  • Publication number: 20120045689
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide such things as an electrode sheet having little curl for a spiral wound battery and a manufacturing method therefor. An electrode sheet is such that active material layer(s) is/are present and has/have been subjected to working by rolling at entire surface(s) thereof, except for at least one uncoated region U, of electrode sheets) comprising sheet(s) of metal foil(s) S. Moreover, drawn region(s) is/are provided at region(s) uncoated with active material layer(s) in such uncoated region(s) U. By thus creating drawn region(s) at uncoated region(s) of the electrode sheet, curling of the electrode sheet is suppressed, and furthermore, when tension is applied to carry out winding of the electrode sheet and/or convey the electrode sheet to subsequent operation(s), there is reduced likelihood of occurrence of wrinkling and/or tearing in the long direction of the electrode sheet.

  • Publication number: 20100217839
    Abstract: Problem to be solved is the development system of the Integrated Development Environment which can be used by a server terminal system. Means for Solution is that a development system which develops software in a network server and a terminal, and the server and the terminal are provided. The server is provided with a library source database which can make a fixed source file and a source file preparer. Also, a compiler making an executable file from a fixed source file, and a network connecter transmitting and receiving a source file and the executable file are provided. The terminal is provided with a network connecter and an Integrated development environment which can edit and transmit a source file transmitted from the server by the network connecter of the terminal.
