Abstract
This ammonia synthesis system comprises: a catalytic reactor that houses a first catalyst and a second catalyst for synthesizing ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen, the temperatures of the first catalyst and the second catalyst being different from each other; and a gas supply unit that supplies a first starting material gas that contains hydrogen and nitrogen to the catalytic reactor. The catalytic reactor is connected to the gas supply unit and has a gas inlet through which the first starting material gas flows into the catalytic reactor. The first catalyst is disposed closer to the gas inlet side than the second catalyst and synthesizes ammonia using the first starting material gas supplied through the gas inlet. The second catalyst synthesizes ammonia using a second starting material gas that includes the gas supplied via the first catalyst.
A power receiver device includes a receiver coil including a first coil and a second coil different in power receiving period when performing wireless power transfer. The first coil is longer in power receiving period than the second coil. The resonant circuit unit (150) includes the first resonant capacitor (141) connected to the first coil, a second resonant capacitor (142) connected to the second coil, and a heat dissipation structure in which a heat dissipation performance of the first resonant capacitor (141) is higher than a heat dissipation performance of the second resonant capacitor (142).
A power transmitter (20) includes a power-transmitter control unit (70) and power-transmitter communication coils (40a to 40d). A power receiver (100) includes a power-receiver communication coil (170) and a power-receiver control unit (230). The power-transmitter communication coils (40a to 40d) are arranged such that at least a part of each receivable range is different. The power-receiver control unit divides vehicle-side information into multiple pieces, includes each piece in separate communication frames, and transmits the communication frames via the power-receiver communication coil at different timings. The power-transmitter control unit receives the communication frames via the power-transmitter communication coils, respectively, receives the vehicle-side information from the received communication frames, and controls energization of a power transmitter coil (22) based on the vehicle-side information. Accordingly, necessary information can be transmitted.

IN-VEHICLE POWER RECEIVING SYSTEM AND WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM
In a wireless power transfer system, a power transmitter coil is provided at a travel path, and wireless power transfer is performed between the power transmitter coil at the travel path and an in-vehicle power receiver coil (102) when a vehicle (400) travels on the travel path. Two or more power receiver coils (power receivers 100) can be mounted on the vehicle. An ECU (430) includes a recognition unit that recognizes power receiving capability information indicating a power receiving capability of the vehicle by the power receiver coil mounted on the vehicle, and a power receiving control unit that performs power receiving control based on the power receiving capability information recognized by the recognition unit.

VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM
A wireless power transfer system includes a power transmitter having a power transmitter coil provided at a travel path, and a power receiver (100) mounted on a vehicle (400) and including a power receiver coil (102) that performs wireless power transfer with the power transmitter coil. A motor (412) can be driven by power received by the power receiver, and the vehicle can travel by driving the motor. An ECU (430) includes an acquisition unit that acquires power receiving amount information indicating a power receiving amount per unit time received by the power receiver in the vehicle, and a travel control unit that executes control related to vehicle travel based on the power receiving amount information acquired by the acquisition unit.

WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM, PROGRAM, CONTROL METHOD FOR WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM, POWER TRANSMITTER AND POWER RECEIVER
The power transmitter (20) includes a power transmitter coil (22), and wirelessly supplies power from the power transmitter coil to a power receiver coil (102) included in a power receiver (100) of a vehicle. The power transmitter includes a power-transmitter control unit (70) that controls energization of the power transmitter coil, and a power-transmitter communication coil (40). The power receiver includes a power-receiver communication coil (170) for wireless communication with the power-transmitter communication coil, and a power-receiver control unit (230) that controls energization of the power-receiver communication coil. The power-receiver control unit modulates a generated vehicle-side signal and supplies it to the power-receiver communication coil. The power-transmitter control unit determines whether there is a power supply request based on the demodulated signal of the output signal from the power-transmitter communication coil 40, and energizes the power transmitter coil when it is determined that there is a power supply request.

WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM, PROGRAM, CONTROL METHOD FOR WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM, POWER RECEIVER, AND POWER TRANSMITTER
A power-receiver control unit (230) encodes a requested power into a bit sequence such that a relatively smaller value is dominant and a relatively larger value is recessive in each value of the bit sequence, and includes the encoded requested power in a specific signal. The power-receiver control unit supplies the specific signal including a power supply request signal and the requested power to a power-receiver communication coil (170). A power-transmitter control unit (70) determines whether there is a power supply request based on an output signal of a power-transmitter communication coil (40), and decodes the encoded requested power. On condition that the power-transmitter control unit determines that there is a power supply request, the power-transmitter control unit energizes a power transmitter coil (22) so that power supplied from the power transmitter coil to a power receiver coil (102) becomes the decoded requested power.
