Publication number: 20250035512Abstract: A failure diagnosis device for a reduction gear of the present disclosure is a failure diagnosis device (1) for a reduction gear (13) provided to a mechanical apparatus (11) driven by a motor (14) so that the reduction gear slows down rotation power of the motor and transmits the power to an operating part (12) of the mechanical apparatus. The device identifies an acceleration/deceleration period during which operation of the mechanical apparatus accelerates and/or decelerates, and determines whether the reduction gear indicates a sign of failure based on a change in frequency spectrum of motor current with respect to a change in a rotation speed of the motor during the acceleration/deceleration period.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicant: KAWASAKI JUKOGYO KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tetsuya TAGUCHI, Shinji KITAMURA, Makoto KAWAI, Tetsuo KANEDA

Patent number: 8221509Abstract: Sheet-shaped mixture layers are placed on both sides of a current collector to form an electrode (positive electrode) with a layered structure. The electrode with a layered structure and a counter electrode (negative electrode) thereof are wound via a separator, while a positional shift in a winding direction is caused between the current collector and the sheet-shaped mixture layers of the electrode with the layered structure, whereby a winding body is formed. The winding body is placed in a battery case (outer can) to constitute a battery. Particularly, in the electrode with a layered structure, by forming the current collector of a plain-woven wire net, a metal foil, expanded metal, a lath, or punching metal, a battery with satisfactory productivity suitable for an intermediate load can be provided at a low cost.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2009Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Hitachi Maxell Energy, Ltd.Inventors: Ryoko Masuyoshi, Mitsutoshi Watanabe, Tetsuo Kawai, Toshiyuki Edamoto

Patent number: 7384708Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte battery of the present invention includes a non-aqueous electrolyte containing a lithium salt, a cyclic sultone derivative, and an acid anhydride, wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte contains the cyclic sultone derivative in an amount of 0.3 to 3% by mass and the non-aqueous electrolyte contains the acid anhydride in an amount of 0.3 to 3% by mass. Furthermore, the non-aqueous electrolyte battery includes at least one selected from a cyclic sultone derivative and an acid anhydride, and an electrolyte salt. The electrolyte salt contains lithium salt A and lithium salt B. The lithium salt A is at least one selected from LiBF4, LiPF6, LiAsF6, and LiSbF6, and the lithium salt B is a lithium salt other than the lithium salt A. The electrolyte contains the lithium salt A in an amount of 2 mol % or more.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2006Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Hitachi Maxell, Ltd.Inventors: Tetsuo Kawai, Atsushi Yamano, Noriyuki Yabushita, Tadashi Sakata, Hideki Nishihama
