Abstract: A method for manufacturing a secondary battery herein disclosed includes: an assembly preparing step of accommodating an electrode body and an electrolyte into a battery case, and preparing a battery assembly; and a high temperature treatment step of restraining the battery assembly under a restraining pressure of at least 0.35 MPa or more, and retaining the battery assembly so that the temperature of the battery assembly may become at least 80° C. or more. Herein, the high temperature treatment step is carried out so as to satisfy a formula (1): A?B>C; where A (N/m) represents a peel strength at an interface between a separator and a negative electrode active material layer, B (N/m) represents a peel strength at an interface between the negative electrode active material layer and a negative electrode current collector, and C (N/m) represents a peel strength in the negative electrode active material layer.

Abstract: An alighting assistance device D of the present disclosure may be a device moving a driver seat rearward in a case where a determination may be made that an occupant seated on the driver seat of a vehicle alights. The device may include a height changer which changes a height of a steering wheel, a sitting height acquirer which acquires a sitting height of the occupant, and a steering wheel controller 33 as one example of a height controller which controls the height changer such that the height of the steering wheel becomes lower as the sitting height acquired by the sitting height acquirer may be higher in the case where a determination is made that the occupant alights.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a communication amount predictor. The communication amount predictor acquires relation data in which a variation of a communication amount in a first environment including first devices of a plurality of function types is associated with a varied number of the first devices for each of the plurality of function types in a case where a number of first devices for each of the plurality of function types varies in the first environment. The communication amount predictor predicts a communication amount in a second environment including second devices of the plurality of function types on a basis of the relation data and a number of the second devices for each of the plurality of function types in the second environment.

Abstract: A method for producing a power storage device includes: compressively deforming in which case long-side walls of the power storage device after initial charging and aging but before permanent sealing are pressed toward an electrode body to compress the electrode body and further plastically deform at least one of the case long-side walls so that the case long-side walls continue to press the electrode body even after the pressing is released; after this compressively deforming, hermetically permanently sealing the case of the power storage device in which the inside of the case is in communication with the outside; and releasing the pressing applied in the compressively deforming.

Abstract: An electrode body includes an overlapping part where a negative electrode sheet and a separator overlap each other in a thickness direction. The overlapping part includes an inside part located more inside than a peripheral part of the overlapping part when the overlapping part is seen in plan view in the thickness direction. The inside part satisfies the relationship, A>C and B>C, wherein A denotes interlayer separation strength between the separator and a negative electrode mixture layer, B denotes interlayer separation strength between the negative electrode mixture layer and a negative current collector foil, and C denotes intralayer separation strength of the negative electrode mixture layer.
