184312
    Abstract: A transmitting circuit is connected to a power line at current flow-in sides to solar battery strings, and a receiving circuit is connected to the power line at current flow-out sides to the solar battery strings. An attenuating circuit connected in series to a bypass diode is provided in a bypass circuit. The transmitting circuit transmits a periodic signal of a predetermined frequency to the power line. The receiving circuit receives via the solar battery strings a transmission signal transmitted from the transmitting circuit to the power line. A determining circuit determines that, when it is detected that an amplitude of a transmission signal received by the receiving circuit is attenuated by a predetermined value or more, direct-current power is conducted to the bypass circuit.

  • Patent number: 7978586
    Abstract: An optical pickup device includes a diffraction grating 12 for separating a light beam emitted from a semiconductor laser element into at least three light beams. The diffraction grating 12 is divided into three regions by a straight line extending in a direction parallel to a tangent line of a track of an optical information recording medium. A second region 12B is divided into a first sub-block 13 and a second sub-block 14 by a straight line extending in a direction parallel to a radius direction of the optical information recording medium. The first sub-block 13 has a phase difference of approximately 180 degrees from the second sub-block 14. The first region 12A has a phase difference of approximately 90 degrees from the first sub-block 13 and has a phase difference of approximately 180 degrees from the third region 12C.

  • Patent number: 7940631
    Abstract: An optical pickup device includes a diffraction grating 12 for separating an emitted light beam into at least three light beams. The diffraction grating 12 is divided into three regions by dividing lines D1 and D2 extending in a first direction parallel to a tangent line of a track of an optical information recording medium. A second region 12B is divided into four sub-blocks by a dividing line D3 extending in the first direction and a dividing line D4 extending in a second direction that crosses the first direction. The sub-blocks located diagonally opposite to each other have a same phase, and the sub-blocks located adjacent to each other have a phase difference of approximately 180 degrees. The first region 12A has a phase difference of approximately 90 degrees from each sub-block of the second region 12B, and the first region 12A has a phase difference of approximately 180 degrees from the third region 12C.
