Abstract: A mixture of rare earth elements, in which La is comprised from 75 to 90 wt% of rare earth elements, with the balance being Ce, Nd, Pr and other rare earth elements (the mixture being referred to as a highly lanthanum-rich misch metal, and is hereinafter designated Lm), is used to produce a hydrogen absorbing alloy having a composition represented by LmNi x-A-B Co A Al B , Lm 1-x Zr x Ni Y-A-B Co A Al B , or Lm 1-x Zr x Ni Y-A-B-C Co A Mn B Al C . By using these hydrogen absorbing alloys as negative electrode materials, nickel metal hydride secondary batteries can be fabricated that have a large discharge capacity and that also have excellent cycle life and high rate discharge characteristics. Such electrode characteristics that are balanced between the aspects of discharge capacity and cycle life have heretofore been unattainable by either La alone or a misch metal having a relatively low La content or a conventional lanthanum-rich misch metal. The newly developed alloys will not deteriorate in characteristics even if they are stored under adverse conditions for a prolonged time and hence are capable of supplying batteries having consistent quality. The starting material Lm for these alloys is relatively inexpensive and it contains reasonable amounts of Ce, Nd and Pr which are effective in extending the cycle life. This permits the adoption of alloy compositions in which expensive Co is used in a smaller amount. Hence, the alloys have high practical value for use as inexpensive hydrogen absorbing electrode materials.

Abstract: A diamond-like carbon film is deposited on an insulating substrate using a solid carbon source evaporated by an electron beam so as to maintain the substrate temperature below about 150° C in a differentially evacuated chamber containing a selective etchant gas such as hydrogen. In order to bombard the substrate with positively charged ions while preventing accumulation of a repulsive surface charge, a radio frequency (RF) electric field is applied to a rotating fixture holding the substrate. The differentially evacuated chamber maintains the atmospheric pressure around the solid carbon source at one end of the chamber at a sufficiently low pressure to prevent loss of electron beam energy and thereby enable vaporization of the carbon while maintaining the substrate at the other end of the chamber at a higher pressure which enables the RF electric field to excite an ion gas plasma around the substrate and thereby facilitate deposition of the diamond-like carbon film. In the preferred embodiment, the differentially evacuated chamber has a bypass manifold connected between the two ends of the chamber. A control system responding to pressure sensing apparatus inside the chamber governs the position of a butterfly valve in the bypass manifold to regulate the differential pressure in the chamber. In order to keep the substrate temperature below about 150°, the rotating fixture holding the substrate is water-cooled.

Abstract: This invention relates to a transverse discharge pumping type pulse laser oscillating device including an electron capturing gas, especially to the configuration of preliminary ionization electrodes (4a, 4b, 8a, 8b). A transverse discharge exciting type pulse laser oscillating device according to this invention has preliminary ionization parts such that the dominant parts of corona discharge are directed to the part between main electrodes (1, 2) and the developing lengths (1) of the corona discharge are long. The long developing lengths (1) increase the quantity of emitted ultraviolet rays and the electrodes (4a, 4b, 8a, 8b) are so arranged that the air between the main electrodes (1, 2) is irradiated with ultraviolet rays emitted from near the initiating regions of the corona discharge the initiating regions emitting light whose intensity is greater than those of other regions in the corona discharges. Thereby a homogeneous main discharge is obtained and the efficiency of the laser oscillation is improved.
