Seiichi Hatakenaka has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11296383
    Abstract: The present invention provides a secondary battery in which effective utilization of the installation space for a pressure sensitive sensor and a heater is more sufficiently achieved and high rate deterioration and electrolytic solution deterioration can be more sufficiently detected. The present invention relates to a secondary battery including: one or more battery cells; a case for housing the battery cells; and a heater provided between a battery cell in contact with the case and the case and/or between two battery cells adjacent to each other among the battery cells, in which the heater serves as a pressure sensitive sensor that detects a pressure distribution between the battery cell in contact with the case and the case and/or between the two battery cells adjacent to each other.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9287849
    Abstract: A reflector of the elastic wave resonator in an elastic wave device has first and second regions. The second region has third and fourth regions. The first region is located near to the IDTs of the reflector, while the second region is located farther from them. The third region is located nearer to the IDTs in the second region, while the fourth region is located farther from them. As a result that the center frequency of the reflection band in the fourth region is lower than that in the third region, an elastic wave device with low energy loss and insertion loss is provided.
