Publication number: 20240097476Abstract: In one embodiment, there is provided a charging method of a battery pack in which a plurality of aqueous battery cells are electrically connected in series. In this charging method, in a case where the battery pack reaches a reference voltage by a constant-current charging at a first charging rate, constant-current charging is performed on the battery pack at the second charging rate lower than the first charging rate and being from 0.01 C or more to 0.05 C or less. Then, this constant-current charging at the second charging rate is continued until a charged electric charge amount from a start timing of the constant-current charging at the second charging rate reaches a reference electric charge amount set from 1% or more to 5% or less of the nominal capacity of the battery pack.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Keigo HOSHINA, Hayato SEKI, Shinsuke MATSUNO, Norio TAKAMI

Patent number: 10532048Abstract: To provide a pharmaceutical, in particular a compound which can be used as a therapeutic agent for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It was found that a tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-one derivative having an amide group at the 4-position or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof has an excellent bombesin 2 (BB2) receptor antagonistic action. It is also found that the tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-one derivative is highly effective on bowel movement disorders. From the above, the tetrahydroisoquinolin-1-one derivative of the present invention is useful as a therapeutic agent for diseases associated with a BB2 receptor, in particular IBS.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2018Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Seldar Pharma Inc.Inventors: Hiroyuki Hisamichi, Itsuro Shimada, Tsukasa Ishihara, Tomofumi Takuwa, Takafumi Shimizu, Noriko Ishikawa, Kyoichi Maeno, Norio Seki
