Patent number: 9469203Abstract: Battery information output equipment allows a driver of an electric vehicle 10 of an electricity consumer 2, now parked, to input what battery capacity is required at two or more points of time on or before the time at which the electric vehicle is scheduled to come into use, considering an operation schedule for the vehicle, and transmits the usable capacity at each point of the times, i.e., maximum capacity minus capacity required at each point of the times, to a power supply/demand management center 3, so that charge and discharge of a battery 17 is controlled by a charge/discharge command from the power supply/demand management center 3 such that use of battery capacity for power supply and demand leveling is kept within the usable capacity at any point of the times.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2011Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignees: Mitsubishi Jidosha Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha, Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki Kaisha, Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc.Inventors: Nobuo Momose, Makoto Kataniwa, Yasuhiro Nakai, Hiroyuki Kumazawa, Tatsuji Munaka, Yuichiro Shimura, Hiroshi Tanaka, Hiroshi Irie, Hitoshi Maejima

Patent number: 6913735Abstract: A methane or methanol producing system is proposed in which laser beams are generated in space by excitation of sunlight, transmitted onto land or sea without loss to obtain optical energy with high efficiency, and irradiated on a hydrogen producing device to produce industrially inexpensive hydrogen with high efficiency, thereby producing methane or methanol. A laser generating device for generating laser beams by exciting radiant light in laser rods by irradiation of sunlight is installed in space. The laser beams generated are transmitted to a light-receiving facility on land or on sea, and irradiated on a hydrogen generating device having a semiconductor electrode with a wavelength suitable for absorbing by the semiconductor electrode or by converting or shifting to a suitable wavelength. Using the hydrogen, methane or methanol is produced by a methane or methanol producing unit.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2002Date of Patent: July 5, 2005Assignees: Institute for Laser Technology, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc.Inventors: Kazuo Imasaki, Masahiro Mori, Hiroyuki Nagayama

Publication number: 20050095629Abstract: Multi-dimensional scaling is used to solve characteristic polynomials of similarity matrixes, in order to determine a minimal-number SNP set (htSNPs (haplotype-tagging SNPS)) for identifying an arbitrary number of haplotypes in blocks with strong linkage disequilibrium. Thus, unnecessary SNP typing in blocks with strong linkage disequilibrium can be avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2004Publication date: May 5, 2005Applicants: NEC Corporation, Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc., Japan Biological Informatics ConsortiumInventors: Toshio Furuta, Naoyuki Kamatani, Yoshihiro Nakamura, Toshikazu Ito, Eisuke Inoue

Publication number: 20050050129Abstract: A method of simultaneously estimating a diplotype-based penetrance as well as haplotype frequencies and diplotype configurations on the basis of observed genotype and phenotype data. The method includes a step a of calculating, on the basis of genotype data and phenotype data with haplotype frequencies and penetrance used as parameters, the maximum likelihood (L0max) obtained by maximizing likelihood under the hypothesis that there is no association between predetermined diplotype configurations and a predetermined phenotype, the maximum likelihood estimates of haplotype frequencies and penetrances, the maximum likelihood (Lmax) obtained by maximizing likelihood under the hypothesis that there is an association between the predetermined diplotype configurations and the predetermined phenotype; and a step b of calculating the penetrance from the maximum likelihood estimate obtained in said step a.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2004Publication date: March 3, 2005Applicants: Mitsubishi Research Institute, Inc., TailoraidInventors: Naoyuki Kamatani, Toshikazu Ito
