Patents by Inventor Yoji Imahori

Yoji Imahori 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: 11329594
    Abstract: An apparatus that reduces leakage current and noise in various environments. The apparatus includes a motor, an inverter to supply power to the motor and a plurality of switching elements configured to convert input DC power into three-phase AC power, and a processor to control the plurality of switching elements. The processor generates a carrier, obtains a rising and falling edge timing of a PWM control signal of each phase based on superposition of a zero phase voltage, and drives a motor by shifting the PWM control signal of each phase to allow a rising edge timing and a falling edge timing of a PWM control signal of one phase among the PWM control signal of the each phase to be different from a rising edge timing and a falling edge timing of a PWM control signal of other phase among the PWM control signal of the each phase.

  • Publication number: 20160292105
    Abstract: The present invention continuously operates remaining slave devices except for abnormal slave devices and easily detects the abnormal slave devices, and comprises: a plurality of slave devices; a master device for controlling the plurality of slave devices; a transmission line including a main transmission line connected to the master device, and a plurality of sub-transmission lines branched from the main transmission line and connecting the plurality of slave devices in series, so as to enable data communication between the plurality of slave devices and the master device and to enable mutual data communication between the plurality of slave devices; and a blocking unit interposed between the main transmission line and each of the plurality of sub-transmission lines so as to enable the separation of the sub-transmission lines from the main transmission line.
