Patent number: 10680448Abstract: A voltage detection circuit detects the voltage of a plurality of serially connected cells in a power storage unit. The voltage detection circuit receives a supply of a power supply voltage from both ends of the plurality of cells. A DC-DC converter converts the voltage between both ends of the plurality of cells into another DC voltage. An adjustment circuit adjusts the power consumption of the plurality of cells. The adjustment circuit operates using the DC voltage generated by the DC-DC converter as the power supply voltage.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2016Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: SANYO Electric Co., Ltd.Inventors: Junya Yano, Tomoyuki Matsubara, Hidetsugu Mukae, Jun Asakura

Patent number: 10590598Abstract: A heat-insulating protective member for skid posts contains a needled blanket of inorganic fibers. At least some of the needled blanket has, disposed therein, an impregnation part where an oxide-precursor-containing liquid is adherent in an undried state. The impregnation part has a water content of 50-400 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the inorganic fibers of the impregnation part. The water content of the heat-insulating protective member is 50-400 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the inorganic fibers of the heat-insulating protective member.
