  • Patent number: 11063298
    Abstract: Provided is a semisolid electrolyte solution to improve a battery capacity of a secondary battery. The semisolid electrolyte solution includes: a solvated electrolyte salt; and an ether-based solvent that constitutes the solvated electrolyte salt and a solvated ion liquid, in which a mixing ratio of the ether-based solvent to the solvated electrolyte salt is larger than 0 and equal to or less than 0.5 in terms of a molar ratio. Desirably, the mixing ratio of the ether-based solvent to the solvated electrolyte salt is 0.2 to 0.5 in terms of the molar ratio. When a low viscosity solvent is provided, a mixing ratio of the low viscosity solvent to the solvated electrolyte salt is 2 to 6 in terms of the molar ratio.

  • Patent number: 8657211
    Abstract: In a second tank unit, a controller controls the on/off switching of a water supply solenoid valve so that water is stored in a sub tank within the level of Lu to Ll. At the same time, the controller controls the on/off switching of a pressurizing solenoid valve and a decompressing solenoid valve so that the air pressure in the upper space in the sub tank is maintained at a target value. As a result, regardless of the water level in the sub tank, the back pressure in the tank is maintained at the target value higher than atmospheric pressure. In this state, when a central controller turns on a water spouting solenoid valve, pressured water rapidly spouts from a nozzle. Moreover, a change in the target values of the back pressure promptly changes the height of the spouting water. Accordingly, water spouting can be promptly started/stopped, and the height or size of the spouting water can be readily and smoothly changed.

  • Patent number: 5742285
    Abstract: A virtual screen processing section sets a virtual screen larger than is allowed by the display performance of the screen of a display section, displays a part of the virtual screen as a real screen on the display section, and controls the position of the real screen as needed in accordance with an operational input made by using the information input section. A window processing section arranges display screens based on the execution of individual applications as application windows on the virtual screen. A list display instructing section instructs the display of a list of application windows. A list display processing section collects window information including application information indicative of running applications and position information of the application windows of the running applications on the virtual screen, application by application, and displays a window information list based on the window information.
