Abstract: An image forming method for forming an image on a substrate, includes: forming a resin layer on the substrate; adhering a transfer sheet having a sublimable dye ink layer on a surface thereof to the resin layer, the sublimable dye ink layer including a sublimable dye ink; and heating the transfer sheet to transfer the sublimable dye ink to the resin layer. Forming the resin layer includes: ejecting a resin liquid from an inkjet head to adhere the resin liquid to the substrate, the resin liquid including a resin component capable of being polymerized by ultraviolet irradiation; and polymerizing the resin component by ultraviolet radiation to form the resin layer on the substrate.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a power storage device includes a laser welding step in which a laser beam is irradiated to an opening portion of a case body and a peripheral portion of a case lid member of a lid assembly over the entire circumference to laser weld them while the opening portion of the case body is closed by the case lid member, a shielding step, prior to the laser welding step, in which a shield member is placed in position on the lid assembly to prevent scattered light of the laser beam from reaching a resin member, and a removing step, after the laser welding step, in which the shield member is removed.

Abstract: An image forming method for forming an image on a non-permeable substrate, which is water proof, includes: forming a resin layer on the non-permeable substrate; adhering a transfer sheet having a sublimable dye ink layer on a surface thereof to the resin layer, the sublimable dye ink layer comprising a sublimable dye ink; and heating the transfer sheet to transfer the sublimable dye ink to the resin layer. Forming the resin layer includes: ejecting a dispersion liquid which includes resin particles from an inkjet head to be adhered to the non-permeable substrate, such that the resin particles are fixed on the non-permeable substrate to form the resin layer.

Abstract: Provided is a solid secondary battery capable of more suppressing a short circuit due to generation or growth of dendrites than in the prior art. The anode material comprises amorphous carbon and a first element that forms an alloy with lithium by an electrochemical reaction, wherein the amorphous carbon is carbon black, primary particles of the carbon black are porous, and a value of an average primary particle diameter (cm)×a nitrogen adsorption specific surface area (cm2/g) is greater than or equal to 5 and less than or equal to 35.

Abstract: A rotary electric machine, a transmission, and a differential gear device are disposed coaxially. The transmission includes a first helical gear and a second helical gear that meshes with the first helical gear. A case includes a first case member including a stator support portion that supports a stator of the rotary electric machine, a second case member that is structured as a separate member from the first case member and forms a gear chamber that houses the transmission and the differential gear device, and a support member that supports the first helical gear in an axial direction. The support member rotatably supports a rotor of the rotary electric machine via a rotor bearing, and is fixed to the second case member.

Abstract: A water-based ink includes: a dye; water; an acidic preservative; and at least one of a surfactant and a penetrant. The acidic preservative preferably includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyvalent unsaturated fatty acid, a polyvalent unsaturated fatty acid salt, dehydroacetic acid, and a dehydroacetate. A content of the acidic preservative in the water-based ink is preferably 0.3% by mass to 6.0% by mass relative to a total mass of the water-based ink. The surfactant preferably includes an acetylene-based surfactant. The penetrant preferably includes at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkylene diol and a glycol ether compound.

Abstract: A water-based ink for inkjet recording, includes: a pigment; water; and an acidic preservative. The pigment is preferably a self-dispersing pigment. The acidic preservative preferably includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyvalent unsaturated fatty acid, a polyvalent unsaturated fatty acid salt, dehydroacetic acid, and a dehydroacetate. A content of the acidic preservative in the water-based ink is preferably 0.5% by mass to 5.0% by mass relative to a total mass of the water-based ink. The water-based ink preferably further includes a surfactant. The water-based ink preferably further includes a penetrant which includes at least one selected from the group consisting of 1,2-hexanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, and triethylene glycol-n-butyl ether (BTG).
