  • Patent number: 5901949
    Abstract: A photograph collating system for combining and collating negative films and prints. The system includes a conveyer mechanism (70) extending through a negative film intake station (71) for receiving the negative films from a negative film outlet (60), a print intake station (73) for receiving the prints from a print outlet (50), and a collating station (74) for collating the negative films and prints.The conveyer mechanism (70) includes trays (100) for transporting the negative films (2) and the prints (3), a guide circuit (80) defining a transport passage of the trays, and a drive device (90) for moving the trays along the guide circuit (80). Each of the trays having moved to the collating station (74) is disengaged from the drive device by contact with a preceding one of the trays in a direction of transport.

  • Patent number: 4488203
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrochemical double-layer capacitor which comprises a capacitor element having a pair of polarization electrodes and a spacer interposed between the electrodes and impregnated with an electrolyte solution, and a film enclosure made of two film sheets which have been thermally bonded by heat sealing along their entire periphery. The film sheets are bonded directly or through a heat-fusible resin plate having an opening in which the capacitor element is received. When using the heat-fusible resin plate, the film sheet is made electrically conductive to allow easy connection to electric appliances or allow easy connection of a plurality of capacitor elements in series.

  • Patent number: 4327400
    Abstract: An electric double layer capacitor comprising a pair of polarization electrodes and an electrolyte disposed in-between and utilizing an electric double layer formed at the interface between the polarization electrodes and the electrolyte, wherein the polarization electrodes comprise a carbon electrode material and polyvinylpyrrolidone as a binder thereof; and therefore adherence, conductivity and a molding characteristic of the carbon electrode material are increased thereby improving characteristics as the capacitive device and reliability of the electric double layer capacitor.
