  • Publication number: 20190140499
    Abstract: A rotating electric machine has a drive control part and a motor having a stator and a rotor. The drive control part has an external disturbance voltage instruction generation part, a switching signal generation part, first and second drive circuits, a current acquisition part detecting an external disturbance current flowing in three phase winding in each of a first coil and a second coil of the stator, and a phase angle estimation part detecting a phase angle of the rotor of the motor based on the detected external disturbance current. The drive control part adjusts turn-on/turn-off timings of switching signals so as to reduce a timing difference between corresponding line external disturbance voltages in the three phase windings more than the time difference without performing the timing adjustment while maintaining a duty ratio of these line external disturbance voltages to that when the timing adjustment is not performed.

  • Patent number: 10219342
    Abstract: A light source device includes a semiconductor light source, a light source control section, an optical sensor, a sensor control section, and an intensity adjusting section. The light source control section controls a light quantity per field of light to be emitted from the semiconductor light source, by pulse width modulation. The optical sensor receives the light emitted from the semiconductor light source to acquire a quantity of the received light. The sensor control section controls the optical sensor to detect the light in an exposure period shorter than a minimum pulse width in the pulse width modulation, thereby acquiring the quantity of the received light which is acquired by the optical sensor. The intensity adjusting section adjusts emission intensity of the semiconductor light source on the basis of the quantity of the received light.

  • Patent number: 9970403
    Abstract: When a start condition is satisfied after the internal combustion engine has been stopped according to an automatic stop control, a control apparatus reversely rotates the engine to compress an air in an expansion stroke cylinder at that time point, and thereafter generates a first time combustion. The apparatus determines whether the start condition becomes satisfied based on a first start request owing to a driving operation by a driver of a vehicle on which the engine is mounted. When the start condition becomes satisfied based on the first start request, the control apparatus makes a maximum value of an engine generating torque by the first time combustion and/or a maximum torque of the engine generating torque by a second time combustion larger as compared to when the start condition becomes satisfied based on a second start request other than the first start request.
