Abstract:
A manufacturing method of an electrode paste for alkaline storage batteries includes a first kneading step and a second kneading step. In the first kneading step, a first powder with an average particle size ranging between 0.1 μm and 5 μm and polysaccharide are kneaded. In the second kneading step, a first mixture prepared in the first kneading step and a second powder with an average particle size ranging between 8 μm and 35 μm are kneaded.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an alkaline storage battery excellent in high-rate charge and discharge characteristics, and a hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrode suitable for the battery and a method for producing the same. The hydrogen-absorbing alloy is preferably produced by wet grinding in water a hydrogen-absorbing alloy having at least one rare earth element, nickel and at least one transition metal element, treating the resulting alloy powders in an aqueous alkali solution, and then consecutively treating the powders in an acidic aqueous solution. The hydrogen-absorbing alloy powders have a structure of a nickel-condensed layer being exposed and have many pores.
Abstract:
A recording medium heating device that can heat and dry a continuous recording medium, includes multiple heating rollers, including respective heaters, disposed on a conveying path of the recording medium; and a controller to control the heaters of the heating rollers. In a starting period during which the recording medium heating device is started, the controller sets temperatures of the heaters to starting temperatures where a temperature of a heating roller positioned closest to an exit side of the conveying path is lower than a temperature of a heating roller positioned away from the exit side of the conveying path.
Abstract:
An alkaline storage battery including a strip-shaped porous metal substrate and a material mixture filled into the substrate. The substrate has an unfilled portion where the material mixture is not filled along at least one of two longitudinal sides of the substrate. The substrate has a weight per unit area of 150 to 350 g/m2. The material mixture contains an active material and an elastic polymer.

Abstract:
A breathable seat comprises a seat body formed of urethane foam, a three-dimensional network cushion body incorporated in that region of the seat body which bears a user's body, a seat cover having breathability, and a pan frame. The cushion body is formed of a large number of continuous linear elements of thermoplastic resin. The linear elements are looped windingly so that their respective contact portions are fused together. The seat body is formed having venting holes that penetrate the urethane foam in its thickness direction. The venting holes communicate with the cushion body and apertures of the pan frame. The seat cover envelops the seat body and the cushion body.
Abstract:
A cushion manufacturing apparatus comprises a plurality of nozzles for continuously discharging a softened thermoplastic resin, thereby looping a plurality of continuous filaments with the respective contact portions thereof bonded together, first guide portions (41, 42) for moving the continuous filaments inward from opposite surfaces in the thickness direction of the cushion member as the filaments are looped, and second guide portions (43, 44) for moving the filaments inward from the opposite sides of the cushion member. The guide portions (41, 42; 43, 44) are provided with a plurality of rollers (50, 52, 60, 62) individually having outer peripheral surfaces projected or recessed corresponding to the outline of the profile of the cushion member and belts (54, 55, 64, 65) stretched between the rollers and capable of endlessly running to change the respective shapes thereof depending on the respective shapes of the outer peripheral surfaces of the rollers, thereby forming the shaping guide surfaces (56, 57, 66, 67).

Abstract:
The invention relates to an optical switch which is used for connecting or switching light (optical signals) by utilizing optical fibers. An optical fiber tape (6) is fixed on an optical fiber placing base (2) by an adhesive agent. A plurality of slave side optical fibers (3) are caused to protrude from the optical fiber tape (6). plurality of V grooves (5) are formed at the front edge side of the slave side optical fibers (3), a groove formed member 1 which has the master optical fiber (4) fixed in the V grooves thereof is provided. The master optical fiber (4) is caused to move in the X and Y directions in the drawing, integral with the groove-formed member (1) by a master movement mechanism 25, whereby the connection end face side of the slave side optical fibers (3) is selectively inserted in the V groove (5a), and the master optical fiber (4) and slave side optical fibers (3) are optically connected to each other in a switchable state by the master optical fiber (4) being opposite the connection end face of the slave side optical fibers (3) in the V groove (5a). When they are optically connected to each other, the connection end face sides of the master optical fiber (4) and the slave side optical fibers 3 are pressed to, pinched in and retained in the V groove (5a) by a pressing member.
Abstract:
A sheet stacker includes a housing, a fence, a first distance measurement sensor, and a second distance measurement sensor. The fence is movable in a fence moving direction on the housing and is configured to regulate a position of an end of a sheet. The first distance measurement sensor is configured to measure a distance between the fence and a first portion of the housing, the first portion being on one side of the housing with respect to the fence in the fence moving direction. The second distance measurement sensor is configured to measure a distance between the fence and a second portion of the housing, the second portion being on another side of the housing with respect to the fence in the fence moving direction.
