Abstract: A power supply system includes a power supply circuit and an output unit. The power supply circuit generates a pulsating voltage. The output unit is to be connected to a pair of electric wires to apply the pulsating voltage to the pair of electric wires. The power supply circuit generates the pulsating voltage such that the pulsating voltage has a full-wave rectified waveform obtained by full-wave rectifying an alternating voltage as a wave alternating between a positive voltage and a negative voltage.

Abstract: A power supply includes an input for receiving a first DC voltage, an output for outputting a second DC voltage, a voltage conversion circuit configured to convert the first DC voltage into the second DC voltage, and a control circuit configured to control the voltage conversion circuit to vary a voltage value of the second DC voltage. The control circuit is configured to control the voltage conversion circuit so as to decrease the voltage value of the second DC voltage from a first voltage value to a second voltage value for a predetermined duration every time a predetermined period elapses. The first voltage value is equal to or greater than a voltage value necessary to keep lighting a light source. The second voltage value is smaller than the voltage value necessary to keep lighting the light source.

Abstract: A lighting device that supplies current to light-emitting units includes: a DC-to-DC converter; a switch unit connected to the light-emitting units; and a control circuit which controls the DC-to-DC converter and the switch unit. The DC-to-DC converter includes: an inductor through which current from the DC-to-DC converter is provided to the light-emitting units; and a first switch element connected in series with the inductor and which switches ON/OFF. The control circuit includes: a zero-crossing detector that detects that current flowing in the inductor is substantially zero due to the first switch element switching OFF, and outputs a zero-current detection signal; and a switch controller that selects one of the light-emitting units and controls the switch unit to cause the current from the DC-to-DC converter to be supplied to the selected light-emitting unit when the first switch element subsequently switches ON, each time the switch controller receives the zero-current detection signal.

Abstract: In a signal transmitter, a control circuit is configured to control a discharge switch and a control switch to transmit a transmission signal for causing the value of the output voltage to be a first voltage value or a second voltage value smaller than the first voltage value for each constant period. The control circuit controls the discharge switch and the control switch such that a voltage gradient becomes a prescribed gradient in a case where the control circuit changes the value of the output voltage from the first voltage value to the second voltage value.

Abstract: In a lighting device, when determining that both of a first measuring value and a second measuring value are not an abnormal value, a controller is configured to control an output of a power converter based on the first and second measuring values. The first measuring value is a temperature inside a main body of the lighting device, sensed by a first temperature sensor. The second measuring value is a temperature of a light source, sensed by a second temperature sensor. When determining that at least one of the first and second measuring values is the abnormal value, the controller is configured to control the output of the power converter to another value that is different from a value of the output set based on the first and second measuring values.

Abstract: A power supply device includes converters, a command circuit, and a setter. The converters correspond to loads. The command circuit controls the converters. The setter sets a magnitude of an output of at least one target converter of the converters in accordance with an output characteristic representing a relationship between an input voltage of the at least one target converter and an output limit value which is an upper limit value of the output from the at least one target converter. The output characteristic is a characteristic that the output limit value decreases as the input voltage lowers when the input voltage is lower than a threshold. The setter varies the threshold of the output characteristic in accordance with an operation status of the converters and sets the magnitude of the output from the at least one target converter in accordance with the output characteristic whose threshold has been varied.
