  • Patent number: 11309720
    Abstract: A lithium ion battery control device includes an acquirer configured to acquire a determination index related to the degree of occlusion of a lithium ion battery in which a degree of occlusion of lithium ions occluded in graphite of a negative electrode changes in accordance with an amount of stored power, and a controller configured to perform control for causing the lithium ion battery to be charged with power or causing power of the lithium ion battery to be discharged so that the degree of occlusion is close to a degree of occlusion associated with a specific region when a region associated with the degree of occlusion is determined not to be the specific region associated with the degree of occlusion which includes LiC12 having a degree of occlusion represented by a stoichiometric ratio and does not include LiC6 having a degree of occlusion represented by a stoichiometric ratio.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10591425
    Abstract: An X-ray diffraction measurement method includes an arranging step of arranging a shielding plate and a two-dimensional detector on an outgoing optical axis, and a calculating step of calculating a diffraction profile indicating an X-ray intensity with respect to a diffraction angle of the object to be measured, on the basis of a two-dimensional X-ray image detected by the two-dimensional detector. In the arranging step, the shielding plate is arranged in a manner so that the slit is inclined at least in a direction about the outgoing optical axis with respect to an orthogonal direction which is orthogonal to both the incident optical axis and the outgoing optical axis.

  • Patent number: 7445836
    Abstract: A molded product of fiber reinforced composite material is provided, which includes a substantially flat portion and a shaping portion that is molded to be more complex in shape than the flat portion. The substantially flat portion has a first parent material and a reinforcing material made of long-fiber sheet, and the shaping portion has a second parent material and short fibers.
