Publication number: 20080299445Abstract: A chargeable and dischargeable lithium cell and the filter unit capable of absorbing flammable materials are housed inside a casing. When an overvoltage is impressed from a battery charger to a battery pack and then internal gases inside the lithium cell are discharged out of an explosion-proof valve, the flammable materials included in internal gases are absorbed by the filter unit to change the internal gases into nonflammable gases. The internal gases purified by passing through the filter unit are exhausted from a gas-vent opening to the outside of the casing. By providing the filter unit inside the casing, the flammable materials discharged out of the lithium cell 1 can be prevented from leaking to the outside of the casing.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2007Publication date: December 4, 2008Applicant: DENSEI-LAMBDA K.K.Inventors: Yasuo Nagasawa, Hiroyuki Yashiro, Kazuhiko Nakane, Hiroshi Nakazawa

Patent number: 6940811Abstract: A redundant information processing system with sufficient reliability is provided at a moderate cost without any part that could be a single fault point in the system. In the redundant information processing system in which an actuator 5 is controlled based on a signal from a sensor 4, each of processing devices 1A to 1C collects command signals from other processing devices and determines which command signal to be valid according to a logical decision, for example, a majority decision. When the command signals of more than two of the processing devices including the relevant processing device which determines are valid, the command signals are output according to priority while a control information blocking signal is output to a processing device other than those which are valid.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2001Date of Patent: September 6, 2005Assignees: Ihi Aerospace Co., Ltd., Aeroastro Inc.Inventors: Scott A.
