Patent number: 11912217Abstract: A vehicle is positively charged with static electricity due to an external factor. The vehicle includes a battery, a static eliminator sheet, and a holding member. The battery includes at least one cell, an electrolyte, a resin case, and negative and positive terminals. The resin case accommodates the components and electrolyte of each cell. The negative terminal is grounded to the vehicle body. The positive terminal is supplied with electric power from a charger. The static eliminator sheet is made of a material on a positive side of a triboelectric series with respect to a material of the resin case. The holding member holds the static eliminator sheet and the resin case in contact with each other. The holding member holds the battery at a predetermined location of the vehicle body in a state where the resin case and the static eliminator sheet are slidable due to vehicle body vibrations.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Koushi Yamada, Junichi Sudo, Kenichiro Sakurai, Kazuhiro Maeda, Toshio Tanahashi

Patent number: 11912956Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure relates to a sliding member. The sliding member includes: a first sliding portion having a first lubricant placed between first parts of a first friction sliding mechanism; and a second sliding portion having a second lubricant placed between second parts of a second friction sliding mechanism. The first sliding portion has a lubricant feed port from which the first lubricant is fed, and the second sliding portion has no lubricant feed port from which the second lubricant is fed. The first lubricant contains base oil and an additive. The second lubricant contains base oil and an additive containing conductive carbon. The second lubricant contains a relatively larger amount of conductive carbon than the first lubricant.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, KYODO YUSHI CO., LTD.Inventors: Junichi Sudo, Youji Kanehara, Koushi Yamada, Kenichiro Sakurai, Ko Tanimura, Tomonobu Komoriya

Patent number: 5943084Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet which does not suffer from any cockle problem, during printing, associated with a printer or a dye transfer film used. The thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprises a substrate sheet and, provided on at least one surface thereof in the following order, an intermediate layer and a receptive layer, the intermediate layer containing either an acrylic polyol or cellulose acetate butyrate.Further, the present invention provides a thermal transfer image-receiving sheet which has a capability of preventing curling and causes no damage to an image-receiving surface even when image-receiving sheets put on top of each other or one another are used. This thermal transfer image-receiving sheet comprises a back surface layer provided on a substrate sheet in its surface where no image is to be formed, the back surface layer containing an acrylic polyol.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 1998Date of Patent: August 24, 1999Assignee: Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masayasu Yamazaki, Kenichiro Sudo, Satoru Kawai, Takeshi Nozaki
