Abstract: A battery includes a first electrode plate including a substantially rectangular first coating portion, and a first electrode tab connected to the first coating portion; a second electrode plate including a substantially rectangular second coating portion, and a second electrode tab connected to the second coating portion; a separator arranged between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate; and a battery container that houses the first electrode plate, the second electrode plate, and the separator. The first electrode tab has a first rectangular portion having a substantially rectangular shape, and a first triangular portion that is connected to the first rectangular portion and the first coating portion, and the first triangular portion has a substantially straight oblique side that extends from the middle of the first rectangular portion.

Abstract: A secondary battery of the invention includes: an electrode terminal; a plurality of electrode plates (4) arranged side by side; and a plurality of connection plates (7) stacked each other, and electrically connecting the electrode terminal to the plurality of electrode plates (4) by connecting one ends of the connection plates to the electrode terminal and by connecting the other ends of the connection plates to the electrode plates, wherein the connection plates (7) are folded in a meandering shape between the electrode terminal and the plurality of electrode plates (4).

Abstract: A rechargeable battery including: an angular battery can (1) having a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal; a group of electrodes which is disposed inside the angular battery can and in which a sheet-shaped positive electrode (2) electrically connected to the positive electrode terminal and a sheet-shaped negative electrode (2) electrically connected to the negative electrode terminal are stacked interposing a separator (7); and first and second insulating auxiliary sheets (8) which are disposed inside the angular battery can to have a width greater than a width of the group of electrodes along the long-side direction of a plane of the angular battery can where the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal are formed and to have a thickness capable of substantially covering a round part of a corner of the angular battery can, wherein the first and the second insulating auxiliary sheets (8) are disposed at mutually opposing positions in the long-side direction, wi

Abstract: An ink supplying unit supplies a water-based ink having a predetermined water content set in advance. An ink form roller receives the water-based ink from the ink supplying unit. A plate cylinder is in contact with the ink form roller, and receives the water-based ink from the ink form roller. A water-content decreasing unit decreases the water content of the water-based ink on the ink form roller.

Abstract: A cleaning device that cleans an ink-supply path of a printer including a plurality of cylinders that constitute the ink-supply path. The cleaning device supplies cleaning solution from a cleaning nozzle to an ink-transfer cylinder in the state where the ink-transfer cylinder is not in contact with an ink-source cylinder, and a blanket cylinder is not in contact with a recording medium. After the cleaning solution is supplied to all the cylinders, a cleaning-solution collecting cylinder is brought into contact with an inking cylinder to collect waste cleaning solution therefrom. A cleaning-solution removing blade removes the waste cleaning solution from the cleaning-solution collecting cylinder.

Abstract: An ink-transfer roller is brought into contact with an ink-source roller so that ink is transferred from the ink-source roller to the ink-transfer roller. The ink-transfer roller includes an ink-transfer member, an ink-transfer roller body, an elastic member, and a rotation axis. The elastic member is provided between the rotation axis and the ink-transfer roller body.

Abstract: An offset rotary printing machine which includes a first printing cylinder and a second printing cylinder in which printing is performed on a web at a nip between the pair of printing cylinders, the second printing cylinder contacting the first printing cylinder and being shifted downstream from the first printing cylinder. The printing machine includes an angle adjustment mechanism for adjusting an angle of a plane connecting center axes of the pair of printing cylinders which is inclined to a plane perpendicular to the moving direction of the web, and a controller for controlling the angle adjustment mechanism, based on parameters interrelating to a delamination occurrence probability that is caused as printing is performed by the downstream second printing cylinder.

Abstract: In the present invention, a blanket cylinder for a printing press is made up of a shaft roller and a cylindrical blanket capable of being attached and detached freely to and from the shaft roller. The cylindrical blanket comprises an elastic layer formed integrally with a cylindrical sleeve by winding and bonding a sheet-form elastic member on and to the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve, the elastic layer having a gap extending in the axial direction formed between both ends in the circumferential direction of the sheet-form elastic member; and a separation preventive member for preventing both ends in the circumferential direction of the sheet-form elastic member from being separated from the sleeve, the separation preventive member being embedded in the gap so as to be thinner than the thickness of the sheet-form elastic member to form a groove in the outer peripheral surface of the elastic layer.
