Abstract: A battery includes: an electrode layer; a counter electrode layer, which is a counter electrode for the electrode layer; a solid electrolyte layer between the electrode layer and the counter electrode layer; and an electrode current collector electrically coupled to the electrode layer. The solid electrolyte layer includes a first region containing a first solid electrolyte material and a second region containing a second solid electrolyte material. The first region is positioned within a region where the electrode layer and the counter electrode layer face each other. Moreover, a second density, which is of the second solid electrolyte material in the second region, is higher than a first density, which is of the first solid electrolyte material in the first region.

Abstract: A battery includes: a power generation element including battery cells each of which includes an electrode layer, a counter-electrode layer, and a solid electrolyte layer located between the electrode layer and the counter-electrode layer, and which are electrically connected in parallel and stacked; an insulating member covering an electrode layer at a side surface of the power generation element; and a terminal electrode covering the side surface and the insulating member, and electrically connected to a counter-electrode layer, in which the power generation element includes: a first parallel unit that includes first battery cells and has both ends in a stacking direction at each of which a counter-electrode layer is located; and a second parallel unit that includes second battery cells, has both ends in the stacking direction at each of which an electrode layers is located, and is stacked on the first parallel unit.

Abstract: A measurement system 50 measures a grade of an excavated material generated from an underground tunnel including a plurality of mining points. The underground tunnel is constructed based on a mining plan of a mine planned based on primary grade data and primary position data corresponding to the primary grade data measured in a preliminary geological survey. The measurement system includes a measuring unit (grade measuring unit) 61 that measures the grade of the excavated material generated from the underground tunnel, a secondary grade data acquisition unit (grade data acquisition unit) 72 that acquires secondary grade data indicating the grade of the excavated material from the measuring unit 61, and a secondary position data acquisition unit (position data acquisition unit) 73 that acquires secondary position data corresponding to the secondary grade data.

Abstract: A tunnel boring machine includes: a disc cutter including a cutter ring; and a member for use in measurement of a wear amount of the cutter ring with a three-dimensional shape measurement device, in which the member is provided at a part constant in relative position to the cutter ring.

Abstract: Provided is a tunnel boring machine that can detect a wear condition of a disc cutter with a highly reliable configuration. The tunnel boring machine includes a measurement device. The measurement device is disposed behind the disc cutter mounted on a cutter head. The measurement device has a function as an acquisition unit that acquires cutting edge position data indicating a position of a cutting edge part of a cutter ring in the disc cutter. The tunnel boring machine further includes a DC discrimination unit that discriminates which one of a plurality of disc cutters is the disc cutter the cutting edge position data of which is acquired by the measurement device and a wear amount calculator that calculates a wear amount of the cutting edge part of the discriminated disc cutter.
