20130128187 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - A high quality liquid crystal display device has an alignment film with a photoconductive characteristic. Since a region having gate lines situated therebelow does not undergo irradiation of a backlight, no photoconductive effect can be obtained.

The efficient delivery of data allows the client to present text, graphics, video, audio and other multimedia information from a web page over the internet as a coordinated presentation. | 06-04-2009 |

20120322280 | PLUG CAP - One object of the invention is to provide a plug cap that more reliably prevents the leakage of current by suppressing the ingress of water from a gap between a terminal body and a rubber member. | 12-20-2012 |
20130257353 | BATTERY CHARGING APPARATUS - A battery charging apparatus includes a plurality of input terminals which are connected to respective phases of a three-phase AC dynamo, and a rectifying circuit including a plurality of rectifying elements and a plurality of switching elements. A switching element control unit and pulse generation unit are provided, for controlling the turning on/off of the switching elements, and for generating a pulse signal, respectively. The switching element control unit is configured to control the plurality of switching elements, and includes a potential difference detection unit configured to detect potential differences between potentials of input terminals, and a specifying unit configured to determine a phase order of AC outputs which are input to the input terminals. | 10-03-2013 |
20140300318 | BATTERY CHARGING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE - A battery charging apparatus includes a position sensor for outputting a position detection signal, a sensor for detecting an output current or voltage of a predetermined phase, a regulator for supplying DC power obtained by rectifying three-phase AC from the generator to a battery, and an inverter control section for executing energization control of the respective switching elements of the regulator based on a phase of an induced voltage of the generator calculated on the basis of the position detection signal. The inverter control section inputs a revolution speed signal Ne of the generator, the position detection signal Tp, and either output signal out of a current signal or a voltage signal detected by the sensor, and estimates an error of an attaching position of the position sensor with respect to the induced voltage of the predetermined phase based on the position detection signal and the output signal. | 10-09-2014 |
