  • Patent number: 11680115
    Abstract: To provide a solid catalyst component for olefin polymerization having a small amount of fine powder. A solid catalyst component for olefin polymerization containing a titanium atom, a magnesium atom, a halogen atom, and an internal electron donor. The solid catalyst component has an absolute difference in binding energy of 73.50 to 75.35 eV between a peak (1) with the binding energy of 457.00 to 459.00 eV and a peak (2) with the binding energy of 532.50 to 534.50 eV. The peak (1) and the peak (2) are within peak components measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the peak (1) is obtained by waveform separation of peaks assigned to the 2p orbitals of the titanium atom, and the peak (2) is obtained by waveform separation of peaks assigned to the is orbital of an oxygen atom.

  • Publication number: 20230158899
    Abstract: The first charging equipment is configured to charge the electric power storage device via contact charging using a charging cable. The second charging equipment is configured to charge the electric power storage device via non-contact charging. The server includes: a determination section that determines a non-contact charging recommendation degree representing a degree of recommendation of the non-contact charging method to the user, based on a characteristic of the user; and a setting section that sets suggested equipment that is charging equipment to be suggested to the user, of the first charging equipment and the second charging equipment. When the non-contact charging recommendation degree is high, the setting section is more likely to set the second charging equipment as the suggested equipment than when the non-contact charging recommendation degree is low.

  • Publication number: 20230022823
    Abstract: A server includes a communication device and a processor. From a user terminal, the communication device acquires a vehicle dispatch request including information indicating a vehicle dispatch location and a destination of a vehicle. When the communication device acquires the vehicle dispatch request, the processor determines a traveling route of the vehicle from a current location of the vehicle to the destination via the vehicle dispatch location in accordance with the vehicle dispatch request. The processor determines a route from the current location to the vehicle dispatch location such that an amount of power storage in a power storage device at the vehicle dispatch location is larger than an amount of electric power with which the vehicle can travel from the vehicle dispatch location to the destination.
