  • Patent number: 11605831
    Abstract: Provided is a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that can be produced while mixing at an interface between a positive electrode active material layer and a heat resistant layer is restricted even if a positive electrode slurry and a heat resistant layer slurry are simultaneously applied. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery disclosed here includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a non-aqueous electrolyte. The positive electrode includes a positive electrode current collector, a positive electrode active material layer formed on the positive electrode current collector, and a heat resistant layer which is formed on the positive electrode current collector and is adjacent to the positive electrode active material layer. The positive electrode active material layer contains a positive electrode active material. The positive electrode active material is porous particles in which primary particles are aggregated.

  • Patent number: 11561537
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a controller. The controller is configured to generate, when information related to a request to use a cabin unit is acquired from a terminal of a first user who intends an activity in the cabin unit rather than traveling by the cabin unit, a command for causing a traveling unit to pick up the first user. The traveling unit is connected to and carrying a predetermined cabin unit associated with the activity of the first user. The controller is configured to generate, to the traveling unit connected to the predetermined cabin unit where a predetermined number of the first users or more is riding, a command for placing the predetermined cabin unit at a predetermined location.

  • Patent number: 11462365
    Abstract: Provided is a positive electrode for lithium ion capacitor that allows increasing the capacity of a lithium ion capacitor. A method for producing a positive electrode for lithium ion capacitor disclosed herein includes a the steps of: giving a positive electrode mixture containing an activated carbon, a binder and a solvent, to a positive electrode collector; drying the positive electrode collector having the positive electrode mixture given thereto, to form a positive electrode mixture layer; and thermally treating the formed positive electrode mixture layer in an inert gas atmosphere or under reduced pressure, so that oxygen-containing functional groups present on the surface of the activated carbon detach from the surface of the activated carbon.
