Abstract

In a power converter, a controller controls the operation of a converter, and a control voltage generator generates a control voltage for operating the controller. When the voltage value of the direct-current voltage output from the power converter is higher than the voltage value of the control voltage and a detection signal is not output from a voltage detector that detects the power supply voltage, the operation of switching elements of the converter is stopped under the control of the controller.

Abstract

A gas laser amplifier includes a housing, discharge electrode pairs, and an optical resonator. The housing includes an entrance window that allows entry of a first laser beam from outside and an exit window that allows exit of the first laser beam amplified. Each of the discharge electrode pairs excites a laser gas supplied between discharge electrodes facing each other in the housing. The optical resonator causes a second laser beam to oscillate with a gain of the excited laser gas in a non-incident state where the first laser beam from outside the housing does not enter the housing through the entrance window. In an incident state where the first laser beam enters the housing through the entrance window, the optical resonator suspends the oscillation of the second laser beam.

Abstract

A position measuring unit detects a present position of a car. A point-of-origin detecting unit detects a passage of the car at a point-of-origin position which is separated by a distance set in advance from a landing position of the car. Each of pattern generating units generates a run pattern based on mutually different algorithms. In each run pattern, an acceleration from before the car passes the point-of-origin position until the car stops is continuous. A pattern selecting unit selects a run pattern which minimizes a landing time as a run pattern which a run control unit causes a run of the car to follow based on a present position. The pattern selecting unit makes the selection based on a speed of the car at a timing when the car passes the point-of-origin position.

Abstract

A positioning apparatus (100) includes a temporary position computation unit (120), a two-dimensional position computation unit (140), a three-dimensional position computation unit (150), and a position aggregation unit (160), and executes three-dimensional positioning of a terminal using a relative angle formed by each base station and the terminal. The temporary position computation unit (120) computes a temporary position of the terminal based on observation data. The two-dimensional position computation unit (140) computes a two-dimensional position of the terminal based on the observation data and the temporary position. The three-dimensional position computation unit (150) computes a three-dimensional position of the terminal based on the observation data and the temporary position. The position aggregation unit (160) determines the position of the terminal by aggregating the two-dimensional position and the three-dimensional position.

Abstract

The coil component includes a coil, a first core having a first magnetic permeability, and a second core having a second magnetic permeability lower than the first magnetic permeability. The first core and the second core form a magnetic path. The coil forms two or more winding windows. The first core contacts with an entirety of one side line extending in a second direction of each of the winding windows, and protrudes from both ends of one side line of at least one of the winding windows. The second core contacts with three side lines other than the one side line of each of the winding windows. A surface resistance of the first core between two points that are 20 mm away from each other is not less than 5 Ω after a high-temperature storage test. A drive frequency of the coil component is not less than 20 kHz.
