  • Patent number: 8357627
    Abstract: A deodorizing catalyst showing high activity at room temperature, having great adsorption capacity, and possessing activity persistence capable of withstanding continued use; a deodorizing method using the catalyst; and a method for regenerating the catalyst are provided. The deodorizing catalyst is characterized by containing manganese oxide and a Mn—Fe complex oxide at a weight ratio in the range of 98:2 to 60:40. A honeycomb catalyst having the catalyst carried thereon is also disclosed. The deodorizing method is characterized by treating a gas containing odor components with the catalyst. The method for regenerating the catalyst involves heating the catalyst to 140 to 250° C.

  • Patent number: 8312952
    Abstract: A battery positioning structure reliably positions battery modules on a vehicle chassis even when battery modules have different sizes and heights. The battery positioning structure includes a bracket having at opposite ends not only check plates which are configured to be positioned on a body of the electric vehicle but also locks at opposite side edges of the bracket, the bracket being configured to be attached to outer surfaces of the battery modules and to unite the battery modules, and bands configured to extend across the bracket, and linked to the locks at opposite ends of the bracket. The battery modules and the bracket are positioned on the body of the electric vehicle.

  • Patent number: 6740990
    Abstract: A compulsory drive unit (1) for electrical equipment provided in a vehicle is capable of easily and compulsorily driving the electrical equipment (11) in the vehicle to check the operation thereof. The compulsory drive unit (1) brings a power supply unit (30) into contact with a bus bar (21) through a conduction hole (2c) of a junction block (2) to thereby supply the electrical equipment with power from an outside battery (+B) and compulsorily drive the electrical equipment. It is therefore possible to easily check the operation of the electrical equipment, and this significantly improves the operating efficiency.
