  • Publication number: 20230101843
    Abstract: A vehicle-body structure prevents a submarine phenomenon of a passenger during a front-end collision and achieves lowering of the vehicle floor-height while maintaining a sufficient number of mounted batteries. Embodiments of a vehicle-body structure include a seat pan that is formed at part of a floor panel and on which a seat cushion is placed, and a battery arranged below the seat pan. A bulging portion that bulges upward is formed at a vehicle front-side of the seat pan. An accessory member is housed inside the bulging portion. An upper-end portion of the accessory member housed in the bulging portion 4 is positioned farther on the upper-side than a lower-end portion of the bulging portion 48a.

  • Patent number: 11616533
    Abstract: A radio power transmission system and a radio power transmission method are provided. The radio power transmission system includes a first radio device and a second radio device including a control signal generator and an antenna. The control signal generator generates a control signal for synchronizing frequencies and phases of power waves, based on signals indicating reception intensities of the power waves in a receiving device receiving the power waves. The antenna transmits the control signal to a plurality of the first radio devices. In the radio power transmission system, the plurality of first radio devices radiate, toward the receiving device, the power waves having the frequencies and phases set to a predetermined value based on the control signal.
