  • Publication number: 20240174132
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a drive source, a battery and a controller. The battery includes two storages, a positive node connecting positives of the storages, a negative node connecting negatives of the storages, a connection circuit connecting the negative of the first storage and the positive of the second storage, a first contactor in the connection circuit, a second contactor and a first fuse provided between the positive node and a first connection portion connecting the positive of the second storage and the connection circuit, and a third contactor and a second fuse provided between the negative node and a second connection portion connecting the negative of the first storage and the connection circuit. The controller switches between a first state where the storages are connected in series and chargeable at a first voltage and a second state where the storages are connected in parallel and chargeable at a second voltage.

  • Patent number: 7153910
    Abstract: The invention provides: a water-absorbent resin granule-containing composition with resolution of various problems, as caused by water-absorbent resin fine powders, and with high granulation strength, and with no physical property deterioration due to granulation, and, if anything, with improvement of the absorption capacity under a load by granulation; and a process for producing the above granule. A water-absorbent resin primary particle and a water-absorbent resin granule are separately surface-crosslinked and then mixed, or mixed and then surface-crosslinked. The granulation is carried out by mixing a preheated aqueous liquid and a water-absorbent resin powder at a high speed or by supplying a water-absorbent resin powder downstream of an aqueous liquid with a continuous extrusion mixer.
