Abstract:
Disclosed is an alkaline storage battery, in which the negative electrode is constituted by a hydrogen absorbing alloy capable of absorbing/desorbing hydrogen electrochemically, and a hydrophobic material is provided in the space between the surface of the negative electrode and the separator while a hydrophilic material is provided in the inside of the negative electrode, thereby properly secure both wetting property and surface hydrophobic property of the negative electrode against the alkaline electrolytic solution. Accordingly, a hydrogen gas generated in charging the battery can be absorbed by a vapor phase reaction in the hydrophobic portion in the surface of the negative electrode which is exposed to the vapor phase and can be absorbed electrochemically in the Portion of the negative electrode which is wetted by the electrolytic solution, so that the inner pressure of the battery can be reduced to thereby make it possible to perform quick charging.

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a metal container by attaching a body formed integral with a top cover to a bottom plate formed separately. The body and bottom plate are sealably attached together with an adhesive and by a tight curl. The tight curl is formed toward the interior of the container and not exposed outside, thus making it pleasing to the eye.

Abstract:
A timepiece includes a hairspring for storing the energy provided by a step motor driving circuit and a rotor immersed in a viscous fluid controls the energy released by the hairspring to provide a constant driving force for turning the display hands of the timepiece. A frequency divider circuit counts the number of clock signals produced by an oscillator. During time correction when the hands are prevented from being driven by the energy stored in the hairspring the frequency divider retains at least a portion of the count. A recoil torque provided by the hairspring and a load torque provided by the rotor are substantially balanced at all times including immediately after the time correction activities. Time delay especially immediately following the time correction activities is avoided.

Abstract:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device has an address decoder which is constructed of a plurality of MOSFETs implemented in a switch tree. The switch tree includes first and second switch tree portions which are controlled `on` and `off` by the same input signals. A first switch branch in the first switch tree portion, which is constructed of a comparatively small number of MOSFETs, and a second switch branch in the second switch tree portion, which is constructed of a comparatively large number of MOSFETs, are controlled `one` and `off` by the same input signal, while a second switch branch in the first switch tree portion, which is constructed of a comparatively large number of MOSFETs, and a first switch branch in the second switch tree portion, which is constructed of a comparatively small number of MOSFETs, are controlled `on` and `off` by the same input signal. This construction is effective to lessen an increase in the number of MOSFETs which are to be coupled to the input lines of the address decoder.
