Patent number: 11979021Abstract: A power converter for a power system performs power control of a power system by using a first control value derived based on a first stabilization command value for causing a voltage on a first DC bus to be within a first range and a first control command value different from the first stabilization command value. A power converter for a solar cell performs power control of a solar cell by using a second control value derived based on a second stabilization command value for causing a voltage on a second DC bus to be within a second range and a second control command value different from the second stabilization command value. The first range is narrower than the second range.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2020Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akira Yoshitake, Tomomi Kato, Takuya Karikawa, Yoshinori Noritake

Publication number: 20150188454Abstract: An inverter device converts a DC power into a three-phase AC power and superimposes the AC power on a power grid. A method for controlling the inverter device includes: obtaining, when the three-phase AC power is formed to contain a reactive power having a same amount in each of phases of the three-phase AC power, frequencies of respective phases of the power grid as present frequencies; controlling the reactive power to be contained in each of the phases to have a same amount such that the frequencies further increase when the present frequencies are higher than previous frequencies which have been obtained before the present frequencies are obtained, and such that the frequencies further decrease when the present frequencies are lower than the previous frequencies; and detecting a power outage state of the power grid based on the present frequencies of the respective phases and the previous frequencies.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2014Publication date: July 2, 2015Inventors: Yoshinori NORITAKE, Kiyoma YAMAGISHI

Patent number: 9005796Abstract: A power storage unit includes a battery module housed in a battery case. The battery module has, as components, a plurality of battery cells stacked and arranged in a direction (direction Y) crossing a transverse direction. Reinforcing members arranged at a predetermined spacing are provided between the battery cells. The power storage unit of this structure can prevent damage to the power storage unit disposed between seats adjacent to each other in the transverse direction, when frame members provided in the seats are moved in the transverse direction in the event of a crash of a moving conveyance.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2007Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tomohiko Shishido, Yoshinori Noritake, Kiyoshi Matsumoto

Patent number: 6491333Abstract: There is provided a sun visor holder wherein efficiency with which the sun visor holder is mounted on a body panel is greatly improved. A sun visor holder includes holding pieces engaging with an interior material, and also includes engaging claws engaging with and nipping a body panel, and a flange portion. The sun visor holder can be mounted at the body panel in a state of being temporarily fastened to the interior material, and can also be mounted by simply being inserted in mounting holes. Therefore, the efficiency with which the sun visor holder is mounted on the body panel is greatly improved.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2001Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignees: NIFKO Inc., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kouji Ichikawa, Yoshinori Noritake, Eiji Hibi

Patent number: 6467937Abstract: A room lamp fixing structure having a temporary fixing means provided for a room lamp and a ceiling trim and a permanent fixing means provided for the room lamp and a ceiling framework of a car body. This construction includes a ceiling trim having a recess for accommodating the room lamp, the recess having its side surface inclined so as to become gradually narrow from the opening portion to the bottom portion, and a room lamp having in its side surface a guide projection for positioning the room lamp and the ceiling trim by abutting against the slant side surface of the recess during the permanent fixing. This structure allows the guide projection to abut against the slant side surface, and thereby the room lamp and the ceiling trim are positioned.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2001Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignees: Ichikoh Industries, Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Satoshi Nagata, Eiji Hibi, Yoshinori Noritake
