  • Publication number: 20230099729
    Abstract: A cell laminate includes a plurality of battery cells which are laminated. The plurality of battery cells are laminated in a first direction and are laminated to be offset to one side in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. An elastic body is arranged between adjacent battery cells of the plurality of battery cells. The elastic body is configured so that when the battery cells expand, the battery cells are displaced in the first direction and are displaced to the other side in the second direction.

  • Patent number: 11031610
    Abstract: A fuel cell stack includes a stack body formed by stacking a plurality of power generation cells. A first seal line of a first metal separator and a second seal line of a second metal separator protrude in a stacking direction of the stack body in a manner to contact a resin film. An insulator is provided with a first elastic seal member which contacts a second end seal line. The width of the first elastic seal member is larger than the maximum width of the second end seal line.

  • Patent number: 10151393
    Abstract: A metal gasket material plate includes a sealing layer formed by layering a chemical coating layer, an adhesive layer, and a rubber coating layer in this order on at least one side of a metal plate. The chemical coating layer is formed by a thermosetting surface preparation agent including inorganic compound particles and a metal alkoxide compound. The adhesive layer is formed by an adhesive including an epoxy compound and an anti-corrosive pigment. The rubber coating layer is formed by a rubber agent including rubber.

  • Patent number: 7736690
    Abstract: A probe tip section of an electrical test probe has a laminated structure consisting of a first deposition portion and a second deposition portion covering the first deposition portion, and by the laminated structure, a maximum cross-sectional area portion at which the cross-sectional area of the probe tip section is increased to a base portion is provided between a tip end of the probe tip section and the base portion in the probe tip section. At the maximum cross-sectional area portion, a dimension in the X direction as seen on a flat surface perpendicular to a protruding direction of the probe tip section is increased in a one-dimensional way, and in addition, a dimension in the Y direction perpendicular to the X direction is increased from the tip end toward the base portion, as a result of which the cross-sectional area of the probe tip section can be increased in a two-dimensional way.

  • Patent number: 7721429
    Abstract: A probe formed on a base table is detached from the base table without giving damage on the probe. The present invention provides a probe manufacturing method comprising the steps of forming on a sacrificial layer on a base table a recess exposing the sacrificial layer with a resist, depositing a probe material in the recess to form a probe and then removing the resist, leaving part of the sacrificial layer and removing the rest by an etching process, and detaching from the base table the probe held on the base table by the remaining part of the sacrificial layer. In the recess of the resist are formed a main body part corresponding to a flat surface shape of the probe and an auxiliary part continuing into the main body part. The probe is formed by deposition of the material at the main body part, and a holding portion is formed by deposition of the material at the auxiliary part.
