  • Publication number: 20150079425
    Abstract: A bypass switch includes a pair of fixed conductors connected in parallel with a battery cell, a movable conductor disposed in a vertical direction with respect to the pair of fixed conductors, and a thermally actuated device. In the thermally actuated device, a single diode that generates heat by being energized, a metal plate, and solder are stacked and sandwiched between a first and second heat-insulating spacers. When the battery cell malfunctions, the diode is energized and generates heat that is transferred to the solder through the metal plate, causing the solder to melt, and thereby the thermally actuated device to be displaced. Displacement of the thermally actuated device causes the movable conductor to be displaced in the vertical direction with respect to the fixed conductors and inserted between the fixed conductors, electrically connecting the fixed conductors and forming a bypass circuit to short-circuit the malfunctioned battery cell.

  • Patent number: 7918573
    Abstract: An aspect of the present invention provides a compact light guide device and a light guide apparatus having high productivity and an even light emission property. A light guide device is made of a translucent material, and LED is disposed in a notch step portion formed by cutting at least a part of an inner peripheral surface, thereby guiding light from LED to emit the light to the outside. Particularly, in a surface and a backside of a sidewall portion of the notch step portion, the sidewall portion facing a light-emitting portion of the light-emitting element, at least an inward surface constitutes a reflecting surface diffusing the light, and a pair of facing surface adjacent to each other on both sides of the sidewall portion constitutes a light acceptance surface receiving the light reflected from the reflecting surface.

  • Patent number: 7914195
    Abstract: A display device has a light guide plate formed with a display pattern by a plurality of diffusion dots having translucency in a display pattern formed region, a light shielding layer, and a light source. A plurality of the light guide plates are arranged facing each other, and the light shielding layer is sandwiched between the light guide plates. Light from the light source is selectively introduced to one of the light guide plates to display the display pattern of the light guide plate. The light shielding layer has a surface facing an observer's side formed by a low reflectivity material and a surface facing a side opposite to the observer's side formed by a high reflectivity material. A region facing the display pattern of the light guide plate positioned on the side opposite to the observer's side than the light shielding layer is cut out.

    Abstract: A vacuum switch includes a pair of windmill-shaped electrodes within a vacuum tube and including windmill portions and contact portions. Each of the windmill-shaped electrodes is arranged such that a component of a magnetic flux parallel to a contact surface and serving as an arc driving force with respect to a range of 0.5 mm from the contacting surface contacting the contacting portion of a leg portion of an arc has a magnetic flux density equal to or larger than 0.01 tesla with respect to an electric current of 1 kA, at any point on the contacting surface. The ratio of an inner diameter Di of the contact portion to an outer diameter D of the windmill-shaped electrodes is equal to or greater than 0.
