A voltage detector (12) detects the voltage levels of the battery blocks of the battery set (10). A presence of an overdischarged cell is detected when a voltage difference between each of the battery blocks reaches or exceeds a predetermined value (for example, 1V). At this point, a battery ECU (14) sets the SOC value of the battery set (10) at the lower control limit value (for example, 20%). Th...

In a theatrical rigging system, a number of motors can be placed on platforms which can move upon rails to be connected to different theatrical rigging elements. The motors can be randomly attached to operate different overhead hanging devices.

A braking device for increasing the drag coefficient of an associated shell at a desired point while in flight is described. The device comprises: at least two braking vane means which, when released, extend substantially symmetrically into a surrounding airstream while said shell is in flight; retaining means for maintaining said at least two vane means in a retracted first position out of said a...

An image processing apparatus which can effectively use a storage circuit provided together with a logic circuit, perform high speed processing, and reduce the power consumption without causing a decline in the performance, wherein a DRAM for storing image data and a logic circuit are provided together on a semiconductor chip, the DRAM is divided into a plurality of DRAM modules, and the divided p...

The present invention involves 1) efficient non-viral gene transfer into human erythroid progenitors cells and 2) use of a constitutively active human EpoR gene to prolong the lifespan of progenitor cells. CD34+ cells enriched from umbilical cord blood LDMNC are cultured ex vivo at a low density in the absence of supportive stroma for 7 to days in a serum-free defined culture medium with the addit...

A storage battery of the conventional kind for supplying power to electrical devices has a supervising unit for determining the electric capacity. The supervising unit is electrically connected to terminal posts of the battery in order to measure the battery voltage and also measures the battery current. Measurement posts are connected to the end cells of the battery in parallel to the terminal po...
