  • Publication number: 20230080797
    Abstract: The present disclosure enhances security of a service of storing baggage in a locker loaded in a vehicle. An information processing apparatus of the present disclosure includes a controller configured to, for baggage stored in a locker loaded in a vehicle, make a notification that confirms unlocking of the locker to a user terminal associated with the baggage, with a locked state of the locker being maintained, when a predetermined event related to unlocking of the locker is detected before a first date and time set in advance. The controller decides whether or not to take out the baggage from the locker based on an answer to the notification from the user terminal.

  • Publication number: 20230071124
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a control unit configured to send first information including a first date and time, to a user terminal, at a predetermined timing before the first date and time, the first date and time being a date and time at which baggage deposited in a movable locker is planned to be taken out, the movable locker being mounted on a vehicle, the user terminal being used by a user that has deposited the baggage in the locker. The predetermined timing is a timing that is earlier than the first date and time by a first time length. The control unit sets the first time length such that the first time length is longer as the distance between a first place and the position of the user terminal is longer, the first place being a place at which the baggage is planned to be taken out.

  • Patent number: 10906972
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing an antibody against podocalyxin expressed specifically in cancer cells. The method includes a step of introducing a nucleic acid encoding all or a portion of podocalyxin into cells expressing a cancer cell-specific sugar chain structure to cause cancer cell-specific podocalyxin or a portion thereof to be expressed therein, a step of immunizing a non-human mammal with the cancer cell-specific podocalyxin or portion thereof to obtain antibodies, and a step of purifying the antibodies by primary screening using purified cancer cell-specific podocalyxin or a portion thereof.

  • Patent number: 10193159
    Abstract: A current collector for a secondary battery (1) of the present invention includes a resin layer (2) having electrical conductivity, and an ion barrier layer (3) provided on the surface of the resin layer (2). The ion barrier layer (3) contains ion trapping particles (6) in which metal compounds (5) are provided on the surfaces of metal containing particles (4). The ion trapping particles (6) are continuously provided from an interface (7) between the resin layer (2) and the ion barrier layer (3) toward a surface (3a) of the ion barrier layer (3). Thus, the ion barrier layer (3) prevents from the entry of ions, so that the ion adsorption in the current collector (1) can be decreased.

  • Patent number: 9669720
    Abstract: A V2X system includes an electrical power distribution system configured to draw electrical power from a grid, support the supply of the drawn electrical power to one or more primary electrical systems and support the exchange of electrical power with a battery bank including at least one rechargeable vehicle battery. A controller manages the exchange of electrical power between the electrical power distribution system and the battery bank by identifying a change rate in electrical power drawn by the electrical power distribution system from the grid, selecting an amount of electrical power for the electrical power distribution system to exchange with the battery bank based on the change rate, and signaling for the exchange of the selected amount of electrical power.

  • Patent number: 9490646
    Abstract: In a device for controlling an assembled battery provided with a plurality of single batteries, the device includes a capacity adjustment section for adjusting a capacity such that voltages of the single batteries are equalized at a targeted voltage, an internal state detection section for detecting terminal voltages or SOC of the single batteries and for detecting, based on the detected terminal voltages/SOC, a voltage/SOC difference among the single batteries as voltage-difference/SOC-difference data, and a time-series data storage for storing the voltage-difference/SOC-difference data in time-series. Also provided is a prediction section for more appropriately predicting time when the assembled battery becomes an abnormal state, based on a time-dependent change in the voltage-difference/SOC-difference data detected in a voltage/SOC region different from the targeted voltage by a predetermined voltage, among the stored time-series voltage-difference/SOC-difference data.
