Abstract: [Purpose] To provide a lithium secondary battery with excellent productivity, wherein deterioration of the housing material due to penetration of moisture into the inside of the battery and hydrogen fluoride generating inside the battery are prevented.

Abstract: In a fluid control apparatus having coil-supporting protruding portions on one end surface of a case, where each coil-supporting protruding portion is deformed by pressing a coil portion with a pressing jig to the coil-supporting protruding portion, in a state where the other end surface of the case is supported by a supporting jig, the fluid control apparatus includes jig-supporting protruding portions on the other end surface of the case, such that the supporting jig abuts with the jig-supporting protruding portions only. When an area that abuts with the supporting jig is narrow, it is easy to increase accuracy in flatness even in a case of resin molding. Furthermore, when accuracy in flatness of the jig-supporting protruding portions is enhanced, a necessity for adjusting the supporting jig so as to match waviness of the case as in the conventional case is eliminated, whereby the supporting jig can be easily produced.

Abstract: An image display device comprising a panel including a substrate, a foreside laminated body arranged on the viewer side of the substrate, and a backside laminated body arranged on the opposite side of the substrate, wherein the foreside laminated body comprises a polarizer, a viewer side protective film and a substrate side protective film having a thickness thinner than that of the viewer side protective film by 10 ?m or more. The device suppresses lowering in display performance by preventing warpage of the panel.

Abstract: In an electronic control unit, a chassis is provided with a plate portion, and a circuit board is secured to a board-side attaching surface of the plate portion with a predetermined space secured relative to the plate portion. The chassis is further provided with a side wall protruding from the circumferential portion of the other surface of the plate portion and is mounted on a surface of a housing incorporating a device therein, with an end surface of the side wall being seated on the surface of the housing. A bus bar is fixed at a fixing portion thereof to the board-side attaching surface between the plate portion and the circuit board and is connected to a terminal of the device which is taken out from the housing. The bus bar is provided at plural free ends thereof with branch portions at which lead portions extend to be joined at end portions thereof to the circuit board.

Abstract: A solenoid cover includes a solenoid valve housing chamber housing solenoids of solenoid valves that project outwards from a hydraulic unit and a lower space therebelow. Two labyrinth portions with a fluid passage formed by a plurality of partition plates and communication holes are provided so as to be symmetrical with each other in a left-right direction below the lower space. An air vent communicates with the outside and which serves as a water drain is provided below each labyrinth portion. When a pressure in the solenoid valve housing chamber becomes negative due to a temperature decrease, water flows through the air vent at a high flow rate. Then, the water entering through the upper communication hole flows down along the partition plate toward the lower communication hole, which easily enables the water to be drained to the outside.

Abstract: A solenoid cover includes a solenoid valve housing chamber housing of solenoid valves that project outwards from a hydraulic unit housing and a lower space therebelow. An upper volume reduced portion is disposed upper side of a solenoid valve position region. Since the upper volume reduced portion is formed such that a part of the partition protrudes toward the hydraulic unit housing, a volume of the upper space, which is sandwiched between the upper volume reduced portion and the hydraulic unit housing, becomes extremely small. Accordingly, the total volume of the solenoid valve housing chamber is reduced by providing the upper volume reduced portion and the absolute amount of water to be entered reduces. A height level of the water that is entered in the solenoid valve housing chamber is suppressed.

Abstract: A reversible information liquid crystal display medium is disclosed which is capable of long term information display, even through extremes of heat and pressure, without the addition of energy to maintain the display. A primary ingredient of the liquid crystal display medium is a liquid crystalline composition of high-molecular liquid crystal in which molecules that can function as a liquid crystal are chemically bound to side chains of a high-molecular polymer skeleton through a flexing group. Low-molecular liquid crystal may be added to the liquid crystalline composition in order to reduce the response speed of the liquid crystalline composition. The liquid crystal display medium may be used in the display portion of a contactless integrated circuit (IC) card.

Abstract: A reversible information display medium of liquid crystal type comprises a recording layer comprising a liquid crystalline composition whose main component exhibits a glass state at room temperature and a dichroic dye, said liquid crystalline composition exhibiting an isotropic liquid state or a liquid crystal domain state by the application of heat and further exhibiting a homeotropic orientation state by the application of both heat and electric field. A non-contact IC card employing the reversible information display medium of liquid crystal type is also provided.

Abstract: An electronic control unit has a connector intervening between an external load and a printed circuit board inside the unit housing including a circuit casing and a connector casing both formed integrally therewith. At least one connector terminal of the connector is provided with a buffering portion effective to absorb an external stress. This connector terminal can be accurately and precisely constrained in a housing and can provide a stabilized electrical connection with a high workability.
