Abstract: A voltage detection terminal includes a bus bar connecting portion which is connected to a battery electrode and a bus bar by bolt-nut connection, a detector connecting portion connected to voltage detector, and an interconnecting portion interconnecting the bus bar connecting portion and the detector connecting portion. A gap for absorbing a length variation of a battery cell is formed between a plate body and the bus bar connecting portion, and a slanting portion for preventing the interconnecting portion from interference with the bus bar is formed at part of the interconnecting portion.

Abstract: A plate body is disposed on a plurality of arrayed batteries. A first terminal is provided with a first portion which is connected to one of the batteries, and a second portion which is connected to an electronic element. A cover member is attached onto the plate body in a first direction, to provisionally fix the first terminal on the plate body. The first terminal is provided with a tolerance compensator, which connects the first portion and the second portion while compensating a positional difference between the first portion and the second portion in the first direction.

Abstract: An electric connection box is mounted within an engine room of a vehicle. A bus bar and a current sensor are sequentially mounted on a lower cover, and an upper cover is joined to the lower cover to cover the bus bar and the current sensor. The current sensor is molded integrally with the upper cover. With this construction, the current sensor and the bus bar are less liable to be displaced relative to each other, and the number of the component parts, as well as time and labor required for an assembling operation, is reduced.

Abstract: The present invention provides a molded article obtained from an aliphatic polyester resin composition comprising 60 to 99.9 parts by weight of at least one aliphatic polyester (A) and 0.1 to 40 parts by weight of at least one elastic polymer (B), provided that the total amount of the components (A) and (B) is 100 parts by weight, wherein the aliphatic polyester component in the molded article has an enthalpy of crystal fusion ?H determined using a differential scanning calorimeter of 5 J/g or more, the molded article has a continuous phase composed of the aliphatic polyester (A) and dispersed phases composed of the elastic polymer (B), and the distance T between the walls of the dispersed phases is less than 5.0 ?m.

Abstract: A moldable composition, which comprises polyamide incorporated with at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of hydrogenated block copolymer and ethylene-containing polymer, and with a specified modified block copolymer each in a specified ratio and amount, having excellent impact resistance and good balance of properties among stiffness, heat resistance and weld zone strength, as well as good moldability and excellent appearance of molded articles which have utility in a wide field of application including automobile parts, electric appliance parts and electronic parts.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting corrosion of metals comprising applying to a metal surface in an effective concentration a saturated aliphatic triamine of 9 carbon atoms having at each terminal position a primary amino group and being branched in the 4-position of the main chain Such specific triamines include 1,3,6-triaminomethylhexane and 1,2,3-triaminoethylpropane. Addition products and condensation products derived from these organic triamines are also effective. The present anti-corrosive agents show a remarkable rust preventive effect to metals even when used in a small amount and are non-toxic.
