  • Publication number: 20240332999
    Abstract: A wirelessly rechargeable power supply device includes a circuit board, a power storage device, two or more antennas configured to receive power, a housing that accommodates the circuit board, the power storage device, and the two or more antennas, and a charging circuit that is mounted on the circuit board and is configured to charge the power storage device with the power received by the two or more antennas. The two or more antennas include a first antenna and a second antenna. A direction in which a sensitivity of the first antenna is lowest and a direction in which a sensitivity of the second antenna is lowest are different from each other.

  • Publication number: 20240308326
    Abstract: A ball bearing on one rotary shaft, out of a first rotary shaft and a second rotary shaft, on which a rotation member corresponding to a larger value of a ratio out of values of ratios of a rotation speed of a first rotation member and a rotation speed of a second rotation member relative to a rotation speed of a third rotation member is arranged does not include an inner race. Thereby, a ball PCD can be reduced while securing durability of a ball bearing on the one rotary shaft, and dragging loss between balls of the ball bearing and the inner race can be reduced. Since the ball bearing integrally configured with the rotary shaft is arranged on the one rotary shaft, reducing dragging loss of the ball bearing relatively largely reduces motive power loss on the third rotary shaft due to dragging loss of the ball bearing.

  • Patent number: 12093097
    Abstract: A power transmitting device includes a power transmitting unit configured to perform power transmission to the power receiving device through contactless power supply, and a memory unit that stores appropriate power supply information, and processing circuitry that is configured to switch a power transmission mode of the power transmitting unit. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire power supply information in a surrounding environment at execution of the power transmission, determine whether the power supply information and the appropriate power supply information are different from each other, set the power transmission mode to a limit mode when determining that the power supply information and the appropriate power supply information are different from each other, and set the power transmission mode to a normal-output mode when determining that the power supply information and the appropriate power supply information are not different from each other.

  • Patent number: 8186627
    Abstract: In order to control an attitude of a movable object having a flexible member (50) through an attitude maneuver, first, based on vibration of the flexible member at the time of the attitude maneuver, for example, a sampling function including no frequency components equal to or higher than a particular frequency is obtained. With the use of the sampling function, a control target value is created as a previously-frequency-shaping-type feedforward control law. Based on the control target value, attitude control data is created. The attitude control data can be used for the attitude maneuver with respect to the movable object.
