Recently the FAA approved the proposed solution and Vehicles presented by Boeing, and is expected that before July these aircrafts to Toyota partners with Yamato fly again. However, Airbus had announced earlier that will not use these Transport and Hino Motors batteries on its new model the A350. Despite this, the outlook for the battery industry for this year is interesting. According to the latest signumbox Subaru shapes its new generation of vehicles estimates, which will be presented in the next edition of the Analysis report, the use of lithium in batteries for electronic devices would grow Boeing improves 787 Dreamliner lithium-ion battery 10% this year, mainly because of the increase in the use of smartphones and tablets. The use of lithium in batteries for hybrid and electric cars is expected to grow at about 40 – 50% allowing total lithium demand to grow around 6 – 7% in 2013. The next edition of the signumBOX Analysis report is going to be released on late April. For more information about our reports we invite you to visit our website www.signumbox.com.

    GS Yuasa Battery to Launch ECO.R ENJ Series, Compatible with Toyota Motor’S New Hybrid Models

    News Release Jun 7, 2016 GS Yuasa Corporation GS Yuasa Battery to Launch ECO.R ENJ Series, Compatible with Toyota Motor’s New Hybrid Models GS Yuasa Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 6674; “GS Yuasa”) announced that GS Yuasa Battery Ltd. (president: Fumiaki Sakamoto; headquarters: Sumida-ku Tokyo; “GS Yuasa Battery”), a GS Yuasa Group company that sells replacement batteries, will start selling ECO.R ENJ series batteries, optimal as replacement batteries for the EN Standard*¹ lead-acid auxiliary battery mounted in the latest hybrid models of Toyota Motor Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 7203; “Toyota Motor”), in late June. The EN Standard compliant lead-acid storage battery developed by GS Yuasa is made to Japanese standards and is adapted to the Japanese climate and natural features and satisfies JIS safety standards. The company’s EN Standard lead-acid auxiliary batteries are used in ALPHARD HV and VELLFIRE HV as well as Sienta HV and the new PRIUS launched in 2015. GS Yuasa Battery will introduce the newly launched ECO.R ENJ series exclusively for Toyota’s hybrid models, as lead-acid auxiliary batteries incorporating the same technology, in the replacement battery market in anticipation of the increase in demand for such batteries. GS Yuasa will continue to leverage its technological strength to respond to the expectations and demands for automotive lead-acid storage batteries, which is changing with the times. *1 Abbreviation of European Norm. Set for Europe’s cold weather. Since there is more focus on the relative merits of Cold Cranking Ampere (CCA)*² in the performance of lead-acid batteries, there is a need to optimize it for use in Japan.

By contrast, battery could be installed at any place. (Source) IEEJ (end of 2011) Focusing on battery R&D 3 2. Energy Policy in Japan Basic Energy Plan The previous Basic Energy Plan compiled in 2010 called for a boost in nuclear power to about half of Japan’s electricity needs by 2030 from about one-third. After change of administration from LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) to DPJ (Democratic Party of Japan) and Great East Japan Earthquake on March 2011, energy policy in Japan have been moving to “zero-nuclear”.. After change of administration from DPJ to LDP again, based on the discussion in the committee, the Japanese government made a draft of the new Basic Energy Plan on 25th February 2014. • A mix of nuclear, renewables and fossil fuel will be the most reliable and stable source of electricity to meet Japan’s energy needs.

    How Many Valves Per Cylinder (Revised) – 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Or 8? with Illustrations and a P.S

    DST 20 February 2015. P.1 of 13 How many valves per cylinder (revised) – 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 8? With illustrations and a P.S. on 6 Since 1993 all Formula 1 engine designers have chosen 4 poppet valves per cylinder (2 inlet, 2 exhaust). In 2006 this layout was actually specified in the FIA regulations and the new 2014 rules continue it. Keith Duckworth, who created in 1966 a cylinder head having 4 valves per cylinder (4 v/c) opposed at a relatively narrow angle and combined them with port geometry and increased valve Lift/Diameter ratio to create in-cylinder “Barrel Turbulence” (aka “Tumble Swirl”) to raise combustion efficiency, set a benchmark to which, in time, all competitors conformed and which spread far outside the racing arena. In most of the past century this unanimity on 4 v/c did not exist. Racing 4-stroke piston engines were built with 2, 3, 4, 5, and 8 poppet valves per cylinder. This article follows the title subject generally from the series of 85 “Grand Prix Cars-of-the-Year”, 1906 – 2000, listed in this web site . Specifically this admits only 2, 3, and 4 valves per cylinder so, for general interest, substantial diversions have been included to other racing engines with a wider variety of arrangements In future references to “valve gear” it is to be understood that it refers to poppet valves opened by cams, directly or indirectly, and closed by steel springs forcing them to ride on the cam, unless otherwise mentioned (Desmodromic gear in Mercedes 1954-1955 (DVRS) and Pneumatic Valve Return Systems (PVRS) post-1990).
