Abstract: A secondary cell electrode includes a mix layer containing an active substance, a conductive agent, and a binder which is swollen by coexistence with an electrolytic solution and thus has a volume thereof increased; and a current collector formed of a conductive metal foil, the mix layer being located right on the current collector. The current collector has, in a surface thereof, a first concaved portion which is opened and a first convexed portion forming a wall of the first concaved portion; at least a part of a side surface of at least either one of the first concaved portion and the first convexed portion includes at least either one of a second concaved portion and a second convexed portion; and a mixture containing at least either one of the binder, the conductive material and the active substance is put into a space in the first concaved portion.

Abstract: An imaging lens that focuses light from a subject on an imaging surface, a lens holder that holds the imaging lens, a holder that holds the lens holder so as to be capable of moving along the optical axis of the imaging lens and capable of rotating in a tilting direction with respect to the optical axis, magnets and coils that independently cause drive forces to act in the direction along the optical axis with respect to the lens holder at at least three locations of the periphery of the lens holder, a Hall element that detects the attitude of the lens holder with respect to the optical axis, and a control apparatus that controls the magnitude and direction of the drive force of each coil in accordance with the detection output of the Hall element. In accordance with the present invention, in the cladding lens unit, it is possible to perform a movement in an optical axis direction of the imaging lens and a tilt movement with respect to the optical axis with a simple constitution.

Abstract: Disclosed is a portable communication terminal having an antenna structure capable of achieving a reduction in specific absorption rate (SAR) without preventing earth current from flowing through a PCB of the terminal. A sleeve antenna is arranged opposite to a speaker mounted to a printed circuit board (PCB) in the body of the terminal. The sleeve antenna includes an antenna element formed on an antenna PCB, and a dielectric sleeve. The sleeve antenna is connected to a transmitting/receiving circuit via a coaxial cable. The dielectric sleeve is mounted to a tip of the coaxial cable. The coaxial cable has an outer conductor connected to the inner peripheral conductor of the dielectric sleeve, and a central conductor connected to the feeding point of the antenna element. In accordance with this configuration, there is no antenna current flowing through the PCB. The PCB also serves as an electromagnetic shield plate. Accordingly, a reduction in SAR is achieved.

Abstract: Disclosed is a portable communication terminal usable at multiple frequencies while being capable of achieving a reduction in specific absorption rate (SAR). The terminal includes two dipole antennas mounted on an antenna printed circuit board (PCB) mounted to a PCB of the terminal and respectively adapted to operate at usable frequencies f1 and f2. A coaxial cable is connected at its end to the dipole antennas, and a cylindrical bazooka type balun (bazooka) for multiple frequencies is fitted around the end of the coaxial cable. The bazooka includes a first dielectric cylinder, a second dielectric cylinder, and a conductor cylinder. The dielectric cylinders are coaxially fitted in the dielectric cylinder. The dielectric cylinders are used for the frequencies f1 and f2 while having electrical lengths corresponding to the frequencies f1 and f2, respectively.
