  • Publication number: 20250118804
    Abstract: A secondary battery includes a battery case, an electrode group, and nonaqueous electrolyte. An outer diameter R ranges from 3.0 to 6.5 mm. A ratio r/R of an inner diameter r of a hollow in the electrode group to an outer-diameter R ranges from 0.1 to 0.3. The nonaqueous electrolyte includes at least one selected from LiSO3F and LiFSI. In the case that the nonaqueous electrolyte includes LiSO3F, the concentration of LiSO3F is 1.5% by mass or less in a case that the outer-diameter R ranges from 3.0 to 5 mm, and is 1.2% by mass or less I a case that the outer-diameter R is more than 5 mm and is 6.5 mm or less. In the case that the nonaqueous electrolyte includes LiFSI, the concentration of LiFSI is 1.1 mol/L or less in a case that the outer-diameter R ranges from 3.0 to 3.5 mm, and is 1.0 mol/L or less in a case that the outer-diameter R is more than 3.5 mm and is 6.5 mm or less.

  • Patent number: 12078648
    Abstract: Disclosed is a sample measurement device comprising a first processing unit that performs a first measurement on a sample contained in a first container in a first cycle; a second processing unit that performs a second measurement on a sample contained in a second container in a second cycle different from the first cycle; and a relay section which is disposed between the first processing unit and the second processing unit and in which the second container is positioned, wherein the first processing unit performs a transferring operation of transferring the second container to the relay section, and the second processing unit performs a receiving operation of receiving the second container that has been transferred to the relay section from the relay section.

  • Publication number: 20240178905
    Abstract: A relay device that relays a wireless signal received from a base station device to a terminal device performs control so that, when a predetermined signal generated using a first sequence is received from the base station device, the predetermined signal corresponding to a signal generated using a second sequence corresponding to the first sequence and not to be used by the base station device to generate the predetermined signal is relayed to the terminal device.

  • Patent number: 11666920
    Abstract: A method of cleaning an aspiration tube in a specimen measuring apparatus includes: moving the aspiration tube while discharging a cleaning liquid onto an outer side surface of the aspiration tube; stopping the aspiration tube in a state where a tip of the aspiration tube or a droplet attached to the tip contacts a surface of a flow of the cleaning liquid; and moving the stopped aspiration tube in a direction away from the surface of the flow of the cleaning liquid.

  • Patent number: 11400455
    Abstract: A sample measuring system to reduce waste generated in a plurality of measurement units to be discarded to a common disposal unit while suppressing interference between measurement units due to waste disposal is provided. The sample measuring system includes a first measurement unit and a second measurement unit for measuring a sample, and a common disposal unit for storing waste generated from the first measurement unit and the second measurement unit. The first measurement unit includes a first disposal port connected to the disposal unit for discharging the waste generated in the first measurement unit. The second measurement unit includes a second disposal port connected to the disposal unit for discharging the waste generated in the second measurement unit.
