Abstract: An inertial sensor includes a dual atom interferometer. A moving standing light wave generation device in the dual atom interferometer generates M (3?M) moving standing light waves. Each of the M moving standing light waves is generated by a pair of counter-propagating laser beams. The moving standing light wave generation device adjusts two-photon detuning of a pair of counter-propagating laser beams corresponding to each of N (2?N<M) moving standing light waves out of the M moving standing light waves such that the difference between an interferometric phase corresponding to one atomic beam obtained by interfering with the M moving standing light waves and an interferometric phase corresponding to the other atomic beam obtained by interfering with the M moving standing light waves stays constant.

Abstract: An atomic beam is quantum-mechanically collimated. The atomic beam is irradiated with a pumping laser beam and a filtering laser beam in this order. The pumping laser beam has a wavelength corresponding to a transition between a ground state and an excited state of atoms in the atomic beam. Irradiation with the pumping laser beam causes atoms to make transition from the ground state to the excited state and further relax from the excited state to a metastable state. The filtering laser beam has a wavelength corresponding to a transition between the ground state and the metastable state. By irradiating the filtering laser beam, atoms in the metastable state having velocity components equal to or smaller than a predetermined velocity component ?v in a traveling direction of the filtering laser beam are caused to make transition to the ground state.

A CT value calculation unit calculates the CT value during operation using at least one of an upper-limit-SOC-based correction coefficient (KHSOC) calculated based on the upper limit SOC, which is an SOC having the largest value when the lead-acid battery is charged, or an upper-limit-voltage-based correction coefficient (KHV) calculated based on the upper limit voltage, which is the highest voltage when the lead-acid battery is charged.

Abstract: Described are a lead-acid battery system and a lead-acid battery life estimation method capable of accurately estimating a remaining life of a lead-acid battery by calculating a capacity turnover value during operation in consideration of the number of equalization charges of the lead-acid battery or an overcharge rate integrated value of the equalization charge of the lead-acid battery. The lead-acid battery system estimates the remaining life of the lead-acid battery by comparing a capacity turnover value from the beginning of life to the end of life with the capacity turnover value during operation. A capacity turnover value calculation unit in the lead-acid battery system calculates the capacity turnover value during operation by using an equalization-charge-number-based correction coefficient KCN calculated based on the number of equalization charges or a charge-rate-based correction coefficient KCP calculated based on the overcharge rate integrated value of the equalization charge.

Abstract: Described are a lead-acid battery system and a lead-acid battery life estimation method capable of accurately estimating a remaining life of a lead-acid battery by calculating a capacity turnover value during operation in consideration of a magnitude of a depth of discharge (DOD). The lead-acid battery system estimates the remaining life by comparing a capacity turnover value from the beginning to the end of life with the capacity turnover value during operation.

The capacity turnover value calculation unit calculates the capacity turnover value during operation using a DOD-based correction coefficient calculated based on the DOD, which is calculated by dividing an integrated discharge capacity after the start of the discharge of the lead-acid battery by a rated capacity of the lead-acid battery.
