  • Patent number: 11932263
    Abstract: A travel sickness estimation system includes an estimation unit and an output unit. The estimation unit is configured to perform estimation processing of estimating, based on person information indicating conditions of a person who is on board a moving vehicle, whether or not the person is in circumstances that would cause travel sickness for him or her. The output unit is configured to output a result of the estimation processing performed by the estimation unit.

  • Patent number: 7224217
    Abstract: A switching amplifier including a PWM circuit 14, a driver 15, a switching output circuit 16 and an LPF 17 is provided with a fluctuation detection circuit 12 for detecting fluctuations in the power supply voltage. The fluctuation detection circuit 12 includes detection resistors 122 and 123 connected in series between a positive power supply 19 and a negative power supply 20. A fluctuating signal RPL occurring at a fluctuation detection terminal 121 is supplied to the inverted input terminal of a differential amplifier 131 of a non-inverted amplifier circuit 13. The non-inverted amplifier circuit 13 inverts the fluctuating signal RPL, mixes the inverted fluctuating signal into the input signal eS, amplifies the mixed signal, and supplying the amplified signal to the PWM circuit 14.

  • Patent number: 6765449
    Abstract: A pulse width modulation circuit of the present invention includes: pulse generation means being provided with a first power supply and charged with a first current and a second current between which a constant current is distributed to turn ON/OFF a switching element, thereby generating a pulse from a first output section; pulse modulation means for controlling the charging while controlling a distribution ratio between the first current and the second current based on an input signal, thereby changing a pulse width of the output pulse; and first short circuit means for shorting the first output section with the first power supply when the pulse being output from the first output section transitions to a voltage of the first power supply.
