Patent number: 8829710Abstract: A starter driving semiconductor switch apparatus energizes and de-energizes a starter according to a command from an outside. A series circuit to which semiconductor switches are connected in series is provided between a battery serving as a power supply and the starter. The starter is energized by bringing all the semiconductor switches into conduction. A voltage or a current at a predetermined point in the series circuit is monitored to make a self-diagnosis on whether the starter is allowed to start and whether there is a failure in the semiconductor switches according to a monitor output. The starter driving semiconductor switch apparatus is thus expected to have a longer useful life by energizing the starter not by using mechanical contacts but by using semiconductor switches.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2010Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yasuhiro Takahashi, Takaaki Tanaka, Toru Kubo, Toshiaki Hata, Hideki Umemoto

Patent number: 6362783Abstract: A method of detecting a position of a radio mobile station in radiocommunications, which is capable of accurately and simply finding the position of the mobile station. At a measuring point the mobile station measures the reception radio strength levels from a plurality of base stations and conveys the measurement results through the base station to a control station. The control station learns, through a neural network, the correlation between the reception radio strength levels and the position of the mobile station on the basis of the measurement results at a plurality of measuring points and the positions of the measuring points. Subsequently, when the mobile station communicates to the control station the reception radio strength levels measured at an arbitrary point, the control station estimates the position of the mobile station, causing those measurement results, on the basis of the correlation obtained through the learning.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2000Date of Patent: March 26, 2002Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masataka Sugiura, Hiroyoshi Ishibashi, Etsumi Kanaya, Toru Kubo, Kazuaki Yamaguchi, Natsuki Oka
