  • Patent number: 12132359
    Abstract: An electric actuator includes a motor, an output shaft, a detent plate, an elastic portion including a contacted portion, a first rotation sensor, a second rotation sensor, and a controller. In a case where an abnormality has occurred in the second rotation sensor, the controller executes causing the motor to rotate to cause the contacted portion to abut a first side wall portion located on one end side in the circumferential direction of a first valley portion in the detent plate, acquiring the first rotation angle when the contacted portion abuts on the first side wall portion, reversely rotating the motor to an angle, and determining that the contacted portion is stationary at the parking position.

  • Patent number: 11251721
    Abstract: A power supply device is provided with an output unit, an input unit, a rectifier circuit, a switching circuit, and a controller. The input unit inputs an AC input. The rectifier circuit has a smoothing capacitor and converts the AC input into a rectified output. The switching circuit switches between an ON-state in which input impedance is low and an OFF-state in which input impedance is higher than that in the ON-state. The controller sets a modulation ratio such that, when controlling the switching circuit to switch between the ON-state and the OFF-state, at least a portion of a period, in which the modulation width of the modulation duty ratio becomes maximum, is included in a period from a time when an input current inputted to the smoothing capacitor is generated to a time when the voltage of the smoothing capacitor reaches a maximum value.
