  • Publication number: 20240145152
    Abstract: A motor-driven compressor includes an inverter device. The inverter device includes a common mode choke coil. The common mode choke coil includes an annular core, two windings wound around the core, and an annular conductor that covers the two windings. The conductor is divided into a first metal plate and a second metal plate, which are combined to form an annular shape such that induced current flows in a circumferential direction of the conductor so as to hinder changes in leakage magnetic flux from the core. The second metal plate is thermally connected to the housing. The first metal plate is thermally connected to the second metal plate. At least one of an electrical resistance value or a thermal resistance value in a current path of the induced current is lower in the second metal plate than in the first metal plate.

  • Patent number: 11916164
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a light-emitting element includes providing the light-emitting element that includes a light-emitting layer with an emission wavelength of not more than 306 nm and a p-type layer including AlGaInN including Mg as an acceptor, and removing hydrogen in the p-type layer from the light-emitting element by irradiating the light-emitting element with ultraviolet light at a wavelength of not more than 306 nm from outside and treating the light-emitting element with heat in a state in which a reverse voltage, or a forward voltage lower than a threshold voltage of the light-emitting element, or no voltage is applied to the light-emitting element. The removing of hydrogen in the p-type layer from the light-emitting element is performed in a N2 atmosphere at not less than 650° C. or in a N2+O2 atmosphere at not less than 500° C.

  • Publication number: 20230299648
    Abstract: A damping unit includes a damping bent portion having the form of a flat plate and bent from a damping side portion. The damping bent portion is thermally coupled to a heat dissipation surface. This transfers the heat generated by the damping unit from the damping bent portion, in addition to the damping side portion, to the heat dissipation surface of an inverter case.

  • Patent number: 11628729
    Abstract: An inverter controller includes a processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to obtain a command rotation speed transmitted repeatedly from outside of the inverter controller, count a command obtaining interval that is a period from a point in time where an old command rotation speed was obtained to a point in time where a new command rotation speed is obtained, set a target acceleration of the electric motor when the command rotation speed has been obtained, and control the inverter circuit such that the electric motor rotates at the set target acceleration. The processing circuitry is configured to calculate a command acceleration based on the counted command obtaining interval and the new command rotation speed, the command acceleration being set as the target acceleration.

  • Patent number: 11316467
    Abstract: An inverter controller is configured to control an inverter circuit that drives an on-vehicle electric motor by using an on-vehicle electricity storage device. The inverter controller includes a two-phase voltage command value deriving unit that derives two-phase voltage command values on the basis of an external command value delivered from an external device and an acquisition result of a speed acquiring unit, and a three-phase voltage command value deriving unit that derives three-phase voltage command values on the basis of the two-phase voltage command values. The three-phase voltage command value deriving unit derives the three-phase voltage command values on the basis of a voltage utilization factor, which is calculated on the basis of the two-phase voltage command values and the acquisition result.
