Publication number: 20240088688Abstract: A storage battery management device according to one embodiment includes a hardware processor that causes a display device to display first remaining life information and second remaining life information. The first remaining life information indicates current remaining life of a storage battery system. The first remaining life information is calculated on the basis of a state of health (SOH) of each of multiple storage battery modules constituting the storage battery system. The second remaining life information indicates remaining life of the storage battery system and corresponds to a case where one or more of the multiple storage battery modules are replaced with one or more other storage battery modules. The second remaining life information is calculated on the basis of an SOH of each storage battery module not being replaced and an SOH of each of the one or more other storage battery modules.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2021Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicants: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA ENERGY SYSTEMS & SOLUTIONS CORPORATIONInventors: Makoto IDE, Mami MIZUTANI, Yukitaka MONDEN, Masako KIUCHI, Takenori KOBAYASHI, Takahiro KASE, Kenji MITSUMOTO, Yoshihisa SUMIDA

Publication number: 20240069106Abstract: A storage battery management device includes an acquisition unit, a selection unit, an estimation unit, and a display control unit. The acquisition unit acquires a battery characteristic and an operation condition of a storage battery device. The selection unit selects data values from a data value group of a data item in which variation in data value is caused out of data items included in the battery characteristic and the acquired operation condition. The estimation unit estimates, for each of the selected data values, a battery characteristic after operation corresponding to a case where the storage battery device is operated under the operation condition. The battery characteristic is estimated on the basis of the battery characteristic and the operation condition acquired by the acquisition unit. The display control unit displays the battery characteristic estimated by the estimation unit in a comparable state.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2021Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicants: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA ENERGY SYSTEMS & SOLUTIONS CORPORATIONInventors: Yukitaka MONDEN, Makoto IDE, Masako KIUCHI, Mami MIZUTANI, Kenji MITSUMOTO, Takahiro KASE, Takenori KOBAYASHI, Yoshihisa SUMIDA

Patent number: 6707253Abstract: The present invention provides a matching circuit which has a wide range in which matching can be achieved and the matched state of which is stabilized with respect to a change in the load state. To an input terminal (31) of a matching circuit (30), one terminal of a first variable reactance element (32) is connected. The other terminal of the first variable reactance element (32) is connected to a point between a first fixed reactance element (33a) and a second fixed reactance element (33b), which are connected in series. The first fixed reactance element (33a) is grounded, and the second fixed reactance element (33b) is connected to one terminal of a second variable reactance element (36) and connected to one terminal of a stripline (37). The other terminal of the second variable reactance element (36) is grounded, and the other terminal of the stripline (37) is connected to an output terminal (38).Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2002Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Sumida, Tomohiro Okumura, Yukihiro Maegawa, Ichiro Nakayama, Kibatsu Shinohara, Minoru Kanda, Shiniti Matamura

Patent number: 5709922Abstract: A transparent article made of a resin and having on its surface the fine unevenness formed by direct transfer of ultrafine particles. An unevenness transfer substrate having the ultrafine particles deposited thereon as a monolayer by using a binder, with a water/oil repellent film formed on the ultrafine particle layer, is placed in a mold, then a sufficiently deaerated fluid plastic resin is cast into the mold and heated to cause curing, then the mold is removed, and the unevenness transfer substrate and the cured resin are separated from each other. Consequently, the fine unevenness formed by the ultrafine particles is transferred to the resin surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1994Date of Patent: January 20, 1998Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Washi Kosan Company,Ltd.Inventors: Masahiko Ono, Yoshishige Endo, Kazunori Kagei, Kenji Sumida

Patent number: 5675993Abstract: A patterning method and device has yarn guides for guiding pattern yarns in a warp knitting machine and divisional fall plates for knitting pattern yarns in a fall plate structure individually drive-controlled through drive devices. The device comprises any number of moveable bodies having yarn guides, the bodies being installed for movement along a row of knitting needles by the drive devices. For patterning, the moveable bodies are moved through a desired distance along the row of knitting needles so as to be positioned for patterning, thereby providing a patterning zone for pattern yarns corresponding to the number of yarn guides. Thus, it is possible to effect a free varigated patterning which is comparable with the patterning effect provided by the Jacquard control.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1995Date of Patent: October 14, 1997Assignee: Nippon Mayer Co. Ltd.Inventors: Kotaro Ono, Yoshinori Otobe, Yoshitsugu Kobayashi, Shigeo Yamagata, Norimasa Nosaka, Kenji Sumida
