A solid-state imaging device wherein a MOS sensor is employed for a photosensor part, a CTD shift register is employed for a read-out circuit, first and second transfer gates are connected between vertical signal output lines and the CTD, and a reset gate is connected between a juncture of the first and second transfer gates and a reset voltage line. A method is adopted in which signal outputs of a plurality of rows are transferred to the CTD in a horizontal blanking period, and signals of a plurality of rows are simultaneously read out in a horizontal scanning period. At the signal transfer, bias charges are dumped into the vertical signal output lines from the CTD, and mixed charges consisting of the bias charges and signal charges are transferred to the CTD. Thereafter, the signals are read out.

Disclosed is a two-dimensionally arrayed solid-state imaging device for a television camera having a photodiode array arranged at a photo-sensing section and a readout horizontal register constructed by a charge transfer device (CTD) such as a BCD, CCD or BBD. An inverter circuit is provided for each of the vertical signal lines. An input of the inverter circuit is connected to a vertical signal line drain of at least one transfer transistor arranged between the vertical signal line and the CTD, and an output of the inverter circuit is connected to a gate of the transfer transistor. Transfer efficiency is improved by the insertion of the inverter circuit and fixed pattern noise is substantially reduced by supplying bias currents.

Disclosed is a solid-state imaging device wherein optical information of a number of photo-electric conversion elements arranged in a matrix is read into vertical signal lines by a vertical shift register and then the optical information on the vertical signal lines is horizontally scanned by a horizontal register of a charge transfer device. Bias charge storage means and quasi-signal sweep-out drains are disposed between the horizontal register and the vertical signal lines, and a bias charge input means is arranged in the horizontal register. In order to ensure high efficiency in transferring signals between the vertical lines to the storage means, the sweep-out drains and the charge transfer device, it is arranged for bias charges to be provided at each stage of transfer. Thus, bias charges supplied from the storage means are used to transfer charges from the vertical lines to the storage means. Similarly bias charges directly injected from the quasi-signal sweep-out drains are used to sweep out quasi-signals from the storage means to the quasi-signal sweep-out drains. Finally bias charges supplied from the bias charge input means of the charge transfer device are used to read signals from the storage means into the charge transfer device. By virtue of this, the sweep-out efficiency of the quasi-signals from the capacitances which supply the bias charges and a read-out efficiency of the signal charges are enhanced and a high quality of video signal is produced.

A solid-state imaging device comprises an array of picture elements and a horizontal CTD shift register. In a horizontal blanking period, two or more sets of signals from vertical signal output lines coupled to the picture element array are stored in the horizontal CTD shift register. In a horizontal scanning period, the horizontal CTD shift register operates in a 3-phase (or 4-phase) driving fashion to deliver picture image information signal to its output part.

A solid-state imaging device comprises a number of photodiodes arrayed in horizontal rows and vertical columns, a first output circuit for sequentially reading out signal charges from those photodiodes which are arrayed on odd-numbered horizontal rows, a second output circuit for sequentially reading out signal charges from the photodiodes arrayed on the even-numbered horizontal rows, a synchronizing pulse generator for synchronizing operation of the first and second output circuits, a first subtracting circuit for determining the difference between the output signals of the first and second output circuits in odd-numbered field, and a second subtracting circuit for determining the difference between the output signals of the first and second output circuits in even-numbered field. The outputs of the first and second subtracting circuit are alternately extracted in synchronism with the synchronizing pulse produced by the synchronizing pulse generator. The solid-state imaging device is made immune to the smear phenomenon. The invention can be advantageously applied to the solid-state imaging device of CCD type as well as MOS type.

A control method controls the charging and discharging of an electricity storage device. In this control method, the temperature of a reference point inside the electricity storage device is calculated by using the temperature occurring outside the electricity storage device and an expression that expresses movement of heat. An upper-limit electric power that is used in the charging control or the discharging control of the electricity storage device is set to an electric power that corresponds to the calculated temperature of the reference point. The reference point is a grid point that exhibits a temperature that corresponds to, the internal resistance of the electricity storage device, of a plurality of grid points provided inside the electricity storage device.

A rechargeable battery is used with a plurality of battery cells restrained by a restraint member. After the rechargeable battery has the restraint member removed therefrom and is thus disassembled when the rechargeable battery is subsequently re-restrained by the restraint member and thus reused an internal resistance measurement unit measures the rechargeable battery's internal resistance based on battery data detected after the rechargeable battery is re-restrained. At least for the internal voltage, from a value thereof as measured after the battery is re-restrained an evaluation unit evaluates a value of the rechargeable battery that is reused.

A control apparatus controlling charge and discharge of a lithium-ion secondary battery includes a temperature sensor obtaining the temperature of the lithium-ion secondary battery and a controller. The controller controls the charge and discharge of the lithium-ion secondary battery to maintain the temperature obtained by the temperature sensor at a level lower than an upper limit temperature allowed in the lithium-ion secondary battery. The controller estimates the amount of precipitation of lithium in the lithium-ion secondary battery and reduces the upper limit temperature in accordance with an increase in the amount of precipitation.
