Abstract: A battery pack including a battery cell, a circuit board electrically connected to the battery cell, a first cover, and a second cover. The battery cell includes a battery element, a rectangular first packaging component, a recess, and a rectangular second packaging component. The battery element is housed in the recess, the first packaging component and the second packaging component are stacked so that the second packaging component covers the opening of the recess, the periphery of the opening is sealed, both ends of the second packaging component are abutted at the outer bottom surface of the recess of the first packaging component, and the first outer resin layer and the second inner resin layer are bonded by heat seal adhesive layer.

Abstract: A document reading unit has an image sensor mounted in a box-like support base so that a document can be read by the image sensor through an opening in the support base. A contact glass disposed in the opening covers the image sensor and supports the document while it is being read by the image sensor. Support members coupled to the contact glass are detachably fixed to the support base by fixing screws. The image sensor has two rows of spaced-apart line sensors with the line sensors in one row staggered relative to those in the other row, and the support members are arranged between adjacent pairs of line sensors in each row of line sensors. The contact glass and support members are removable as a unit from the support base.

Abstract: A cell comprising a casing, a roll electrode element accommodated in said casing, and an electrolyte filled into the casing, the roll electrode element being composed of at least one sheet-like positive electrode, at least one sheet-like negative electrode and at least one film separator which are arranged alternately in an overlapped relation to each other such that the sheet-like positive electrode is brought into contact with the sheet-like negative electrode through the separator film, to form an electrode laminate, wherein the electrode laminate is wound around a core having an approximately rhombic shape in section to form a roll having a multi-layered structure and, after removal of the core, the roll of the electrode laminate is compressed to obtain the roll electrode element having an ellipsoidal shape in section.

Abstract: There is disclosed a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising a cathode can, a cathode pellet, a separator, an anode can, an anode pellet, and a non-aqueous electrolytic solution. At the portion in contact with the cathode can of the cathode pellet and the portion in contact with the anode can of the anode pellet, layers containing powder having conductive property are respectively formed. The powder having conductive property is aluminum powder on the cathode side and is copper powder on the anode side. The layers containing powder having conductive property are integrally molded as the result of the fact that they are compression-molded along with a cathode active material and an anode active material.
