Abstract: An electric double layer capacitor includes: a cell which includes a pair of polarizable electrodes impregnated with an electrolytic solution and disposed in opposed relation with a separator interposed therebetween; collector electrodes respectively attached to the polarizable electrodes; and a sealing member of a synthetic resin which seals a periphery of the cell. The collector electrodes extend outward of the sealing member through the sealing member in contact with the sealing member. The collector electrodes each have a rough surface portion which extends through the sealing member.

Abstract: In an electric double layer capacitor including two plate-like polarizable electrodes stacked in layers via a separator and constituted by housing these in an outer packaging member, a contact area between a first polarizable electrode and the separator is different from a contact area between a second polarizable electrode and the separator, and the polarizable electrode with a smaller contact area is formed thicker than the polarizable electrode with a larger contact area. In addition, it is preferable that the first polarizable electrode and the second polarizable electrode have a generally equal volume.

Abstract: An electric double layer capacitor has an electrode unit (10), an external lid (4), an external case, and a gasket (8) disposed between the external lid (4) and the external case (5). The external case (5) has an open end part that is bent inwardly with the external lid and the external case being disposed so that inner surfaces of the top wall and the bottom wall face each other, to hermetically close an accommodating space, formed by the external case and the external lid. The thickness of at least the circumferential wall of the external lid (4) is greater than the thickness of the external case (5). The circumferential wall of the external lid (4) extends substantially linearly toward the bottom wall of the external case (5), and the extending edge of the circumferential wall of the external lid (4) is buried in the gasket (8).

Abstract: An electric double layer capacitor is provided with a cell, in which a pair of polarizable electrodes, which are impregnated with an electrolyte, are disposed in opposition on either side of a separator; wherein the polarizable electrodes are provided with collector electrodes, a peripheral portion of the cell is sealed by a sealing member composed of synthetic resin, and the sealing member is formed by abutting two case halves.

The collector electrodes are composed of an alloy made of crystal grains of differing components and the collector electrodes pass through the sealing member while in intimate contact with the sealing member, extending to the outside of the sealing member. A metal plated layer made of crystal grains of a single component is formed on those locations on the collector electrodes that pass through the sealing member.

Abstract: A cylinder block (10) is such that a main body cylinder block (4; 404) and an outer cylinder block (6; 406) are molded separately. As a result, the portion of the die which is used to mold a water jacket (50; 450) does not need to be made thin, thereby increasing the life of the die. Further, cylinders (12; 412) are of a simple shape and the pressure in the axial direction of the cylinder (12; 412) is able to be dispersed substantially evenly between the cylinders (12; 412) and the outer cylinder block (6; 406), thus enabling the cylinders (12; 412) to be thin. Accordingly, there is an increased degree of freedom in design of the portion which forms the water jacket (50; 450). The water jacket (50; 450) and the cylinders (12; 412) can therefore both be made sufficiently thin, thereby contributing to a decrease in both the size and weight of the engine.

Abstract: A cylinder block for an engine has a cylinder assembly having a plurality of cylinders, each corresponding to one of a plurality of pistons. A block body has an outer wall accommodating the cylinder assembly, a crankcase accommodating the crankshaft, and a plurality of partitions. The partitions divide the space in the crankcase into a plurality of crank chambers. The number of the crank chambers corresponds to the number of the cylinders. The outer wall, the crankcase, and the partitions are formed integrally. A partition through portion is formed in a predetermined one of the partitions to connect an adjacent pair of the crank chambers. The partition through portion opens toward the cylinders.
