Abstract:
An air battery includes: a positive electrode for utilizing oxygen as active material; a negative electrode for adsorbing and desorbing a metal ion, which includes at least one of Li, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe and Al; and a non-aqueous electrolyte disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The non-aqueous electrolyte includes ion liquid. When the non-aqueous electrolyte includes the ion liquid, the oxide generated by the discharging step is effectively decomposed. Thus, the battery has excellent cycle characteristics.
Abstract:
A transparent electrode layer, an organic EL layer, and a metallic electrode layer are stacked on top of each other in layers on the lower surface of a transparent substrate to form a planar light emitting element region in a light emitting device. A light beam which is emitted from the light emitting element region and incident on the transparent substrate is transmitted out from a display region as well as a light transmitting region formed near an edge of the transparent substrate. Thus, the light emitting device is enabled to facilitate fabrication and make an effective use of the entire surface of the transparent substrate as the light transmitting region.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a game system to present a larger amount of information for fish arrangement to a player. In the game system with a control device to progress a fishing game in a virtual fishing spot, referring to outputs of an input device, and to display images on a screen of a display device according to a progressing states of the above fishing game, the above device decides a fish arrangement in the above virtual fishing spot; detects fish distribution in a detection range defined on a line connecting two positions in the above fishing spot; displays a gauge extending in a direction of one axis on a screen of the above display device; and displays information according to a detected result of the above fish distribution at each position on the above detection range, replacing a distance from one end of the above detection range to each position within the above detection range with a distance from one end of the above gauge to each position in the pertinent gauge.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a communication system in a network system having a plurality of user terminals connected to a communication network and a plurality of network resources accessed by the user terminals, the communication system having a communication part which makes the user terminals accessing the same network resource exchange and share communication information. The communication part has a communication server and a communication controlling part, provided in each user terminal, for obtaining information of the user terminals accessing the same network resource and for exchanging the communication information with the user terminals through the communication server. The communication server groups the user terminals accessing the same network resource as one group on the basis of resource locators notified of by the user terminals, and distributes information of the user terminals of the one group to the user terminals of the one group.
Abstract:
An all-solid-state battery includes: a positive electrode having a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode layer on the positive electrode current collector; a negative electrode having a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode layer on the negative electrode current collector; and an electrolyte between the positive and negative electrodes.

The base portion is made of a second solid-state electrolyte having lithium ionic conductivity in a continuous phase. The active material portion is dispersed in the base portion, and includes a positive electrode active material. The first and second solid-state electrolytes are lithium ionic conductive material having a hydride solid-state electrolyte, respectively.
Abstract:
A mattress having a top surface, a bottom surface which is opposite of and parallel to the top surface, and a right side wall, a left side wall, a first end wall and a second end wall, the right, left, bottom and top side walls being perpendicular to and extending between the top and bottom surface of the mattress. A single extended length mattress handle is attached horizontally along a substantial length of each opposing side wall of the mattress. The extended length mattress handles are sewn onto the mattress at two or more connection points and preferably at three or more points or areas on each mattress side wall. In one embodiment, the length of the mattress handles is less than the length of the side wall to which it is attached. In a second embodiment, the length of the mattress handles is greater than the length of the mattress and the handle wraps around each corner and extends onto the adjacent end wall or walls. The extended length and horizontal arrangement of the handles facilitates easier gripping and handling of the mattress.
