An electrode roll drying device includes a drying oven housing an electrode roll, an outer-side heater configured to heat the electrode roll, an axial-side heater configured to heat the electrode roll, a pressure reducer configured to reduce internal pressure of the drying oven, a sensor configured to detect a temperature of an outermost portion of the electrode roll, and a control unit configured to control operation of the outer-side heater, the axial-side heater, and the pressure reducer. The control unit is configured to operate the outer-side heater and the axial-side heater to heat the electrode roll from the outer-side and winding core side, and, when the temperature of an outermost portion reaches a target temperature, stop operation of the outer-side heater, operate the pressure reducer to reduce the pressure within the drying oven, and carry out the heating by the axial-side heater and the pressure reduction by the pressure reducer.

Metal foil base material placed on lower blade is first restricted under pressure by lower blade and pad and then cut by a shearing action based on an engagement of lower blade side cutting edge and upper blade side cutting edge. Resin face sheets are fixed to the top surface of lower blade and the pressing surface of pad, the face sheets having a larger friction coefficient than that of these surfaces. By frictional forces imparted by face sheets, metal foil base material is prevented from being dragged and moved by the pressing force of the upper blade prior to cutting. Consequently, the occurrence of 'burr', 'roll-up', and so forth is eliminated thereby ensuring a good cutting quality.

A conveyor is provided with a supply roll, a corrective holding part and an additional holding part. The supply roll rotatably supports a belt-shaped cell material for an electrode or a separator. The corrective holding part conveys and holds the cell material fed out from the supply roll while bending a first side surface of the cell material that lies against an outer peripheral side of the supply roll into a concave shape. The additional holding part conveys and holds the cell material while bending a second side surface of the cell material into a concave shape. The holding parts include a curved contact surfaces that contact opposite side surface of the cell material. The curved contact surface of the corrective holding part has a radius of curvature that is less than a radius of curvature of the curved contact surface of the additional holding part.

Provision of a novel platinum complex which is useful as a material for a light-emitting device of good light emission characteristic and light emission efficiency, and a novel light-emitting material that may be utilized in various fields. A platinum complex represented by the following general formula (1): (in which two rings of ring A, ring B, ring C, and ring D represent nitrogen-containing heterocyclic rings which may have a substituent and the remaining two rings of them represent aryl rings or hetero aryl rings which may have a substituent, the ring A and the ring B, the ring A and the ring C or/and the ring B and the rind D may form condensed rings. Two of X, X, X, and Xrepresent nitrogen atoms coordination bonded to a platinum atom and the remaining two of them represent carbon atoms or nitrogen atoms. Q, Q, and Qeach represents a bond, oxygen atom, sulfur atom or bivalent group, two of Z, Z, Z, and Zrepresent coordination bonds, and the remaining two of them represent covalent bonds, oxygen atoms or sulfur atoms), and a light-emitting device containing the platinum complex.
