Abstract: A battery electrode manufacturing device, which can suppress air from being contained in the active material and improve uniformity of an active material layer formed on a current collector, is provided. The battery electrode manufacturing device comprises: a first chamber whose interior is decompressed below atmospheric pressure; an active material supply unit that supplies a powdery active material onto a current collector, which is arranged in the first chamber; and a compressor that compresses the active material supplied on the current collector, wherein the active material supply unit and the compressor are arranged in the first chamber.

Abstract: A battery module disposed in a battery pack includes a plurality of flat plate batteries that are stacked; a connection member having a connection member main body that has a plate-shape and disposed in parallel with the flat plate batteries in a stacking direction of the flat plate batteries; and insulation members disposed on side surfaces of the connection member main body in the stacking direction of the flat plate batteries. The connection member has two terminals, a first terminal of the two terminals is connected to a terminal of the flat plate batteries, and a second terminal is connected to a terminal of an adjacent battery module.

Abstract: A module includes a first member that is a battery or a gas tank in which pressure fluctuation happens along one axis direction, a pair of second members, the second members being arranged on end portions of the first member in the one axis direction, respectively, and a binding member binding the first member and the second members while pressurizing them. The binding member is formed as fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) containing fiber and resin is revolved. The FRP includes a base fiber layer with a fiber direction along a revolution direction, and a reinforcing fiber layer with a fiber direction different from that of the base fiber layer. The reinforcing fiber layer has a non-overlapping portion between both end portions in a revolved state. The non-overlapping portion is positioned in a region facing the first member.

Abstract: The battery pack production method of the present disclosure comprises the steps of: arranging a first intervening member between a first member and a second member, wherein the first member is a first battery, the first battery has a first battery exterior body and an electrode body arranged in an interior of the first battery exterior body, the second member is a retention member or a second battery, the second battery has a second battery exterior body and an electrode body arranged in an interior of the second battery exterior body; and while one end of the first intervening member is brought into contact with a pressing member, inserting a tapered member between the first intervening member and the second member from an opposite end side of the first intervening member to press the first intervening member toward the first member and exert a restraining pressure on the first member.

Abstract: The pulsed arc welding method supplies a pulsed current to a welding electrode and performs welding while the welding electrode is relatively moved with respect to a workpiece 40. The welding electrode includes a main electrode 13 and a sub electrode 23. The sub electrode 23 is arranged on the back side of the main electrode 13 in the moving direction, the sub electrode 23 is moved along with the main electrode 13 above a molten pool 41 formed by the main electrode 13, and a second pulsed current P2 that is asynchronous with a first pulsed current P1 to be supplied to the main electrode 13 is supplied to the sub electrode 23.

Abstract: A method for the measurement of adenyl group-containing substances which comprises deriving a chemiluminescent substance by allowing a compound to react with adenyl group in a substance to be measured, and qualitatively or quantitatively measuring the substance to be measured using a luminescent intensity obtained from the chemiluminescent substance as a marker.

Abstract: An organic electroluminescent device comprises an anode, a positive-hole transport layer of organic compound, an emitting layer of organic compound, and a cathode which are laminated in sequence, wherein the emitting layer comprises a pyrimidopyrimidine derivative. This device emits with a high luminance and high emission efficiency.
