  • Publication number: 20240111241
    Abstract: Provided is a cleaning member, comprising an elastic member that includes polyurethane, wherein: when tan ? of a test piece sampled from the elastic member is measured in the temperature range of ?20° C. to +60° C., the peak temperature of a peak indicating the maximum value of tan ? is at 15.0° C. or below; the maximum value of tan ? is 0.20 to 0.55; tan ? at a temperature of 55° C. is 0.13 or larger; and where the detected quantity of all ions obtained when the test piece is heated at a rate of temperature increase of 10° C./second to 1000° C. using a direct-sampling mass spectrometer is M1 and the integrated intensity of a peak in a derived ion thermogram that corresponds to a range of m/z values originating in multifunctional isocyanate with at least three isocyanate groups is M2, M2/M1 is at least 0.001.

  • Patent number: 11691515
    Abstract: An on-board charging management apparatus includes a vehicle-side earth line connected with an external-side earth line of an external power unit; a vehicle-side signal line connected with an external-side signal line of the external power unit; and a detection signal line configured to connect the vehicle-side signal line and the vehicle-side earth line. Presence or absence of a disconnection of the external-side earth line and the vehicle-side earth line is determined based on an electric current value or a voltage value of the detection signal line, when the external power unit is in a connected state. As a consequence, the on-board charging management apparatus can detect a disconnection of the earth line at the time of charging an on-board electric storage device.
