Abstract: Heating a battery and cooling an electric power conversion device are achieved together. This mobile body includes an electric motor, a battery, a thermoelectric conversion element, an electric power conversion device, and a controller. The electric motor is a driving source. The electric power conversion device is configured to convert electric power outputted from the battery into driving electric power for the electric motor. The electric power conversion device is disposed in direct contact or in indirect contact with the battery with the thermoelectric conversion element interposed therebetween. The controller is configured to control electric power to be supplied to the thermoelectric conversion element. The controller controls, in a case where the battery is in a predetermined low-temperature state, the electric power to be supplied to the thermoelectric conversion element to cause a surface of the thermoelectric conversion element coupled to the battery to serve as a heat dissipation surface.

Abstract: A steel plate to be heated is a blank having a first region and a second region adjacent to the first region. The blank is heated by direct resistance heating. A jet of cooling medium is applied to the first region during the direct resistance heating such that a temperature of the first region is kept lower than a quenching region while heating the second region to be equal to or higher than the quenching temperature. To provide a clear boundary between the first and second regions, the jet of cooling medium is applied along a slant direction such that the cooling medium expands along the boundary between the first and second regions. Alternatively, a partition member is provided along the boundary between the first and second regions. The heated blank is then press-formed and cooled in a press die to obtain a hot-pressed product.
