  • Patent number: 11942605
    Abstract: A solid-state battery including a solid-state battery laminate that includes at least one battery constituent unit including a positive electrode layer, a negative electrode layer, and a solid electrolyte layer interposed between the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer along a lamination direction, and defining: an overlapping part in which the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer overlap each other in the lamination direction, and a non-overlapping part in which the positive electrode layer and the negative electrode layer do not overlap each other in the lamination direction. At least one main surface having a normal in the lamination direction has a recess overlapping the overlapping part and defines a step between the overlapping part and the non-overlapping part or in the non-overlapping part.

  • Patent number: 8770781
    Abstract: It is expected to provide a lighting apparatus that can improve the radiation performance. In a lighting apparatus that includes a light source unit and a heat sink radiating the heat generated by the light source unit and is recessed and installed to an attaching hole opened on a mounted portion, the heat sink is exposed at least partially to a side where the light from the light source unit is emitted from the attaching hole. For example, when installed to a ceiling having a heat insulated structure, the heat generated by the light source unit and transferred to the heat sink is transferred inside the heat sink and radiated from one part to the air at the side where the light from the light source unit is emitted from the attaching hole. Therefore, the radiation performance can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20110116276
    Abstract: In a mounting assisting member used for mounting a mounted body for a smaller mounting hole than a mounting hole provided in a mounting member to the mounting hole, the mounting assisting member, since support plate portions of the mounting assisting member come into surface contact with a peripheral edge portion in an upper surface side of a ceiling of a mounting hole by one surfaces. Accordingly, an influence of a concavity and convexity is lightened even in the case the concavity and convexity exists in a peripheral edge portion of the mounting hole, and a lighting apparatus for a smaller mounting hole than the mounting hole of the ceiling is stably held to the ceiling in a predetermined direction and by a predetermined support force.

  • Publication number: 20100282446
    Abstract: A heat dissipation device according to the present invention includes an inner tube to which heat from LED modules is to be transferred, first fins protruding from an outer surface of the inner tube in a direction crossing the outer surface, and an outer tube covering the inner tube. Moreover, heat is transferred from the surfaces of the inner tube, outer tube and first fins which form ventilation paths (medium paths) to the air flowing at an increased flow rate by a stack effect.
