  • Publication number: 20220304197
    Abstract: When a plurality of fans in a first controller (any of controllers) become activation start objects and a plurality of fans in a second controller (a controller in a predetermined relative positional relationship with the first controller) are positively rotating, the first controller sets a level of a rotational speed of the plurality of fans in the first controller to a first level and the second controller keeps a level of a rotational speed of the plurality of fans in the second controller at a second level that is equal or higher than the first level.

  • Publication number: 20220224507
    Abstract: In a case where signals branched from a single reference signal source are transmitted via a plurality of cables, a phase synchronization circuit can be used to stabilize a phase of a signal to be outputted from each cable. However, the phases of signal to be outputted from each cable is affected by combination of a length of each cable and an amount of delay caused by feedback control, so that phases of synchronization signals to be outputted from a plurality of transmission paths are not always the same as each other. In the present invention, since a frequency multiplier that multiplies a frequency of a signal outputted from each transmission path by an even number is provided for a phase synchronization circuit, the phases of the synchronization signals to be outputted from the transmission paths are aligned even when signals are branched from one reference signal.

  • Patent number: 11283455
    Abstract: A lock detection circuit is configured to include an integrating circuit that integrates a phase difference between a frequency-divided signal of a VCO and a reference signal during a constant period within a transient response period for an output signal from the VCO, and integrates a phase difference between the frequency-divided signal and the reference signal during a constant period within a convergence period for the output signal from the VCO; and a degree-of-convergence calculating circuit that calculates a degree at which the output signal from the VCO has converged, from a result of the integration of the phase difference obtained by the integrating circuit during the constant period within the transient response period and a result of the integration of the phase difference obtained by the integrating circuit during the constant period within the convergence period.

  • Publication number: 20220052699
    Abstract: A third signal having a phase intermediate between a first signal based on a reference signal and a second signal with a phase shifted by an element of a previous stage is generated, a signal obtained by shifting the phase of the third signal by a first phase shill amount is output as a second signal to an element of a subsequent stage, a phase difference between the third signal and a fourth signal obtained by shifting the phase of a first signal output from the element of the subsequent stage by the first phase shift amount is detected, and the first phase shift amount is controlled on the basis of the detected phase difference.
