Abstract: On a wiring board, an optical connection cable is provided in which a wiring light cord and a conducting wire are laid out in parallel. A primary side port and a secondary side port are optically connected for wiring, and are electrically connected to confirm the connection. When both ports are electrically connected, it is possible to confirm that the primary side port and the secondary side port are connected and a circuit is formed.

The basic cell may be laminated in its thickness direction to form a layered cell and includes a separator, a pair of polarized electrodes disposed so as to sandwich the separator, a pair of collectors disposed so as to sandwich the polarized electrodes, and a gasket disposed between the pair of collectors so as to surround the pair of polarized electrodes. The electrode plate body is attached to each of the collectors located at the outermost side in a laminated direction of the layered cell. A sealing material having a higher gas barrier property than the collectors is disposed so as to seal an interface between the collectors and the electrode plate in the outer package.

Abstract: An elevator system having multiple elevator cars efficiently assigns cars and communicates the car assignments to the potential passengers. A hallway intuitive user interface is readily adapted to installations having varying numbers of elevator cars with varying floor access by incorporating a graphical display that is rendered accordingly. Moreover, a combination of visual, textual and aural indications are given to the passenger that the destination entered is valid and assigned to a car. For those instances where a potential passenger fails to enter a destination correctly, the elevator system retains a traditional elevator control interface in the elevator car.

Abstract: An electric double-layer capacitor includes a cell structure formed by laminating basic cells in series one on another. Each of the basic cells includes a pair of collectors, a separator disposed between said collectors, gaskets disposed at peripheral edges of said pair of collectors and said separator to define a pair of closed spaces, and a pair of polarizable electrodes which are disposed in said closed spaces defined by said collectors, said separator and said gaskets, respectively and which contain an electrolytic solution. The basic cells are laminated one on another with a back of each of said collectors opposed to said polarizable electrode serving as a connection surface. The electric double-layer capacitor further includes a lead terminal/electrode plate assembly having electrode plates bonded to the collectors located at opposite ends of the cell structure through conductive bond layers.

Abstract: An electric double-layer capacitor includes a cell structure constituted by laminating basic cells in series with their collectors serving as connections. Each of the basic cells includes a pair of collectors, a separator disposed between the collectors, and a pair of polarizable electrodes which are disposed between the collectors and the separator and in which an electrolytic solution is contained. The capacitor further includes lead terminal/electrode plate assemblies each having an electrode plate electrically connected to the collectors at opposite ends of the cell structure. Each of the collectors includes a matrix made of an elastomer having a hardness Hs in a range of about 55 (inclusive) to lower than about 85 at ambient temperature, and conductive particles dispersed in the matrix. Thus, in the electric double-layer capacitor, a lower ESR can be realized at in initial stage and even after the service for a long period.

Abstract: A component cell of an electric double layer capacitor is fabricated by forming first and second half portions of the cell. In each of the half portions a polarized electrode impregnated with electrolyte is pasted to a collector electrode so that a stepped portion is formed on the periphery of the collector electrode. A gasket is attached to the stepped portion of each half portion, and a center gasket is attached to the periphery of a separator which is placed between the first and second half portions. Pressure is then applied to the first and second half portions of the cell in directions towards each other at an elevated temperature so that all gaskets are thermally joined together. A plurality of such component cells are stacked in a layered structure and sealed in a package.
