  • Patent number: 11327124
    Abstract: In a ground fault detection apparatus, a first charge voltage of a detection capacitor measured with a positive electrode side of a high-voltage battery connected in series with a positive electrode side end of the detection capacitor and a negative electrode side end of the detection capacitor grounded, is compared with a second charge voltage of the detection capacitor measured with the positive electrode side end of the detection capacitor grounded and the negative electrode side of the high-voltage battery connected in series with the negative electrode side end of the detection capacitor. When the first charge voltage is smaller and degree of smallness is greater than a predetermined reference, it is determined that positive electrode side insulation resistance is decreased. When the second charge voltage is smaller and degree of smallness is greater than a predetermined reference, it is determined that negative electrode side insulation resistance is decreased.

  • Patent number: 11222100
    Abstract: A terminal apparatus (1) includes a data acquisition unit (113) that acquires data from a business server (2) by transmitting a request to access a one-time URL indicated by URL information received from the business server (2). The business server (2) includes a URL generation unit (212) that generates a one-time URL, an expiration date setting unit (213) that sets an expiration date of the one-time URL, an authentication processing unit (216) that authenticates the terminal apparatus (1), and a state setting unit (215) that sets either an authentication function active state or an authentication function inactive state within the expiration date of the one-time URL. In a case where the authentication processing unit (216) receives the access request, the authentication processing unit (216) starts an authentication process when the authentication function active state is set, and avoids executing the authentication process when the authentication function inactive state is set.
