20090160380Motor Drive Device and Control Method Thereof - A torque command (Tht) used in the calculation of a voltage command (Vht) of a voltage-up converter is generated by adding an upper limit value value (Tc_max) of damping control that can be set by a motor drive device with a target drive torque (Tbt). Accordingly, the torque command (Tht) exhibits a waveform absent of variation, differing from a torque command (Tcmd) that is generated by adding damping torque generated based on revolution count variation component with the target drive torque (Tbt). Therefore, the voltage command (Vht) calculated based on the torque command (Tht) exhibits a waveform absent of variation. Accordingly, increase in current passing through the voltage-up converter caused by variation in the voltage command (Vht) can be suppressed. As a result, power loss at the voltage-up converter is reduced and operation of the motor at high efficiency can be realized. Further, the voltage-up converter can be protected from element fracture.06-25-2009

20120057437Power supply unit and electronic timepiece - A power supply unit includes: a first power supply circuit that supplies a voltage to a load driving unit that drives a load unit; a second power supply circuit that supplies a voltage to circuits other than the load driving unit; and a control unit that switches the voltage supplied to the first power supply circuit and the voltage supplied to the second power supply circuit in accordance with properties of the load driving unit.03-08-2012
20130021879ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT AND ELECTRONIC TIMEPIECE - A power unit allows insertion of a cell therein, and supplies an electric power output from the inserted cell. A solar cell charges the cell inserted in the power unit. A CPU detects a voltage value of the cell inserted in the power unit, determines that the cell inserted into the power unit is a secondary cell when the detected voltage value is equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold value, and determines that the cell inserted into the power unit is a primary cell when the detected voltage value is larger than the predetermined threshold value.01-24-2013
20130026980ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT AND ELECTRONIC TIMEPIECE - Notification of a charging trend of a secondary cell is achieved with a simpler configuration. A solar cell charges a secondary cell. A CPU detects voltage values of the secondary cell at a predetermined cycle and determines increase and decrease of the charged amount of the secondary cell on the basis of the result of comparison of the voltage values detected a plurality of number of times. The CPU also displays information indicating increase and decrease of the determined charged amount of the secondary cell on a display unit.01-31-2013

20090300600INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INSTALLATION METHOD - The installation of multiple applications by an installer is executed in a mode that does not display an error message in a display device. Upon an installation performed by the installer ending, the result of the installation performed by the installer is determined. As a result of the determination, an installer that failed at the installation is caused to re-execute the installation of the application whose installation failed in a mode that displays an error message in the display device. As a result of the re-execution, an error message is displayed in the display device by the installer that failed at the installation.12-03-2009
