Abstract:
An electronic key capable of using a simple system configuration to report information pertaining to a vehicle parking or stopping position. An electronic key (300) is an electronic key used to lock and unlock a vehicle (500) and has an electronic-key-side reception unit for receiving, from a vehicle-mounted device (200) mounted in the vehicle (500), vehicle-position information indicating the position at which the vehicle (500) is parked or stopped; an electronic-key-side memory unit for storing the received vehicle-position information; and an electronic-key-side transmission unit for transmitting the vehicle-position information to a guidance device (400) capable of presenting position information.
Abstract:
A power supply apparatus includes: a power supply circuit; and a control section, the power supply circuit including a power factor improvement circuit that improves a power factor of alternating-current electrical energy by switching of a transistor; and a DC/DC conversion apparatus that converts by switching of a transistor at least one of a voltage and a current of the electrical energy whose power factor is improved by the power factor improvement circuit, the control section being configured to control switching timings of the power factor improvement circuit and the DC/DC conversion apparatus, wherein the number of the power supply circuit is N, and the control section controls the switching timings such that the switching timing of the power factor improvement circuit differs among the N power supply circuits, and that the switching timing of the DC/DC conversion apparatus differs among the N power supply circuits.
Abstract:
A heat pump device for a vehicle, capable of effectively utilizing the heat of structural members. This heat pump device for a vehicle comprises: an electric compressor for compressing and discharging refrigerant; and a high-temperature water-refrigerant heat exchanger for conducting heat exchange between the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the electric compressor and a first cooling liquid which is antifreeze; the high-temperature water-refrigerant heat exchanger surrounding and being in contact with the electric compressor so as to be capable of heat exchange with the electric compressor.
