  • Publication number: 20180302008
    Abstract: A polyphase electric motor control device stores a first threshold as a duty cycle at which noise caused by a high potential-side switching element starts to overlap a first measurement period, and a second threshold as a duty cycle at which time when a low potential-side switching element is switched from on to off is after an end of a second measurement period, makes a first judgment for comparing a maximum target duty cycle with the first threshold, and a second judgment for comparing a second greatest target duty cycle with the second threshold, measures a current in the first measurement period when the maximum target duty cycle is smaller than the first threshold, and measures a current in the second measurement period when the maximum target duty cycle is greater than the first threshold and the second greatest target duty cycle is smaller than the second threshold.

  • Patent number: 8964204
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus which is capable of solving a problem that printing cannot be performed due to a shortage of a storage area for image data after rendering of a secure print job, and reducing a wait time from authentication to start of printing. A first storage unit performs rendering on a received secure print job, and stores image data in a storage area. A first transition unit makes the secure print job transit to waiting-for-authentication state. A first suspending unit suspends rendering when a stored image data amount reaches a full capacity during rendering in the waiting-for-authentication state. A second transition unit makes the secure print job transit to a successfully-authenticated state. A second storage unit performs printing on the stored image data, erases the printed image data, starts rendering on a subsequent page, and stores image data obtained by converting the subsequent page.
