  • Publication number: 20230369688
    Abstract: A solid-state battery includes a solid-state battery body and a coating film. The solid-state battery body has an electrolyte layer containing a solid electrolyte, a positive electrode layer formed on a part of a first principal plane of the electrolyte layer, and a negative electrode layer formed on a part of a second principal plane of the electrolyte layer opposite to the first principal plane. The coating film has an insulating property and covers the solid-state battery body so as to expose a first portion of the positive electrode layer and a second portion of the negative electrode layer. The coating film has hardness higher than that of solid electrolytes contained in the solid-state battery body.

  • Publication number: 20220344633
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a solid-state battery includes forming an electrode that includes a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer facing the first electrode layer and that further includes a buried layer interposed between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer so as to surround a contact portion where these electrode layers contact each other. For the buried layer, a solid electrolyte with lower electron conductivity than an electrode active material is used, for example. The buried layer is provided between the edge portion of the first electrode layer and the edge portion of the second electrode layer, so that deformation of the first electrode layer and second electrode layer is prevented in the subsequent lamination and thermocompression bonding and thus the occurrence of a short circuit due to such deformation is prevented in the solid-state battery.

  • Publication number: 20190074985
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus and an information processing method which are capable of reducing consumption of standby power of an HDMI-CEC support device. An AV amplifier which is an HDMI-CEC support device and serves as an HDMI repeater transmits a polling signal to a television receiver which is an HDMI-CEC support device and serves as an HDMI sink based on the premise that it is connected via an HDMI cable at predetermined time intervals, and the AV amplifier is regarded as being connected via the HDMI cable as long as an ACK is received. Then, after the HDMI cable is removed, no ACK is returned to the AV amplifier, the HDMI cable is regarded as being removed accordingly, and thus an operation of a CPU of the AV amplifier is stopped, whereby power saving is achieved. The present disclosure can be applied to an HDMI-CEC support device.

  • Publication number: 20170215779
    Abstract: A biological information acquisition device selects a light emitting unit located above a blood vessel as a measurement light emitting unit, and selects a light receiving unit spaced apart from the measurement light emitting unit by a predetermined distance and located above the blood vessel as a measurement light receiving unit and causes the measurement light receiving unit to acquire a first light receiving result. The device selects a light emitting unit which is not located above the blood vessel as a reference light emitting unit, and selects a light receiving unit spaced apart from the reference light emitting unit by the predetermined distance and not located above the blood vessel as a reference light receiving unit and causes the reference light receiving unit to acquire a second light receiving result.
