  • Patent number: 11861638
    Abstract: A server apparatus includes a processor configured to manage identification information of a registered vehicle registered in advance, acquire identification information on a vehicle of a user who wants to replace the batteries from a vehicle key device, acquire fee-related information from the vehicle key device, the fee-rerated information being at least one of a travel distance and a battery usage amount of the vehicle of the user, calculate a usage fee of the batteries based on the fee-related information, determine permission and prohibition to replace a battery, control a lock device which enables taking-out of the batteries accommodated in the battery stand, determine the permission and prohibition to replace the batteries based on the identification information acquired from the vehicle key device and the identification information, and unlock the lock device when it is determined to permit replacing the batteries.

  • Publication number: 20230099472
    Abstract: A moving object includes: a first battery module and a second battery module, each of which includes a plurality of battery cells laminated in a first direction; a battery case configured to house the first and the second battery modules; a charger configured to charge the first and the second battery modules; a load; and a battery controller configured to control the first and the second battery modules. The first and the second battery modules are arranged in the first direction. The first and the second battery modules are electrically connected in parallel to the charger and the load. When one of the first and the second battery modules is being charged, the battery controller prohibits charge of the other of the first and the second battery modules.

  • Patent number: 7595540
    Abstract: A semiconductor device including a package (2) having a plurality of wall portions (9a) and a plurality of conductor portions (4), a semiconductor element such as a solid-state image pickup device (1) mounted in an internal space of the base, thin metal wires (5) electrically connecting the semiconductor element and the conductor portions (4) between the wall portions (9a), a resin sealing material (7) implanted in the spaces between the wall portions (9a), and a closing member such as a cover glass (6). The region for connecting the thin metal wires (5) and the wall portion (9a) region overlap each other, so that the device can be reduced in size and in height. The cover glass (6) can not move easily from the correct position because the wall portions (9a) serve as supporting columns, thereby improving the yield.
