  • Patent number: 12119468
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a solid-state battery includes a battery element including alternating positive electrode layers and negative electrode layers each separated by a respective solid electrolyte layer interposed in between; a positive electrode terminal that is attached to the battery element to be electrically connected to the positive electrode layers and electrically separated from the negative electrode layers; a negative electrode terminal that is attached to the battery element to be electrically connected to the negative electrode layers and electrically separated from the positive electrode layers; an insulating coating that covers the battery element, wherein a respective portion of each of the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal lead out of the covered battery element; and a heat receiving member that is attached to the insulating coating so as to be electrically separated from both the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal.

  • Patent number: 11022056
    Abstract: A vehicle control device is capable of securing engine output torque even in a case where a switching operation is performed between a first shift position and a second shift position, both of which are in an in-gear state. The vehicle control device is capable of performing a mutual switching operation between the first shift position and the second shift position, at both of which a power transmission system is in the in-gear state, and includes: a shift-position detecting section that detects a selected shift position; and a torque reserve control section that executes torque reserve control to increase output torque of an engine when a shift switching operation is performed between the first shift position and the second shift position.
