Abstract: A battery provided in a vehicle and configured to supply electric power is cooled down by coolant the heat of which is exchanged with the heat of external air by a radiator. The radiator is provided near the battery and performs heat-exchange between the coolant and the external air taken in through introduction holes provided on a bottom face of the vehicle. Thus, even in a case where the radiator is provided in a vehicle floor portion so that the battery is upsized, it is possible to restrain a coolant pipe from being elongated. This accordingly makes it possible to improve mountability to the vehicle.

The widened part is connected to the groove, extends from the upper surface to the bottom, and has a width larger than a width of the groove. The filter unit is housed along a depth direction of the widened part to capture foreign matter mixed in a fluid passing through the flow path. A depth of the widened part from the upper surface to a bottom surface is a second depth larger than the first depth. The widened part includes a receiving part that a part of the filter unit enters.

Abstract: A planar illumination device according to an embodiment includes a light guide plate, an attenuation element, and a plurality of light sources. The light guide plate has a light-emitting surface that is a main surface through which light is emitted and a light-receiving side surface that is a side surface intersecting with the light-emitting surface and receives the light. The attenuation element attenuates the light entering through the light-receiving side surface. The light sources face the light-receiving side surface of the light guide plate and are arranged in parallel with one another at certain intervals. One of the intervals closer to the attenuation element is smaller than another of the intervals distanced from the attenuation element.
