Abstract

A backup power supply system includes a detector, a power storage unit, a connection circuit, and a controller. The detector is configured to detect a failure of a power supply that supplies electric power to a load. The connection circuit connects the power storage unit to the load to supply electric power from the power storage unit to the load if the detector detects the failure of the power supply. The controller is configured to receive the electric power supplied from the power storage unit and perform an intermittent operation in which the controller repeats starting and stopping alternately if the detector detects the failure of the power supply.

Abstract

A lens includes: a lens surface region having a lens surface that condenses incident light; and a non-lens surface region in which the lens surface is nonexistent. The lens surface includes: a first lens surface that is a convex lens surface and is configured as a convex curved surface having a vertex; and a second lens surface that is an aspheric surface and has a different curvature from the first lens surface. An axis of a principal ray defined with respect to the second lens surface is non-coaxial with an axis of a principal ray defined with respect to the first lens surface.

The controller includes a collision avoider, and in a case where a no-entry region for the autonomous mobile body is not present on a navigation path from the current position to a first target position, when an environmental object is detected while the autonomous mobile body is moving on the navigation path, the collision avoider stops movement in a direction in which the autonomous mobile body possibly collides with the environmental object and rotation that changes a travel direction. When the collision avoider stops the movement and/or the rotation, the controller generates a second target position in a direction in which the autonomous mobile body is able to move from the current position, and controls the move mechanism to cause the autonomous mobile body to move to the first target position after moving from the current position to the second target position.

Abstract

Disturbance estimator estimates, based on a first manipulative variable and a controlled variable, a disturbance for a control target which outputs a controlled variable according to first manipulative variable, and outputs an estimation signal including an amount of disturbance. Model predictive controller calculates a second manipulative variable based on controlled variable to output a control signal including second manipulative variable. Modifier modifies second manipulative variable by reference to modification information based on amount of disturbance and thereby provides output signal including first manipulative variable as second manipulative variable thus modified. Model predictive controller includes one or more first processors. Disturbance estimator includes one or more second processors. Model predictive controller outputs control signal in a first output cycle. Disturbance estimator outputs estimation signal in a second output cycle. Modifier provides output signal in a third output cycle. Second and third output cycles are both shorter than first output cycle.
