Abstract: To provide a method with which it is possible to ascertain a gas concentration in a furnace rapidly, and to charge an amount of fuel and/or oxygen corresponding to the state within the furnace, and with which it is possible to reduce the device maintenance load. In order to solve the abovementioned problem, this method for analyzing components contained in flue exhaust gas of a furnace includes: a sampling step of collecting a portion of the flue exhaust gas from a flue; a dust removal step of using a centrifugal dust collecting device to separate out dust in the flue exhaust gas collected in the sampling step, to yield an analysis gas; a measuring step of measuring components in the analysis gas to obtain the concentration of carbon monoxide in the analysis gas; and an analysis gas discharging step of causing the analysis gas to be sucked by an ejector.

Abstract: An ultraviolet curing apparatus having: a roller for guiding a film coated with a resin; a first nitrogen gas introduction port and a second nitrogen gas introduction port for introducing nitrogen gas; a UV irradiation portion for irradiating the film with ultraviolet rays from between the first nitrogen gas introduction port and the second nitrogen gas introduction port; an oxygen concentration meter for measuring an oxygen concentration between the film and the UV irradiation portion; an air introduction port for introducing air between the film and the UV irradiation portion; and a controller for controlling at least any one of: an amount of air introduced from the air introduction port, an amount of nitrogen gas introduced from the first nitrogen gas introduction port, and an amount of nitrogen gas introduced from the second nitrogen gas introduction port, so that the oxygen concentration is within a preset oxygen concentration set range.

Abstract: A battery pack may include a fusible link plate having a bent shape. The fusible link plate may include: a first plate part extending in a first direction; a second plate part extending in a second direction; and a bent part connecting the first plate part to the second plate part. The first plate part, the second plate part, and the bent part may be disposed along a first plane that is along both the first direction and the second direction. The first plate part may include a portion having a first cross-sectional area. The second plate part may include a portion having a second cross-sectional area. The bent part may include a first fusible part having a third cross-sectional area. The third cross-sectional area may be smaller than the first cross-sectional area and smaller than the second cross-sectional area.

Abstract: A battery pack contains a plurality of battery cells that includes a first battery cell and a second battery cell; a first thermistor disposed closest to the first battery cell among the battery cells; a second thermistor disposed closest to the second battery cell among the battery cells. A case of the battery pack holds the battery cells, the first thermistor, and the second thermistor. The first battery cell is disposed such that at least one of the other battery cells is interposed between the first battery cell and a wall surface of the case in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the first battery cell. The second battery cell is disposed such that none of the other battery cells is interposed between the second battery cell and the wall surface of the case in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the second battery cell.
