  • Publication number: 20240145738
    Abstract: A fuel cell composite member 1 includes a plate-like member 2 having a gasket disposition part 4 having a front-side disposition part 4U disposed on a front surface 2U and a rear-side disposition part 4D disposed on a rear surface 2D and a gasket 5 integrally molded with the gasket disposition part 4. The front-side disposition part 4U has a continuous part 40U disposed around desired sealing target regions 22ULa, 22ULc, 22URa, 22URc, and 22UM and an independent part 41U independent from the continuous part 40U and disposed on the outer side of the continuous part 40U in a surface direction. The continuous part 40U and the independent part 41U communicate with each other through continuous part inner penetrating holes 402Ua, the rear-side disposition part 4D, and independent part inner penetrating holes 410U. In the independent part 41U, the gasket 5 does not protrude forward from the front surface 2U.

  • Patent number: 11966182
    Abstract: A fixing device includes a fixing member, a pressure member, and a pair of retention members each including a restriction surface. The restriction surface restricts a movement of the fixing member in an axial direction. The restriction surface includes a first contact area and a second contact area. The first area is an area more on a downstream side of a passing direction of a medium than a center of a pressure area in the passing direction, and also closer to the pressure area than an apex of the fixing member on an opposite side of the pressure area. The first contact area and the second contact area are each tilted at a certain gradient so as to be set apart from the end portion of the fixing member in the axial direction from a side of the apex toward a side of the pressure area.

  • Publication number: 20240097197
    Abstract: A non-aqueous rechargeable battery includes an electrode body in which a positive plate and a negative electrode plate are stacked in a stacking direction with a separator arranged in between. The positive electrode plate includes a positive electrode substrate, and a positive electrode mixture layer and an insulating layer arranged on each of two opposite surfaces of the positive electrode substrate. The positive electrode substrate includes a positive electrode uncoated portion. The electrode body includes a positive electrode current collector portion in which layers of the positive electrode uncoated portion are stacked in the stacking direction. A first insulating layer on a first surface of the positive electrode substrate, facing a center of the positive electrode current collector portion in the stacking direction, has a thickness that is greater than that of a second insulating layer on a second surface of the positive electrode substrate opposite to the first surface.

  • Publication number: 20240087114
    Abstract: An information processing system according to an embodiment is an information processing system that has a detection unit that has a sensor that is mounted on a toilet where a bowl part that receives excrement is formed where a plurality of elements are linearly arranged to detect dropping feces, a feces image acquisition unit that acquires a feces image that is based on information that is acquired in time series by the detection unit, and a determination unit that determines an amount of feces from the feces image, wherein the determination unit determines an amount of feces based on a length of feces in a dropping direction thereof on the feces image and a property of feces.
