Abstract: In a diagnosis method of a battery of an embodiment, based on a measurement result of a first impedance of a battery at a first frequency, it is determined, for each of a plurality of SOC values, whether an absolute value of a change ratio of the first impedance to the SOC is not more than a reference value. In the diagnosis method, for a target SOC value whose absolute value of the change ratio is not more than the reference value in the plurality of SOC values, a second impedance of the battery at a second frequency higher than the first frequency is measured. In the diagnosis method, determination concerning the state of the battery is performed based on the measurement results of the first impedance and the second impedance for the target SOC value.

Abstract: In a charging method of a battery of an embodiment, at each of a first time point and a second time point after a time point at which a predetermined time is elapsed from the first time point, a superimposed current obtained by superimposing a current waveform that periodically changes at a predetermined frequency on a charging current is input to the battery, thereby measuring, concerning an impedance of the battery at the predetermined frequency, a first impedance at the first time point and a second impedance at the second time point. In the charging method, using a parameter representing an increase state of the second impedance to the first impedance as an index, a current value of the charging current is adjusted.

Abstract: A caulking machine has a column with a table for placing a work piece having rivet shanks passing therethrough, a cylinder vertically movably mounted on the column, a piston shaft fixedly mounted in the cylinder so as to be movable together with the cylinder, a spindle rotatably mounted in the piston shaft, and a rivet head forming tool having a forming shaft and mounted to the bottom end of the spindle. The forming shaft is adapted to be pressed against the rivet shank in the work piece by operating the cylinder, and can be rotated by a motor via the spindle to form a rivet head on the rivet shank. The machine has a rotation detector for determining whether a rivet head is being formed or the machine is idling by measuring the rotation of the forming shaft. If it is determined that the machine is idling, a display device can be activated and the operation of the machine can be stopped.
