  • Publication number: 20190334370
    Abstract: In a storage-battery control system, an insulating communication unit couples a controller to a battery module constituting a storage battery unit that outputs a predetermined high voltage value. A power supply line is further provided for supplying electric power output from a controller DC/DC, i.e., a controller-side voltage converter for the controller, to the battery module, so that electric power is collectively supplied via the power supply line to a module CPU and a module-side insulating circuit both consuming electric power in the battery module. A secondary battery in the battery module supplies electric power to only a cell-voltage detector.

    Abstract: An optical recording/reproducing apparatus includes an optical recording medium in which a holograms are recorded depending on an incident angle of a reference beam. The reference beam is irradiated to holograms while changing the incident angle to generate a reproduction light beam, and an image patterns are detected by an image pattern detector. The continuously output reproduction image patterns are temporarily stored in an image recorder, and the maximum value of reproduction light intensity is detected to generate a trigger signal. Depending on the trigger signal, an optimal image pattern is extracted from continuous reproduction image patterns, and thus, two-dimensional data is decoded.
