Abstract: An electric vehicle includes: an electric motor that generates rotational power by which a driving wheel is driven; a battery case defining a battery accommodating space accommodating at least one battery; connectors that are located in the battery case, accommodated in the battery accommodating space, and electrically connected to respective terminals of the battery; and electric power lines through which electric power of the battery is supplied to the electric motor. The electric power lines include a connection circuit that includes a connection portion where the electric power lines extending from the connectors are connected to each other, the connection portion being located in an adjacent region located adjacent to the connectors.

Abstract: A magnetic disk cartridge includes a magnetic disk and a casing which accommodates therein the magnetic disk. The casing has a magnetic head opening through which a magnetic head gains access to the magnetic disk and a sliding shutter which slides between a closed position, where it covers the magnetic head opening, and an open position, in which the magnetic head opening is uncovered. The sliding shutter is provided with a first cutaway portion which is formed on the front edge of the shutter and can be engaged with a shutter opening pin which is provided in a disk drive and moves the sliding shutter to the open position when the magnetic disk cartridge is loaded into the drive. A second cutaway portion is formed in the front edge portion of the casing in a position substantially symmetrical to the position of the first cutaway portion about the centerline of the casing which is perpendicular to the front edge of the casing.

Abstract: A flexible magnetic disk is provided with a protective layer at the peripheral edge portion of the circular hole in the center of a magnetic disk sheet. The protective layer is formed by applying a radiation-polymerizable composition to the peripheral edge portion of the circular hole in the center of the magnetic disk sheet by letterpress printing, and exposing the composition to a radiation to cure the composition.
