Patents by Inventor Tsuneyasu Kakizaki

Tsuneyasu Kakizaki has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9793843
    Abstract: A voltage controller generates a d-axis voltage command value and a q-axis voltage command value on the basis of a drive command signal and a three-phase current. When the state in which the absolute value of the resultant vector of the d-axis voltage command value and the q-axis voltage command value is not within a set predetermined range continues for a predetermined time or longer, a disconnection detector determines that a disconnection between a power converter and an AC motor has occurred. A gate controller transmits a gate command for turning off a switching element provided in the power converter to the power converter when the disconnection detector determines that a disconnection between the power converter and the AC motor has occurred.

  • Patent number: 8280565
    Abstract: A drive control apparatus for an electric car as can correct a synchronizing frequency without employing beacons, is proposed. A wheel-diameter correction information output means includes wheel-diameter information calculation means for calculating wheel-diameter calculation information expressive of a wheel diameter of an electric car, on the basis of two-phase current information. The wheel-diameter correction information output means also includes selection output means. The selection output means selects a wheel-diameter data output WD1, the wheel-diameter calculation information WD2 based on the wheel-diameter calculation means, or wheel-diameter default information WD0, and it outputs wheel-diameter correction information WD. A synchronizing-frequency calculation means outputs synchronizing frequency information FM on the basis of axle rotational-frequency information FR and the wheel-diameter correction information WD.
