  • Patent number: 10818939
    Abstract: Provided is a redox flow battery in which damage is unlikely to occur in a membrane. A redox flow battery includes a pair of adjacent cell frames, each cell frame including a frame body in which a flow channel for an electrolyte is formed, and a bipolar plate disposed inside the frame body; a positive electrode and a negative electrode disposed so as to face each other between the bipolar plates of the pair of cell frames; a membrane interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; a protection plate which covers the flow channel and presses edge portions of the positive electrode or the negative electrode toward the bipolar plate; and a membrane protection structure which prevents the membrane from being broken by contact between the protection plate and the membrane.

  • Patent number: 10488949
    Abstract: A visual-field information collection method is capable of collecting visual-field information of a user wearing a head mounted display without applying a large calculation load to a processor. The visual-field information collection method to be executed by a processor includes arranging, in a virtual space in which a user wearing an HMD is immersed, a virtual camera that defines a visual axis for specifying a visual field of the user. The method includes determining the visual axis in accordance with one of a movement of the HMD and a line-of-sight direction of the user. The method includes determining whether or not the visual axis is moved from a predetermined first position to a predetermined second position. The method includes generating movement information representing that the visual axis is moved when the visual axis is moved from the predetermined first position to the predetermined second position.
