Abstract: A power conversion control device controls a power converter. The power converter converts AC power into DC power. The power conversion control device includes a hardware processor coupled to a memory. The processor performs overcurrent protection by which operation of the power converter is suspended. The overcurrent protection is performed when an amount of output current of the power converter is equal to or greater than a threshold value. The processor permits restart of operation of the power converter having been suspended by the overcurrent protection. The restart is permitted only when the overcurrent protection is performed due to decrease in output voltage of the power converter. The processor restarts operation of the power converter after the restart of operation of the power converter is permitted.

Abstract: A power reception device in a power transmission system including a power transmission device including a primary coil and the power reception device including a secondary coil, the power transmission device being configured to drive the primary coil and transmit AC power corresponding to a clock signal which is frequency-modulated according to a binary data signal, the primary coil and the secondary coil being electromagnetically coupled together to receive by the secondary coil in the power reception device, the AC power transmitted from the power transmission device, comprises a clock-signal extraction circuit configured to extract the clock signal from an induced voltage induced at one end of the secondary coil in receiving the AC power; and a demodulation circuit configured to generate a pulse synchronously with the clock signal extracted by the clock-signal extraction circuit, and demodulate the pulse to obtain the binary data signal.

Abstract: A contactless power transmitting device is provided with: a primary coil that can be magnetically coupled with a secondary coil of a contactless power receiving device; a first temperature sensor that detects the ambient temperature of the primary coil; a second temperature sensor that detects the temperature at a different location to the first temperature sensor; and a control unit. The control unit is configured to determine whether a value obtained by subtracting the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor from the ambient temperature of the first coil detected by the first temperature sensor exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and to stop the power to the first coil when the subtracted value exceeds the threshold value.

Abstract: A contactless power-receiving device, which is connected to equipment via a connection terminal and which supplies power to the load for the equipment, provided with: a secondary coil which intersects the alternating magnetic flux generated from a primary coil to which an alternating power is supplied; and a control unit which supplies induced electromotive force of the secondary coil to the load. The control unit determines the amount of charge in the load and determines whether or not to supply power to the load on the basis of the determined amount of charge.

Abstract: A portable terminal is activated when receiving verification power transmitted in a contactless manner from a charger using electromagnetic coupling between the charger and the portable terminal. The portable terminal sends an electrical signal (wakeup frame) indicating activation immediately after being activated to the charger. Reception of the wakeup frame triggers the power transmitting device to start a verification process on the power receiving device and perform a detection process for a metal foreign object. After authentication is established, the charger transmits normal power to the portable terminal.

Abstract: A primary-side controller (12) retains a reference current value corresponding to an input current measured in the previous detection cycle by an input current measurement unit (11), in a charging state. The primary-side controller (12) adds the retained reference current value and a predetermined current value, and generates a first threshold value. When the input current measured by the input current measurement unit (11) in the latest detection cycle is equal to or greater than the first threshold value, a determination is made that a foreign metal is present in the vicinity of a first coil (L1).
