Abstract: A power storage apparatus including a battery and a control circuit controlling charging/discharging of the battery, wherein the control circuit determines, when a predetermined time period that has elapsed after the charging/discharging of the battery was ended is shorter than a polarization elimination time period extending from a time at which the charging/discharging of the battery was ended to a time at which polarization of the battery was judged to have been eliminated, an estimated open-circuit voltage for the battery after the elimination of the polarization of the battery; determines the difference between a first estimated charge state and a charge state determined by a time at which the estimated open-circuit voltage was estimated; and determines a second estimated charge state by summing the state of charge determined by the time at which the estimated open-circuit voltage was estimated and the product of the difference and the reflection coefficient.

Abstract: A vehicle body rear part structure includes a rear side frame. The rear side frame includes a general part and a slope part. The general part extends substantially horizontally in at least one of an upper surface and a lower surface. The slope part extends so as to slope downward from the general part. A curved part is formed at a boundary between the general part and the slope part. The rear side frame includes two components which are a front side member and a rear side member. The curved part is provided on a joint part between the front side member and the rear side member.

Abstract: A vehicle body rear portion structure includes a rear end panel, a rear side frame, a rear end cross member, a first gusset, and a second gusset. The rear end cross member extends in a vehicle width direction along the rear end panel and is separately disposed above the rear side frame. The first gusset connects the rear side frame to the rear end panel. The second gusset connects the rear side frame to the rear end cross member above the first gusset.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes a rear floor panel, a first rear cross member, a fuel tank and a VSF valve. The rear floor panel includes a first wall and a second wall. The first rear cross member includes a pair of first vertical walls extending in an upward/downward direction, and a first horizontal wall configured to connect lower ends of the pair of first vertical walls. The fuel tank includes a second connecting surface extending along the first horizontal wall. The first horizontal wall includes a pair of horizontal sections and an inclined section. The VSF valve is installed at a position overlapping the inclined section in a forward/rearward direction of a vehicle body.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes a first middle floor unit for a gasoline vehicle and a second middle floor unit for a hybrid vehicle, and the first and second middle floor units are made interchangeable with each other. A front floor unit and a rear floor unit are made shareable by the gasoline vehicle and the hybrid vehicle. That is, the front floor unit and the rear floor unit can be regarded as a platform. Additionally, the second middle floor unit includes a housing, and an IPU is stored in an interior of the housing.

Abstract: A vehicle body rear structure includes a lower cross member joined to the lower surface of a rear floor panel, and an upper cross member joined to the upper surface of the rear floor panel along the lower cross member. The lower cross member forms a closed section together with the rear floor panel, and is connected to front mounting portions on both sides. The upper cross member forms a closed section together with the rear floor panel. A rear flange of the lower cross member and a front flange of the upper cross member are joined to be overlaid via the rear floor panel.

Abstract: An ultrasound diagnostic apparatus includes an ultrasound probe and a display. The apparatus includes a power supply including at least one voltage converting circuit converting input voltage to a predetermined power voltage for output. The voltage converting circuit includes a coil and a switching element performing a switching operation for switching routes of current flowing in the coil in response to a predetermined switching control signal, and the voltage converting circuit outputs the power voltage through the repeated switching operations under supply of the input voltage. The power supply is provided with a plurality of coils, and the coils are disposed such that a leakage magnetic field in a vicinity of an aperture of at least one of the coils is partially negated by a leakage magnetic field from one or more of the other coils.

Abstract: A vehicle body structure includes a pair of side sills, a front floor panel provided between the pair of side sills, a floor tunnel and a cross member extending in a vehicle width direction at a rear end of the floor tunnel. The cross member includes a vertical wall. The vertical wall extends continuously in the vehicle width direction between the pair of side sills, is joined to the rear end of the floor tunnel, and closes an opening of the rear end. A partition portion partitioning an inside of the floor tunnel in the vehicle longitudinal direction and a connecting portion connecting a lower portion of the partition portion and a lower portion of the vertical wall are disposed in the floor tunnel.
