Inventor: UMEMOTO AKIRA
IPC: H02J7/16
Filed: 2013-02-08
Abstract: A power generation voltage of an alternator capable of supplying a charging current to a battery is boosted (Step 104). A determination is then made as to whether or not a condition in which the charging current supplied to the battery equals or exceeds a predetermined threshold has been established continuously for a predetermined time after the power generation voltage of the alternator is boosted (Step 112). The battery is determined to be in a low state of charge condition, in which a state of charge of the battery is equal to or smaller than a predetermined state of charge, when it is determined that the condition in which the battery charging current equals or exceeds the predetermined threshold has been established continuously for the predetermined time (Step 114).

Abstract: A system for determining a bearing or location of a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag using a handheld RFID reader is described. In one embodiment, the reader is equipped with an accelerometer. A user moves the reader while the reader receives the tag's signal and determines the tag signal's phase at multiple locations. The locations of the reader antenna can be reconstructed using the accelerometer data. By using the phase determined at multiple locations in conjunction with the location of the reader antenna, the reader can determine the bearing of the tag. For an RFID reader not equipped with an accelerometer, the sign and ratio of the rate of change in the phase of a tag's signal to the distance traveled by the reader antenna can be used to determine the location of the tag relative to the reader.

Abstract: Provided are an auto document feeder (ADF), a scanner including the ADF, and a method of controlling auto document feeding. The ADF includes: a feed unit picking up a sheet of paper and carrying the sheet of paper to a scan unit; a feed control unit controlling the feed unit; and a retry control unit. If a sheet of paper is not normally picked up by the feed unit, the retry control unit decreases a speed of a motor driving the feed unit or increases a current supplied to the motor for picking up the sheet of paper. Therefore, although sheets of paper are not normally fed when a user intends to use various kinds of sheets of paper with the ADF, the retry control unit may stabilize feeding of the feeding of the sheets of paper. Thus, efficient, convenient, and high-quality paper feeding may be possible.
