Abstract: An all-solid-state battery includes a negative electrode current collector foil, a solid electrolyte layer, and a positive electrode layer. The negative electrode current collector foil is connected to an insulating first elastic body having a frame shape that follows and surrounds a shape of a peripheral edge of the solid electrolyte layer. The first elastic body is connected to a main surface of the solid electrolyte layer or a side surface of the solid electrolyte layer to form an internal space surrounded by the solid electrolyte layer, the negative electrode current collector foil, and the first elastic body. The solid electrolyte layer is disposed such that an outer shape thereof includes an outer shape of the positive electrode layer inside in plan view. When the all-solid-state battery is in a fully discharged state, the internal space is filled with a negative electrode layer having electrical conductivity and/or lithium ion conductivity.

Abstract: A method for controlling a mobile vehicle comprises the steps of selecting a control mode for autonomous driving of the mobile vehicle and transmitting information on the selected control mode to the mobile vehicle. The control mode includes a first mode and a second mode of which a restriction on a driving safety is stricter than that of the first mode. The step of selecting the control mode comprises the steps of determining whether a remote support for the mobile vehicle is required, and selecting the first mode as the control mode when it is determined that the remote support is not required whereas selecting the second mode as the control mode when it is determined that the remote support is required.

Abstract: An operating table includes a patient placement table for placing and securing a patient in a required posture; a main body for supporting the patient placement table; engaging pieces for removably coupling the patient placement table to the main body; and a motor for rotating the patient placement table with a head-feet direction of the patient as a rotation axis to hold the patient placement table at any given rotation angle.
