  • Patent number: 8409749
    Abstract: A battery unit comprises a battery case, and a plurality of battery modules stored and held in the battery case. The battery case includes a bottom wall and a partition. The plurality of battery modules are mounted on the bottom wall. The partition is provided and erected on the bottom wall. The partition separates the battery modules adjacent in a second direction traversing a first direction. The first direction is oriented from a first end of the battery case at which an inlet is formed to a second end at which an outlet is formed. The partition extends along a plane where the battery modules face each other in the second direction along the battery modules. The partition is inclined in the extending direction.

  • Patent number: 6943912
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus is provided which is capable of storing image data regardless of remaining free area of a memory associated with a specified function. The digital image forming apparatus comprises a facsimile memory for storing transmission/reception data by a memory transmission/reception function of a facsimile, a copying memory for storing copying data by a copying/printing function or externally inputted data, and a compression/expansion converting section which converts transmission/reception data stored in the facsimile memory by the memory transmission/reception function into data suitable for communication via a communication line, wherein a CPU working as storage control means is disposed which, when storing data by one function of a plurality of functions into a memory associated with the function, stores the data into a memory associated with another function in the case where all the data cannot be stored into the associated memory.
