Abstract:
A feed controller adopted to be included in a battery drive type device, the feed controller adopted to supply power to a predetermined load from a battery holder that obtains rated electromotive force from plural rated number of batteries having predetermined specification and connected in series while held by the battery holder, the feed controller includes: an outer casing attached to the battery holder in place of one of the plural batteries and having shape and size appropriate for being held by the battery holder; a converter unit disposed within the outer casing to receive voltage corresponding to the sum of the electromotive forces from the other batteries when the outer casing is held by the battery holder in place of the one battery and convert the supplied voltage to output voltage corresponding to the rated electromotive force; a switch unit inserted into a feed path for supplying the output from the converter unit to the predetermined load to open and close the feed path according to a feed control signal; and a feed control unit which generates the feed control signal to be supplied to the switch unit.
Abstract:
A remote control signal generation device for converting a primary remote control signal compliant to one code system according to a predetermined remote controller into a secondary remote control signal compliant to another code system and outputting the secondary remote control signal, includes an exterior member having shape and size suitable for being held in a battery holder, which is configured to hold a rated plural number of batteries having a predetermined specification to be applied as a power source for the remote controller to obtain a rated electromotive force by the rated number of batteries connected in series, instead of one of the plural number of batteries, a converter section, responsive to the exterior member being held in the battery holder instead of one of the batteries together with the others of the batteries, for being supplied with a voltage corresponding to a total value of the electromotive force of the others of the batteries to convert the supplied voltage into an output voltage corresponding to the rated electromotive force, a primary remote control signal detection section for detecting the primary remote control signal, a signal code conversion processing section for generating the secondary remote control signal compliant to the another code system corresponding to the primary remote control signal detected by the primary remote control signal detection section, and a secondary remote control signal transmission section for transmitting the secondary remote control signal generated by the signal code conversion processing section, and the converter section and the signal code conversion processing section are disposed in the exterior member.
