In a battery (2) including a battery cell formed in a flattened substantially parallelepiped shape and a terminal contacting section (222) electrically connected to the battery cell, at one end in the longitudinal direction of a face of the battery opposing to the face on which the terminal contacting section (222) is provided, a projecting portion (26) which projects in the longitudinal direction of the face is provided. Meanwhile, another projecting portion (27) which projects in the longitudinal direction of the face is provided at the other end. The projecting portions (26, 27) may have projecting lengths different from each other or may have projecting lengths and projecting thicknesses different from each other. A charging apparatus into which the battery (2) is to be installed includes an accommodating section (40) for the battery (2) which in turn includes projection accommodating portions (46 and 47) configured to individually accommodate the projecting portions (26 and 27). The accommodating section (40) includes a space for accommodating a battery (2D, 2E) wherein the battery cell has a rectangular principal face and another space for accommodating another battery (2) wherein the battery cell has a substantially square principal face, and charging terminals serve as charging terminals not only for the battery (2) but also for the battery (2D, 2E).

A data media processing device holds a second data media, such as magnetic card, until a first data media, such as an IC card, is issued. A temporary card holding unit then returns the held second data media thereafter. The data media processing device has a media path switching mechanism to switch to either a first data media issuing path section for issuing the first data media card, or a temporary card holding unit for holding the second data media card, either of which follows the transportation path connecting to the card slot. The first data media issuing path section and the temporary card holding unit form an elevator unit in a single block.
摘要:
A deflection yoke including a separator for holding a horizontal deflection coil and/or a vertical deflection coil, wherein the separator is formed by a combination of a separator main body formed into an approximately funnel shape similar to the contour of the horizontal deflection coil or the vertical deflection coil, and an approximately cylindrically shaped neck portion, formed separately from the separator main body, for holding the horizontal deflection coil and the vertical deflection coil on a neck of a cathode-ray tube. The deflection yoke is simpler in shape and easier to assemble.
摘要:
Exhaust purifying filter material which can carry a larger amount of catalyst and from which the catalyst will not easily drop off even if subjected to vibrations or temperature changes due to repeated heating and cooling at high temperatures. Catalyst is carried on alumina whiskers formed on metal fiber having a composition of Fe--Ni--Cr--Al, Fe--Cr--Al or Ni--Cr--Al or woven or unwoven fabric formed of the metal fiber. The catalyst is firmly carried by the alumina whiskers. The amount of catalyst carried is increased with the increase in surface area.
摘要:
A porous metal body is produced by forming a coating film of one or more metal capable of forming a eutectic alloy at temperatures not higher than the melting point of Al on a foamed resin skeleton having a three-dimensional network structure according to the plating, vapor deposition, sputtering, CVD or other vapor phase process, impregnating the foamed resin having the coating film formed thereon with a paste comprising powdery Al, a binder and an organic solvent as principal components to thereby obtain a paste-coated composite and heating the composite at a temperature ranging from 550.degree. C. to 750.degree. C. in a nonoxidizing atmosphere. The resultant porous metal body has a large effective surface area and a high space utilization factor and exhibits excellent performance in uses in filters and battery plates.
摘要:
A composite card reader (11) used for IC cards, magnetic cards and the like to which the card is manually inserted and extracted is disclosed. The composite type card reader (11) has a shutter lever (28) for opening and closing a card inlet (13), a locking mechanism for locking the card by closing the shutter lever (28), and a lock releasing mechanism for releasing the lock by opening the shutter lever (28). A shutter closing lever (32) included in the locking mechanism and a shutter opening lever (30) included in the lock releasing mechanism can be alternately engaged with a roller (38) included in a link mechanism (29) coupled to the shutter lever (28). In order to maintain the lock released state by the lock releasing mechanism, a shutter linked lever (80) which is moved in relation to the shutter lever (28) has its position regulated by a slider (19) which slides in response to the insertion of the card (12). A controlling portion including a CPU (1 ) is provided, which prohibits operation of the locking mechanism when insertion of a magnetic card is detected by a magnetic head (26). The magnetic head (26) is supported by a frame (62) having a projection (69) on one end, which can swing with a contact point between the projection (69) and a support base (65) being a support point of swinging.
