  • Patent number: 9190650
    Abstract: An electrode assembly has a positive sheet, a negative sheet, and separators that are stacked and wounded. A joint portion is formed by thermally fusion bonding or compression bonding of the separators at one end in a width direction thereof so that one end of the positive sheet on an opposite side in a width direction with respect to a positive lead is wrapped by the separators. Arranged outside of the joint portion in the width direction is a separating portion where the separators are separated from each other. A protecting layer made of an insulating material is formed on the end face of the positive sheet. The positive sheet is reliably prevented from being in contact with a foreign material.

  • Patent number: 6684127
    Abstract: A robotic system, robot apparatus, and a control method are presented wherein behaviors suitable for a robot are embodied based on information distributed by a number of information distributing devices. Also, the robotic system, robot apparatus, and a control method are designed based on information distributed by the number of information distributing devices such that a robot is prohibited from embodying corresponding behaviors out of the behaviors the robot could embody, or that prohibition on the robot embodying corresponding behaviors is withdrawn. Furthermore, control data for the robot to generate behaviors can be modified to meet the desires of the robot and/or the user of the robot.
