Abstract: Disclosed is an electrical contact having high electrical conductivity for a compact electromagnetic relay including an internally oxidized silver-oxide material which is prepared by subjecting an Ag alloy having a composition consisting essentially of, by weight, 5.1 to 9% Sn, 1.5 to 5% In, and 0.005 to 0.06% Bi, with the balance being Ag and unavoidable impurities, to an internal oxidation treatment and then subjecting to a heat treatment for diffusion, aggregation, and growth of precipitated oxides, wherein the internally oxidized silver-oxide material has a metallographic structure such that coarse grains of composite oxides are dispersed and distributed in an Ag matrix, the coarse grains of composite oxides being formed as a result of coarsening of ultra-fine grains of Sn-based oxides and ultra-fine grains of In-based oxides, which are precipitated by the internal oxidation treatment, by the heat treatment for diffusion, aggregation, and growth of the precipitated oxides.

Abstract: There is described a garbage disposal apparatus including a storage drum for storing garbage and having a meshed bottom, and an agitation and mixing mechanism disposed within the storage drum, the agitation and mixing mechanism stirring and mixing together garbage and microorganism-carrying carriers, and the garbage being fermented and decomposed, wherein a water-spraying mechanism is disposed beneath the meshed bottom of the storage drum and squirts water to the meshed bottom from outside of the storage drum.

Abstract: A structure of internal combustion engine comprises a cylinder member composed of a cylinder which accomodates a piston connected with a crankshaft, a crankcase provided to accomodate said crankshaft, a rocker case provided to accomodate a valve actuating mechanism, an oil return passage constituting means for leading oil in said rocker case into said crankcase, and a restraining means for restraining an air flow within said crankcase from entering into said oil return passage constituting means. By the effect of the restraining means provided in relation to the oil return passage constituting means, the air flow generated by the rotation of the crankshaft does not work as a dynamic pressure of hingering the flowingdown of oil.
