  • Publication number: 20240088688
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20240069106
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11060990
    Abstract: A semiconductor measurement device includes an electrode provided in a semiconductor sample, and a probe contactable with the semiconductor sample. A driver moves a contact position of the probe with respect to the semiconductor sample. A power supply applies electric power between the probe and the electrode. A measurement operation portion measures a current flowing via the semiconductor sample between the probe and the electrode as a voltage applied between the probe and the electrode is changed, the measurement operation portion measuring the current flowing for each of plural measurement points of a surface of the semiconductor sample while causing the probe to scan the measurement points, or while sequentially bringing the probe into contact with the measurement points. A display displays a relationship between the voltage and the current measured at each of the measurement points.

  • Patent number: 9475213
    Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a method for reproducing a template. The template includes a transfer surface and a release layer. The transfer surface has a concavoconvex pattern. The release layer includes an inorganic functional group and an organic functional group, both being bonded to the transfer surface. The method for reproducing the template includes the following two steps: removing the organic functional group by oxidizing and decomposing the organic functional group included in the release layer; and removing the inorganic functional group; and forming the release layer by coupling a silane coupling agent with the transfer surface.

  • Publication number: 20120242002
    Abstract: A template includes a transfer surface having an unevenness pattern. The template is configured to form a configuration in a surface of a resin to reflect the unevenness pattern. The resin is formed by filling a photocurable resin liquid into a recess of the unevenness pattern in a state prior to using light to cure the photocurable resin liquid and by using the light to cure the photocurable resin liquid. The template includes a base member and a surface layer. The base member includes a major surface having an unevenness. The surface layer covers the unevenness of the base member, and is used to form the unevenness pattern to reflect a configuration of the unevenness. A contact angle between the surface layer and the photocurable resin liquid in the state prior to using the light to cure the photocurable resin liquid is not more than 30 degrees.
