Abstract: A vehicle power supply system includes a power source control device that executes a process of switching a connection state of a driving circuit to the main power source and an auxiliary power source including; a process of switching the connection state so as to transition to a backup state as a voltage decrease of the main power source occurs, and a process of switching the connection state so as to transition to a normal state as the voltage decrease of the main power source is resolved. After a voltage decrease of the main power source occurs, a turning-side control device of a steering control unit sets an output-limited state for a turning-side motor. The output-limited state is canceled upon the power source control device completing switching of the connection state so as to transition.

Abstract: A steering control device configured to control a steering device, the steering device including a steering shaft to which a handle is detachably coupled and a motor configured to generate torque that is given to the steering shaft. The steering control device includes a processing circuit configured to execute a process for controlling driving of the motor. The process for controlling the driving of the motor includes a lock process of driving the motor such that a rotation position of the steering shaft is fixed at a specific position, in a state where the handle has been detached from the steering shaft.

Abstract: Provided are a negative electrode that is for use in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, includes a porous metal body as a current collector, contains a skeleton-forming agent highly infiltrated in the current collector so that it is less likely to suffer from structural degradation and provides improved cycle durability; and a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery including such a negative electrode. The negative electrode for use in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a current collector including a porous metal body; a first negative electrode material disposed in pores of the porous metal body and including a conductive aid, a binder, and a negative electrode active material including a silicon-based material; and a second negative electrode material disposed in pores of the porous metal body and including a skeleton-forming agent including a silicate having a siloxane bond.

Abstract: When a DC power source fails, the following controls are performed. The normal control is resumed when an inverter input voltage recovers before a standby period elapses after a power failure time. A power source relay is turned off when the standby period elapses without recovery of the voltage. The power source relay is turned on again when a power source relay off period has elapsed from a turn-off time. The normal control is resumed when the inverter input voltage recovers at the turn-on time. The normal control is resumed when the inverter input voltage recovers before the power source relay on period elapses from the turn-on time. The power source relay is turned off, and driving of the actuator is stopped, when the power source relay on period passes without recovery of the voltage.

Abstract: A power supply system includes a system control unit, an auxiliary power supply, and an auxiliary-power-supply control unit. The system control unit and the auxiliary-power-supply control unit are configured such that information of at least one control unit of the system control unit and the auxiliary-power-supply control unit is able to be output to another control unit of the system control unit and the auxiliary-power-supply control unit. The at least one control unit is configured to output information indicating that an operation of the at least one control unit is stopped to the other control unit when the at least one control unit stops the operation of the at least one control unit.

Abstract: Inner panels including at least one built-in heat pipe connected in a circumferential direction are provided. In a heat pipe panel including the built-in heat pipe, apparatuses are mounted on the outer side of the plural inner panels connected in the circumferential direction to diffuse generated heat of the apparatuses to the circumferential direction of the inner panels. Webbed panels including a built-in heat pipe horizontally arranged and having heat radiation surfaces are radially arranged at corners of the inner panels as well as a heat pipe is horizontally built in and heat radiation surfaces are arranged also on outer panels facing the inner panels to thermally connect the heat pipes to one another.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the method of treating the salt bath liquid. In the surface treatment of the steel material by the use of the high-temperature salt bath mainly comprising sodium hydroxide and sodium nitrate, the salt ingredients contained in the washings generated are separated to be recovered and the metal salts contained are separated in the form of the insoluble salts. The salts contained in the nitrate radical-containing liquid system are recovered as the free acids again, the alkalies being recovered, and the reagents contained in the overflow from the salt-washing tank being recovered. The anode chamber liquid generated in the recoverying operation of the reagents is returned to the washing tank again to increase the concentration of the salts. The anode chamber liquid is poured into the pickling tank to reduce the oxidizing soluble metal salts contained in the washings by iron within the pickling tank, whereby the oxidizing soluble metal salts are insolubilized.
