  • Publication number: 20240116392
    Abstract: A server device displays on a user terminal a profile setting screen that allows a user to enter information on the user's needs regarding battery replacement, and in response to the user's entry through the screen, acquires profile information (setting information) on the user's needs. When a specific event occurs (i.e., provision of information on a suitable battery station or an alert of battery replacement necessity), the server device displays on the user terminal a notification screen (station screen or alert screen) for notification of the event, generated based on the profile information.

  • Publication number: 20240087973
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor element, a first lead electrically connected to the semiconductor element, a sealing resin that covers the semiconductor element and a part of the first lead, and a recess formed in a surface flush with a back surface of the sealing resin. The sealing resin also has a front surface opposite to the back surface in a thickness direction, and a side surface connecting the front surface and the back surface to each other. The recess is formed, in part, by a part of the first lead that is exposed from the back surface of the sealing resin. The recess has an outer edge that forms a closed shape, as viewed in the thickness direction, within a region that includes the back surface of the sealing resin and the first lead.

  • Publication number: 20240024907
    Abstract: The objective of this invention is to provide a filter module for coating equipment that can improve the efficiency in removing coating-material mist and preventing the outflow of such coating-material mist to the outside. The filter module of this invention is made of a flammable material and includes an outer box, an eliminator and a baffle plate. Of the outer box, the air A2 containing the coating-material mist flows into the outer box from the outer-box inlet and is discharged from the outer-box outlet. The eliminator is formed by arranging zigzag-shaped eliminator elements in parallel to separate the coating-material mist from the air A2. The baffle plate is formed by arranging baffle-plate elements having an inclined surface for guiding the air A2 in parallel into the inflow-side space S2 of the eliminator, and guides the air A2 that has been introduced from the outer-box inlet to the inflow-side space S2.

  • Patent number: 11090678
    Abstract: An exhaust/drainage mechanism includes an exhaust channel guiding contaminated air discharged from a coating booth with non-attached paint; a drainage channel guiding contaminated water discharged from the booth; a scum receiving inlet included in the drainage channel and into which the floating coating scum floating on the contaminated water flows; and a dual-purpose flow channel used as both the exhaust and drainage channel. The contaminated air flows through an upper part of the dual-purpose flow channel, and the contaminated water flows through a lower part. A wind pressure of the contaminated air generates, in an upper part of the contaminated water, an upper-layer flow flows in a direction or at a velocity different from a direction or a velocity of a flow in a lower part of the contaminated water. A dynamic pressure of the upper-layer flow pushes and moves the floating coating scum to the scum receiving inlet.
