Patent number: 11350879Abstract: A wearable device attached to a subject includes an accelerometer that measures acceleration information, and a biological sensor that measures biological signal information of the subject. From the measured acceleration information and biological signal information, first feature data corresponding to a first predetermined period and second feature data corresponding to a second predetermined period are extracted. By machine learning based on the first feature data, a dynamic/static activity identification model, a dynamic-activity identification model, and a static-activity identification model, for the subject, are generated. By combination of results of determination based on each of the identification models, a posture and an activity of the subject are identified, and correspondence information, which associates the identified posture and activity with the biological signal information of the subject, is generated.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2016Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: NIPPON TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE CORPORATIONInventors: Keitaro Horikawa, Yoshitaka Nakamura, Masato Sawada, Akihiro Yamanaka, Shingo Tsukada, Toshiya Yamada

Patent number: 9509145Abstract: The disclosed distributed power supply system does not become disconnected from a grid simultaneously with others when the grid voltage falls instantaneously. In a distributed power supply device which controls an inverter circuit 10 based on a control signal obtained by comparing a predetermined carrier signal and voltage command signals of three phases and which converts DC power to AC power and supplies the AC power to a power grid of a three-phase AC power supply, fundamental wave signals of three phases are generated from a grid voltage of the three-phase AC power supply. A reference cosine wave signal is generated from the fundamental wave signals of three phases. A third harmonic signal is generated from the reference cosine wave signal and the fundamental wave signals of three phases. The three-phase fundamental wave signals and the third harmonic signal are added to generate voltage command signals of three phases.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2012Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignees: HOKURIKU ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, FUJI ELECTRIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Norikazu Kanao, Kansuke Fujii, Toshiya Yamada, Motohiro Katayama

Patent number: 8928178Abstract: With a method whereby reactive power is changed from a fluctuating output to a constant output by a frequency rise or fall monitor circuit stage level being exceeded, and an isolated operation is detected, a problem occurs with a small scale grid in that, as the frequency is liable to fluctuate due to a load fluctuation, there is liable to be a false detection of an isolated operation. In contrast, an abnormal frequency stage detection can be performed such that the frequency at a point when the rising edge of a reactive power fluctuation is detected, and the frequency at a point when the falling edge is detected, are detected sequentially, and an abnormal frequency stage detection is recognized when the order of the difference between the current detection value and the previous detection value is “increase”, “decrease”, “increase”.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2011Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Fuji Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshiya Yamada, Kansuke Fujii

Patent number: 8559201Abstract: A grid-connected inverter includes first and second power conversion circuits, a contactor and a control circuit. The first conversion circuit converts a first DC voltage to a second DC voltage. The second conversion circuit converts the second DC voltage to an AC voltage. The contactor connects an output side of the second conversion circuit to a power system. The control circuit includes a decision circuit and controls start and stop operations of the conversion circuits, and opening and closing of the contactor. The decision circuit decides whether a condition of the contactor is abnormal by detecting, after the control circuit controls the contactor to be open, whether or not a value of the second DC voltage is less than a threshold value, and if the value of the second DC voltage is detected to be not less than the threshold value, decides that the condition of the contactor is abnormal.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Fuji Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kansuke Fujii, Toshiya Yamada, Masaki Katoh
