Title: Lithium titanate comprising secondary particles
Inventor: MORIYAMA NARIAKI
IPC: H01M4/485
Filed: 2010-05-25
Abstract: Disclosed is lithium titanate having excellent rate properties and useful for electricity storage devices, which is produced by preparing lithium titanate secondary particles that are aggregates of lithium titanate primary particles and forming at least macro-pores on the surfaces of the secondary particles. The lithium titanate can be produced by a process which comprises drying and granulating a slurry comprising crystalline titan oxide, a titanic acid compound and a lithium compound and firing the granulated product to thereby produce lithium titanate secondary particles, wherein (1) the crystalline titan oxide to be used comprises at least two types of crystalline titan oxide particles having different average particle diameters from each other, and/or (2) the crystalline titan oxide is used in an amount at least four-fold larger than that of the titanic acid compound in terms of TiO2 content by weight. The lithium titanate can achieve a satisfactory level of charge-discharge capacity for practical uses when used in a electricity storage device without requiring the use of a carbon-containing substance, such as carbon black, acethylene black or Ketjen black, as an electrically conductive material in combination, in spite of a fact that lithium titanate has an electrically insulating properties by nature.

Abstract: A portable printer having improved ergonomic and operational characteristics. The printer includes an asymmetrically-damped media centering mechanism having first and second media support members moveable along a common longitudinal axis and configured to grasp roll media. The media support members are coupled to a reciprocal movement mechanism configured to translate a longitudinal movement of the first media support member into a corresponding opposite longitudinal movement of the second media support member. A pivoting arm is coupled to the reciprocal movement mechanism. The pivoting arm pivots to a first position when the first and second media support members are moved closer to each other, which causes a damping gear to engage the reciprocal movement mechanism, thereby damping the grasping motion of the media support members and providing an improved user experience. The printer facilitates one-handed operation, including one-handed loading and unloading of media, enabling its use in a variety of environments.
