  • Patent number: 5279910
    Abstract: The improved battery for reversible operation at ambient temperature comprises a negative electrode, a composite positive electrode which is composed of an ion-conductive high-molecular weight compound that has at least one ionic compound dissolved therein and that has a polyether structure and ion conductivity, an electrochemically active material and, optionally, an electron conductive material, and an electrolyte which is made of an ion-conductive high-molecular weight compound that has at least one ionic compound dissolved therein and that has a polyether structure and ion conductivity. The improvement is such that said composite positive electrode and said electrolyte are formed by exposure to an active radiation such as ultraviolet rays or ionizing radiation. Thanks to the improvement in electrolyte and positive electrode, the battery can be fabricated with great ease, is entirely free from the possibility of electrolyte leakage and has high long-term reliability and safety.

  • Patent number: 5240791
    Abstract: A primary invention is a solid polymer electrolyte including an ionic salt and a compound able to dissolve the ionic salt and having a crosslink network structure. A crosslink network structure is formed by polymerizing a two-functional acryloyl compound having two acryloyl groups with a one-functional acryloyl compound having one acryloyl group. In this solid polymer electrolyte, the crosslink network structure has a skeleton in which the one-functional acryloyl compound spreads into branches. Since molecular movement of this branched skeleton is active, its flexibility is improved.

  • Patent number: 4926544
    Abstract: In order to simplify production line layout and revision, a plurality of unmanned self-propelled vehicles are used. Some vehicles carry a work piece from station to station while auxiliary vehicles which remain at each station carry components and assembly robots. Transport vehicle are used to move new components from storage sites to the work place. To facilitate large scale operations a camera can be used to observe the vehicles and compare the movement pattern with a predetermined desired one in order to ascertain appropriate movement.
