Abstract: According to one embodiment, a battery includes a battery group, a case, a metal plate, an insulator and an electrical connection path. The battery group includes a plurality of batteries, and each of the batteries includes an electrode group and a metal exterior container made in which the electrode group is housed. The metal plate is provided between the battery group and the base and forms a clearance between the metal plate and the base. The insulator has plasticity and an electrical insulating property, and is sandwiched between the battery group and the metal plate. The insulator electrically insulates between the exterior container of each of the batteries and the metal plate. The electrical connection path electrically connects the metal plate to the base.

Abstract: A wounded core Scott transformer configured so that opposed core legs of wounded cores corresponding to core legs mounted in a main coil and a teaser coil are arranged on the inside between the respective coils so as to be supported.

Abstract: The present invention provides a heat-developable photosensitive material having a substrate, an undercoat layer and photosensitive layer containing silver behenate in this order, wherein an adhesive roll having an adhesive force of at least 35 hPa is brought into contact with one face or both faces of the photosensitive material before the photosensitive layer is formed, and a method of producing the same.

Abstract: A supporting material is provided which has excellent antistatic ability and has a high film membrane strength, and in which peeling-off of a layer in a manufacturing process or at the time of handling (coating or conveying) is prevented and white-powder contamination and adhesion of foreign matters caused by falling of an antistatic agent and also failure of liquid film repellency caused by the white-powder contamination and adhesion of foreign matters are prevented. This supporting material also has excellent transparency and high scratch resistance. The supporting material has, on one surface of a substrate, an antistatic layer and a protective layer formed in the order given. The antistatic layer comprises acicular metal oxide grains, and the protective layer comprises an epoxy cross-linking agent and a sulfuric ester based surface active agent represented by CnH2n+1OSO3Na, wherein n represents an integer of 12 to 18.
