Abstract: A partition wall member includes a main body portion and a plurality of protrusions. The plurality of protrusions protrude from the main body portion toward at least one battery cell of the plurality of battery cells. Each of the plurality of protrusions has a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion. The first end portion and the second end portion face each other in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The intermediate portion is located between the first end portion and the second end portion. A cooling medium path along the second direction is formed between the plurality of protrusions. When viewed in the second direction, a cross sectional area of the cooling medium path is decreased from the first end portion toward the intermediate portion and is increased from the intermediate portion toward the second end portion.

Abstract: A plurality of battery cells are arranged side by side in a first direction and each have a prismatic shape. A case accommodates the plurality of battery cells, and supports the plurality of battery cells in at least a first direction, and forms a unit including the plurality of battery cells. The case includes a first end portion and a second end portion arranged side by side and facing each other in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The first end portion is provided with a biasing portion that is deformed, when one battery cell of the plurality of battery cells is inserted into the case, to bias the battery cell toward the second end portion of the case. The second end portion is provided with a reference surface to position the battery cell in the second direction.

Abstract: A recording apparatus includes: a carriage on which a liquid ejection head that ejects a liquid is mounted, the carriage being reciprocally movable in a scanning direction; a guide member that extends in the scanning direction and that guides movement of the carriage in the scanning direction; and a sliding member that is provided on the carriage and has a sliding surface that slides with a guide surface of the guide member via a lubricant, in a case where the carriage moves in the scanning direction. The carriage has a projecting portion that projects farther toward one side in the scanning direction than the sliding member. A gap formed between the projecting portion and the guide surface becomes smaller toward the sliding member in the scanning direction.

Abstract: An emotion estimating device, an emotion estimating system, and an emotion estimating method capable of estimating an emotion of a subject based on information obtained from daily activities can be provided. An emotion estimating device includes an interface that receives input of walking data of a subject measured by a measurement device and emotion data obtained by quantifying the emotion of the subject, a storage that stores the walking data and the emotion data, and an computer that obtains corresponding data in which a plurality of walking parameters included in the walking data stored in the storage are associated with the emotion data. When the interface newly receives the input of the walking data, the computer estimates the emotion of the subject from the plurality of walking parameters included in the newly received walking data, and outputs information indicating the estimated emotion of the subject.

Abstract: To provide a filtering apparatus and a filtering method, in which dewater performance is improved while downsizing of the apparatus is achieved. The filtering apparatus includes a cylindrical or conical inner screen 1 and an outer screen 2 which are concentrically disposed and a spiral fixed wall 3 which is disposed in a filtering room 4 between the inner screen 1 and the outer screen 2. Only the inner screen 1 and/or the outer screen 2 are/is rotated about a shaft center while the spiral fixed wall 3 is not rotated. During this manipulation process, a treated feed is fed into the filtering room 4 from one end of the filtering room 4, thus treated liquid is filtered through the inner screen 1, and is filtered through the outer screen 2, so that each filtrate is discharged to the outside, and a cake is discharged from the other end of the filtering room 4.

Abstract: A power feed system for a vehicle provided with a plurality of nodes (4a, 4b, 4c) provided with a load control portion (9) for controlling an electric load disposed at each portion of a vehicle, respectively, a power line (1) for supplying power to each node, and a multiplex transmission line (2) connecting each node to each other, comprising an abnormal current detection portion (5) disposed in a line for receiving power feed from the power line at each node for detecting abnormality of a load current, a detection signal generation portion (10) that starts to receive power when abnormality is detected at the abnormal current detection portion and sends a weak current as an output signal, a diagnostic signal line (3) in common to each node, connected to the detection signal generation portion for transmitting the signal from the detection signal generation portion, and a switching portion (6) for switching the power feed from the power line to the load control portion or the detection signal generation portio

Abstract: An electric connecting apparatus provides electrical connection of two electric components by fitting a plurality of male terminals into mating female terminals. If the male terminals have different lengths, for example, the male terminals are fitted into the female terminals in an order of a longer one to a shorter one. In this case, the inserting force that is needed for the entire array of male terminals at the time the two electric components are connected together does not reach a peak at one time, but the inserting forces for the individual male terminals reach peaks one after another. This can permit the two electric components to be connected together with a less labor.

Abstract: This invention proposes a control device for an electric source supply, providing a function which prevents battery death of a vehicle. A lamp main relay turns a lamp main relay 3 off in case an ignition switch 1a is off and also when a door state is not changed over time T1 which is predetermined with a timer Tm1, and cuts off an electric source supply to an interior dome lamp 5, door lamps 6a, 6b, 6c of D-seat, P-seat, R-seat in order to prevent battery death. Further, a door/interior dome lamp control part 2c turns the interior dome lamp 5 and the door lamps in response to opened-doors off when doors are not closed more than time T2 which is predetermined with timer means Tm2 in order to prevent battery death. A warning signal may be generated before the control for preventing battery death or during the control mode for preventing battery death.

Abstract: An overhead power transmission line formed by stranding at least one outwardly projecting strand at the outermost layer of an overhead power transmission line formed by a plurality of strands. At least the outwardly projecting portion of the outwardly projecting strand is composed of an organic material. The outwardly projecting strand has a projection height H within a range defined as 1.5 mm≦H≦7.0 mm. By setting the projection height H of the outwardly projecting strand equal to or larger than 1.5 mm, the wind noise characteristic can be conspicuously improved. Further, by setting H≦7.0 mm, the outwardly projecting strand comprised by an organic material is made easily crushable, so the gripping portions of spacers, dampers, and other parts which have been conventionally used can be used as they are.
