Abstract: Provided is an ejection cap capable of smoothly and reliably breaking through a film closing a mouth part of a container body and ejecting a content inside a container. An ejection cap (1) comprising an asymmetric cutter (6) that hangs from a lower surface of a top plate part of a substantially cylindrical dispensing cylinder (4) threadedly engaging a mouth part (3a) of a container body (3) closed by a film (2) and penetrating the film to eject a content, and that has a notch part (7) at a lateral surface on a side opposite to a threadedly engaging rotating direction on a substantially circumference at the tip of the dispensing cylinder.

Abstract: A thickened composition for a cosmetic product including a content that is taken through a mesh contains a fine particulate powder and a silicone crosspolymer having a structure where dimethicone is cross-linked with an organic group, and has a storage modulus G??3000 Pa, as measured with a rheometer under the conditions of a gap of 0.5 mm, a strain oscillation angle of 0.1%, a frequency of 1 Hz, and a temperature of 25° C. while increasing stress applied with a 25 mm ? cone plate, and a loss tangent tan ??0.2, as calculated as a loss modulus G? measured under the same conditions divided by the storage modulus G?. A cosmetic product includes a container including an inner lid with a tight mesh and an outer lid for tightly closing a container body, and the thickened composition contained in the container body under the inner lid.

Abstract: Voltage monitoring units are connected in parallel to each of battery modules constituting a battery pack, and they measure the voltages; photocouplers which receive outputs of the units as the primary inputs generate secondary outputs which are electrically insulated from the primary inputs; and the secondary outputs are transmitted to an external control apparatus.

Abstract: A condition managing system for a storage battery which is used as a drive power source for a movable body such as an electric car and which is formed by a number of sealed nickel/hydrogen storage batteries, comprises a battery pack 1, a detection unit 2 for detecting the condition of a battery pack, a battery condition judging unit 3, a movable body signal control part 4, a battery charger 5 for charging up the battery pack 1 under the control of a signal which is supplied from the battery condition judging unit 3, and a display part 6 for displaying the condition of the battery.

Abstract: In a method of detecting deterioration of a battery pack consisting of a series assembly of a plurality of battery modules during charging, on the basis of a voltage difference between a plurality of battery modules, deterioration detection is inhibited until a predetermined capacity is charged after starting of the charge. Also, in a detection apparatus for deterioration in a battery pack according to the present invention, a deterioration reference discharge voltage value which should correspond to a discharge current value and a temperature value is calculated on the basis of reference data, and the deterioration reference discharge voltage value is compared with an actual discharge voltage value to judge whether deterioration occurs or not.

Abstract: A battery pack is charged while being cooled by passing forced air therethrough. During charging, battery temperature and air temperature of air exhausted from the battery modules by the forced air cooling process are measured, and the difference between the battery temperature and the air temperature is calculated. The difference is added to an amount of change of the battery temperature per unit time to obtain a rate of change of battery temperature. When the rate of change exceeds a predetermined value, charging of the battery pack is controlled. In this manner, the battery temperature rise is correctly detected so that the battery pack can be fully charged without being damaged.
