  • Publication number: 20250070192
    Abstract: An electrode for use in a redox-flow battery system comprises carbon fibers. A compressive strain factor determined by dividing a difference between a first thickness of the electrode and a second thickness of the electrode by the first thickness is more than 0.6. The first thickness is a thickness of the electrode measured in a state where a surface pressure of 0.7 kPa is applied to the electrode. The second thickness is a thickness of the electrode measured in a state where a surface pressure of 0.8 MPa is applied to the electrode.

  • Patent number: 11422363
    Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide an adaptive optics system and an optical device that allow correction of wavefront phase aberration with higher accuracy than before and have a wider correction range than the conventional ones, regardless of the distance between the observation target and the fluctuation layer, and the size of the observation target. An adaptive optics system includes: a wavefront phase modulator that makes aberration correction to incident light and emits the corrected light; and an imaging-conjugated position adjustment mechanism that adjusts freely within a specimen the position of a surface imaging-conjugated with a fluctuation correction surface formed by the wavefront phase modulator. The imaging-conjugated position adjustment mechanism adjusts the fluctuation correction surface to be imaging-conjugated with a fluctuation layer existing in the specimen.
