  • Publication number: 20230221569
    Abstract: A virtual image display device includes: a switching mechanism for switching a position of a view angle including a first position and a second position; and a display control unit for displaying the virtual image in response to a switching of the position of the view angle by the switching mechanism. When the display control unit displays a specific content within the view angle at the second position after the switching mechanism switches the view angle from the first position to the second position, the display control unit starts displaying a related content preliminarily associated with the specific content before the switching of the view angle to the second position is completed.

  • Patent number: 10381631
    Abstract: A sealed-type battery includes an exterior body, a collector terminal, a hollow rivet defining a hollow section, and a reverse plate arranged between the collector terminal and the hollow rivet. The collector terminal includes: a projected section projected; a peripheral edge section provided; and a notch section provided in the peripheral edge section in a manner to surround the projected section and formed in a manner to reduce thickness of the collector terminal. In a projected direction of the projected section, the projected section is thicker than the peripheral edge section. A fitting section, to which the projected section is fitted, is provided in the reverse plate. The sealed-type battery includes a welded section that has a top surface opposing the hollow rivet and that joins the collector terminal and the reverse plate at a position between the projected section and the fitting section.

  • Patent number: 9508963
    Abstract: A battery houses an electrode body inside a battery case including a bottomed cylindrical case body having an opening part, and a plate-like lid member inserted in the opening part so as to seal the opening. The opening part and a lid peripheral edge part are welded hermetically by an energy beam irradiated from outside in the thickness direction of the lid member. In a specific section, the inner peripheral surface of the opening part and the peripheral edge surface of the lid peripheral edge part are welded in close contact with each other. A bead at the specific section takes a fan shape having a central angle of 160 to 200 degrees in a cross section, and the center of the fan shape is positioned on the inner peripheral surface and the peripheral edge surface.
