A nonaqueous electrolyte batter includes: an electrode body having at least a positive electrode and a negative electrode; a cylindrical container with its bottom closed, in which the electrode body and a nonaqueous electrolytic solution are contained; and a lid body for closing an opening portion of the container. The lid body has a lid portion which constitutes a peripheral edge portion of the lid body, a projecting portion which constitutes a central portion of the lid body, and a stepped portion which has a vent hole and is positioned between the lid portion and the projecting portion. A metal plate having a through-hole is disposed between the lid body and the electrolyte body. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the movement of the battery by a motive force generated when a decomposition gas generated in an abnormal state is discharged to the outside of the battery.

Nonaqueous electrolyte battery and production method thereof

There is provided a printer head in an ink jet printer that includes: a quantification medium pressuring chamber where a quantification medium is introduced; a discharge medium pressuring chamber where a discharge medium is introduced; a quantification medium nozzle communicating with the quantification medium pressuring chamber; a discharge medium nozzle communicating with the discharge medium pressuring chamber, the discharge medium nozzle being disposed to adjoin the quantification medium nozzle; and a first pressure generating element pulling the quantification medium pushed out of the quantification medium nozzle into the discharge medium nozzle to form a mixed solution by contacting the quantification medium in the discharge medium nozzle through a surface where the quantification medium nozzle opens, wherein the first pressure generating element then generates a pressure for discharging the mixed solution from the discharge medium nozzle.

There is disclosed a molding die which can prevent or restrain a wedge-like deformation from being formed at an outer peripheral portion of an optical recording disk. The molding die is for molding a thin circular plate optical recording disk by injecting a molten thermosetting resin in a cavity, and an outer peripheral member coming in contact with a portion which becomes an outer peripheral surface of the optical recording disk is made of a material having a thermal conductivity lower than a thermal conductivity of a material of an opposite member coming in contact with a portion which becomes a main surface of the optical recording disk, that is, a stamper, a stationary mirror, and a movable mirror.

The present invention provides a printer which enables to prevent dispersion of a quantitative medium in a discharge medium during a wait period of time, so as to realize an accurate quantification of the quantitative medium to be mixed with the discharge medium, which enables an accurate gradation expression. The printer includes a printing head having quantitative nozzle communicating with a quantitative medium pressure chamber into which a quantitative medium is introduced and a discharge medium nozzle communicating with a discharge medium pressure chamber into which a discharge medium is introduced. The quantitative medium is made to seep out from the quantitative medium nozzle toward the discharge medium nozzle and after this, the discharge medium is discharged from the discharge medium nozzle to be mixed with the quantitative medium so that the mixture obtained is discharged. The quantitative medium nozzle have an opening of, for example, a crescent shape, i.e., a circular shape with a cut-off portion, and is positioned in such a manner that the nearest point on the opening end of the quantitative medium nozzle from the center of figure of the quantitative medium nozzle faces the discharge medium nozzle which opens adjacently.
