Abstract: A spot welding electrode removal apparatus that is compact and durable is provided. Specifically, the apparatus includes a J-shaped operating lever, and in a position adjacent to the end of the operating lever and facing the contact member, a pressing member is provided. The operating lever is pivotably supported at a portion of the operating lever closer to the end of the operating lever than the pressing member is by a portion of the rotating case adjacent to the side of the contact member. The electrode is placed between the contact member and the pressing member, and a pivotal operation of the operating lever toward the electrode allows the pressing member and the contact member to sandwich the electrode, and a further pivotal operation of the operating lever toward the electrode allows the electrode to rotate together with the rotating case, thereby removing the electrode from a shank end.

Abstract: Manufacturing management information relating to a module battery and single battery mounted therein which are obtained in a battery manufacturing process (1) is collected by a manufacturing quality information collection processing unit (4) and stored in a database (6). In a battery diagnosis system (3), when the module battery (2) under a usage environment is charged, an operation result processing unit (5) collects operation result information relating to the module (2) and stores the operation result information in a database (7). An operation result monitoring processing unit (8) determines whether the operation result information is abnormal, and supplies the result of the determination to a manufacturing/usage environment factor classification processing unit (9).

Abstract: A maskless exposure method of drawing a circuit pattern includes: moving a substrate with respect to a projection optical system; scanning, by the projection optical system, the substrate in a first direction; shifting a scanning region in a second direction; scanning the substrate in the first direction so that an overlapping part is formed. A plurality of marks different from the circuit pattern are exposed in a vicinity of the overlapping part. The plurality of marks are a set of marks at least including two marks disposed on one side of the overlapping part and two marks disposed on another side of the overlapping part. Deviations between the pair of the scanning regions, an inclination of exposing light, and a yawing angle of a stage are analyzed by measuring deviations of distances among the plurality of marks. Calibration data are obtained from a result of the analyzing.
