The roll includes: an outer cylinder part having a material thickness that is smaller toward a negative side of a y-axis than it is toward a positive side of the y-axis; and a slit separator which is wound around an outer circumferential surface of the outer cylinder part and which has a thickness that is larger toward the negative side of the y-axis than it is toward the positive side of the y-axis.

Abstract: A core (u1, u2) around which a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator is to be wound. A side surface of the core (u1, u2) has a depression (20). This makes it possible, in a case where cores (separator cores) are stored by being stacked while still wet after cleaning, to prevent damage to a core caused by a problem where cores stick together and an core lower in a stack falls when a core higher in the stack is removed.

Abstract: A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator, which includes a porous film containing a polyolefin-based resin as a main component, has a difference of not more than 2.5 between (a) a white index measured on a surface of the porous film which has not been irradiated with ultraviolet light having 255 W/m2 and (b) a white index measured on the surface of the porous film which has been irradiated, for 75 hours, with the ultraviolet light having 255 W/m2.

The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator includes a polyolefin porous film in which a difference between (i) a porosity calculated from a continuous image which is formed so as to extend from a surface to an inside of the polyolefin porous film in a thickness direction and in which a void part and a resin part are shown at respective two gray levels and (ii) a porosity calculated from a thickness, a weight per unit area, and a real density of the polyolefin porous film is 4% to 20%.

Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to check a target object highly accurately and quickly. Each of the electromagnetic wave reception regions includes m pieces of smaller regions which are arranged along a diameter of a circle in a plan view of a circular profile surface.

Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to check a target object highly accurately and quickly. In a sensor having an electromagnetic wave reception region, suitability of portions for capturing an image of a subject which moves fast is heightened as a distance from a center increases in a plan view of a circular profile surface.

Abstract: A wagon (90b) includes a plurality of horizontal support bars (91f). A separator roll (12b) is stocked while the horizontal support bar is inserted into a core of the separator roll (12b) around which core a separator is rolled. This can prevent deformation and roll misalignment of the stocked separator roll.

Abstract: A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery separator that is not easily curled is provided by a laminated body including a porous base material containing a polyolefin-based resin and a porous layer on at least one surface of the porous base material. The difference between the white index of a surface of the porous base material after being irradiated with ultraviolet light with an intensity of 255 W/m2 for 75 hours and the white index of the surface of the porous base material before irradiation is not more than 2.5. The porous layer contains a polyvinylidene fluoride-based resin which contains crystal form ? in an amount of not less than 36 mol % with respect to 100 mol % of a total amount of the crystal form ? and crystal form ? contained in the resin.

Abstract: In the present invention, in laminated separator rolls 12U and 12L, laminated long separator sheets 12a and 12b are wound such that a surface B (which is of an aramid layer (heat-resistant layer) and is opposite to a surface contacting with the porous film) faces an inner side (core u, l side). From this, it is possible to provide the laminated separator roll which can inhibit change in color of the porous layer included in the porous long separator sheet.
