Patent number: 11984562Abstract: A highly safe power storage system is provided. If n (n is an integer over or equal to three) secondary batteries are used in a vehicle such as an electric vehicle, a circuit configuration is used with which the condition of each secondary battery is monitored using an anomaly detection unit; and if an anomaly such as a micro-short circuit is detected, only the detected anomalous secondary battery is electrically separated from the charging system or the discharging system.

Publication number: 20230413600Abstract: A light-emitting element, a bonding layer, and a frame-like partition are formed over a substrate. The partition is provided to surround the bonding layer and the light-emitting element, with a gap left between the partition and the bonding layer. A pair of substrates overlap with each other under a reduced-pressure atmosphere and then exposed to an air atmosphere or a pressurized atmosphere, whereby the reduced-pressure state of a space surrounded by the pair of substrates and the partition is maintained and atmospheric pressure is applied to the pair of substrates. Alternatively, a light-emitting element and a bonding layer are formed over a substrate. A pair of substrates overlap with each other, and then, pressure is applied to the bonding layer with the use of a member having a projection before or at the same time as curing of the bonding layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Applicant: Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co, Ltd.Inventor: Akihiro Chida -
