  • Patent number: 12088107
    Abstract: The power conversion system includes an inverter circuit. The inverter circuit performs a grid-connected operation and an independent operation. When performing the independent operation, the inverter circuit may output, via a terminal, AC power converted to a load disconnected from a power grid. When the inverter circuit performs the independent operation, a control unit controls, when operating in a first mode, the power conversion system in a first time range such that an AC voltage is applied to the terminal, and controls, when operating in a second mode, the power conversion system in a second time range different from the first time range. The second mode includes control of stopping an operation of having the AC voltage applied to the terminal.

  • Publication number: 20240290524
    Abstract: An electromagnetic absorber includes a base material formed of a polymer, and a powder dispersed in the base material. The powder is formed of an Fe—Cr—Co-based alloy having a two-phase separation structure including a first phase and a second phase. An Fe content and a Co content of the first phase are more than those of the second phase, and a Cr content of the second phase is more than that of the first phase. The two-phase separation structure is a modulated structure. Preferably, the first phase is elongated or flattened.

  • Patent number: 11990259
    Abstract: A rare earth-iron-nitrogen-based magnetic powder according to this invention contains, as main constituent components, a rare-earth element (R), iron (Fe), and nitrogen (N). Moreover, this magnetic powder has an average particle size of 1.0-10.0 ?m, and contains 22.0-30.0 mass % of a rare-earth element (R) and 2.5-4.0 mass % of nitrogen (N). Further, this magnetic powder includes: a core part having any one crystal structure among a Th2Zn17 type, a Th2Ni17 type, and a TbCu7 type; and a shell layer provided on the surface of the core part and having a thickness of 1-30 nm. The shell layer contains a rare-earth element (R) and iron (Fe) so that the R/Fe atomic ratio is 0.3-5.0, and further contains 0-10 at % (exclusive of 0) of nitrogen (N). Furthermore, this magnetic powder contains compound particles composed of a rare-earth element (R) and phosphorus (P).
