Inventor: MIZUNO TAKASHI C O IWAKIJIGYOS
IPC: H01M4/24
Filed: 1993-06-11
Abstract: A hydrogen-occlusion electrode and a method of manufacturing thereof are described. The hydrogen-occlusion electrode comprises a hydrogen-occlusion alloy accounting for 42-84 vol.%, a bonding material PVdF for 3-13 vol.%, an electroconductive material for 3-15 vol.% and residual pores for 10-30 vo.%, and an average particle size of the electroconductive material is 1.3 µm or less, and the bonding material in the electrode is heat-treated. The hydrogen-occlusion electrode provides improved battery performance characteristics including charge-discharge cycle, discharge characteristics, and so on. In manufacturing the foregoing hydrogen-occlusion electrode, a formed electrode plate body including PVdF as a bonding material is manufactured, and is thereafter heat-treated in a vacuum or inert gas atmosphere at a temperature ranging from about 160 to about 200°C, so that there is obtained an electrode preventing the alloy particles from falling off therefrom, result- in an improvement of the mechanical strength and electro-conductivity thereof. When a hydrogen-occlusion electrode includes a thickener amounting to 0.5 wt.% or less based on the weight of the hydrogen-occlusion alloy, there is resulted in an improvement of the cahrge-discharge characteristics and the internal pressure of the battery.

Abstract: A device is described for removing tobacco particles from a strand conveyor (3) of a cigarette strand machine with the transfer of a tobacco strand from the strand conveyor to a formatting device (4), which has a base body (19) for insertion into the strand machine in the strand intake region of the formatting device (4) and a removal edge (26) which can be positioned in a removal position relative to the strand conveyor (3). The removal edge (26) is coated, at least in its region which interacts with the strand conveyor (3) in the removal of the tobacco particles, with a coating (27) of polycrystalline diamond. The coating of the removal device with polycrystalline diamond offers the advantage of a longer service life and, because of longer intervals between replacements of the removal device, an increased cost-effectiveness of the machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: An organic, positive-charging photoconductor for laser printers is disclosed. The photoconductor has a conductive substrate, a hydroxy-containing binder which forms a layer greater than or equal to about 1 micron thick on the substrate, a phthalocyanine pigment uniformly distributed throughout said binder, and a reactive stabilizer containing silicon, also uniformly distributed throughout said binder. The silicon-containing stabilizer reacts with the hydroxy group in the binder, the effect of which is to improve the electrical stability of the photoconductor in the severe laser printing electrophotographic environment, and to improve surface release characteristics of the photoconductor for more efficient toner image transfer.

Abstract: Méthode de prélèvement et de détermination de la présence de certains résidus d'agents contaminants dans des récipients. Cette méthode comprend les étapes suivantes: injection d'air comprimé dans le conteneur afin de déplacer une partie au moins de son contenu; extraction d'un échantillon du contenu du récipient ainsi déplacé par l'exercice d'une succion; et analyse de l'échantillon extrait pour déterminer la présence ou l'absence de certains résidus. L'air comprimé est injecté par une buse par une ouverture du récipient, de manière à en déplacer au moins une partie du contenu et former un brouillard qui sera au moins en partie extrait du récipient par aspiration avant d'être analysé pour dépister la présence éventuelle d'agents contaminants tels que des composés azotés ou des hydrocarbures. Selon l'un des modes de réalisation, près de 90 % de l'échantillon évacué est détourné de l'analyseur pour être retourné dans le circuit de l'injecteur d'air. Un vaste éventail d'agents contaminants peuvent être détectés lorsque des bouteilles de boisson sont stockées sans être capsulées avant d'être testées pour laisser aux matières volatiles présentes dans la boisson le temps de se dissiper.
