Abstract: A laminated iron core manufacturing method in a blanking die apparatus having multiple machining stations is provided. The method includes feeding a belt-shaped workpiece progressively in a longitudinal direction in the blanking die apparatus, operating cutting tools provided in the respective machining stations simultaneously to perform predetermined blanking operations on the progressively fed workpiece and finally perform a contour blanking operation on the workpiece so as to form core pieces, and laminating the core pieces within or outside the blanking die apparatus to thereby manufacture a laminated iron core. An auxiliary cutting tool is operated to form a disposal hole by partly blanking a scrap forming area of the workpiece simultaneously with the operations of the cutting tools of the multiple machining stations, to thereby secure a load balance of the blanking die apparatus in the feeding direction.

Abstract: A battery monitoring unit monitors at least one from among: (i) the attachment state of secondary battery pack; (ii) the low state of a battery voltage VBAT; and (iii) the state of whether it is possible or impossible to use the secondary battery. A battery measurement unit measures the battery voltage VBAT, a charge/discharge current IBAT, and a temperature T of the secondary battery pack, and converts the measured values into digital data. A charging circuit is configured to charge the secondary battery pack using DC voltage from an external power supply based on the state information detected by the battery monitoring unit and the information measured by the battery measurement unit. A coulomb counter measures the charge/discharge current IBAT at predetermined time intervals, and integrates the measurement value, thereby calculating the sum total of the charged/discharged amount. The battery management circuit is monolithically integrated on a single semiconductor substrate.
