  • Patent number: 12134429
    Abstract: An auxiliary power supply apparatus is disposed on a power supply path from a main power supply apparatus to an electric power steering apparatus. The auxiliary power supply apparatus includes an auxiliary power supply that is a rechargeable power storage device, an on-off switch that is configured to selectively disconnect or connect the electric power steering apparatus and the auxiliary power supply from or to the main power supply apparatus, and an operation unit that is configured to operate the on-off switch. The operation unit is configured to switch the on-off switch from an ON state to an OFF state on a condition that a voltage supplied to the auxiliary power supply apparatus from the main power supply apparatus is less than or equal to a specified voltage reduction determination value and a vehicle speed is greater than a specified low vehicle speed determination value.

  • Patent number: 12117632
    Abstract: The laminate film is a laminate including 51 or more layers in which an A layer mainly composed of a thermoplastic resin A and a B layer mainly composed of a thermoplastic resin B, which is different from the thermoplastic resin A, are alternately laminated. A transmission spectrum X is obtained by exposing the film to linear polarized light (X wave) that oscillates in the alignment direction of the film over a range of wavelengths from 300 to 900 nm. A transmission spectrum Y is obtained by exposing the film to linear polarized light (Y wave) that oscillates in the direction perpendicular to the alignment direction of the film over a range of wavelengths from 300 to 900 nm. The area Amax (nm·%) of the largest region among regions enclosed by the transmission spectrum X and the transmission spectrum Y is 150 to 1500.

  • Patent number: 8602661
    Abstract: In a manufacturing method of a housing-integrated optical semiconductor component, an optical device (26, 27) is packaged on a lead frame (24, 25) having a leg portion (28), and a periphery of the optical device (26, 27) is sealed by an optically transmissive material, whereby an optical semiconductor component (22) is manufactured. Thereafter, a housing (23) is integrally molded to the optical semiconductor component (22) so that the housing (23) covers a portion (30) of the optical semiconductor component, which is sealed by the optically transmissive material.
