ONBOARD CONTROL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18700058 titled 'ONBOARD CONTROL APPARATUS
The abstract of the patent application describes an onboard control apparatus that includes a duty ratio control unit, a current control unit, and a switching unit. The duty ratio control unit controls the duty ratio to turn a switch on and off at a set ratio, while the current control unit changes the current supplied to the resistor portion. The switching unit switches to current control when a specific condition is met during duty ratio control.
- Duty ratio control unit for switching on and off at a set ratio
- Current control unit for adjusting the current supplied to the resistor portion
- Switching unit that switches to current control under specific conditions
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for controlling electrical systems - Industrial automation for precise current control - Renewable energy systems for efficient power management
Problems Solved: - Precise control of duty ratio and current supply - Efficient switching between duty ratio and current control - Enhanced performance of onboard electrical systems

Original Abstract Submitted
An onboard control apparatus includes a duty ratio control unit, a current control unit, and a switching unit. The duty ratio control unit performs duty ratio control so as to turn a switch on and off at a set duty ratio. The current control unit performs current control so as to change the current to be supplied to the resistor portion while continuously supplying the current to the resistor portion. The switching unit switches, when a switching condition is established while the duty ratio control unit is performing the duty ratio control, to the current control by the current control unit.
