  • Publication number: 20240136519
    Abstract: The positive electrode active material disclosed here includes: first lithium composite oxide particles in the form of single particles; and second lithium composite oxide particles in the form of secondary particles. When in a volume-based particle size distribution obtained by a laser diffraction scattering method, a 10%-particle size (D10) is a particle size with a cumulative frequency of 10%, a 50%-particle size (D50) is a particle size with a cumulative frequency of 50%, and a 90%-particle size (D90) is a particle size with a cumulative frequency of 90%, a 50%-particle size of the second lithium composite oxide particles is larger than that of the first lithium composite oxide particles, and a particle size distribution width of the second lithium composite oxide particles expressed by (D90-D10)/D50 is 0.50 to 0.65.

  • Patent number: 11543576
    Abstract: An alarm indicator (4) is provided with a light guiding member (41), a first light source (42) and a transmissive member (43). The light guiding member (41) extends in a first direction that is parallel to a display screen in which medical information is displayed. The first light source (42) faces an end face (41a) of the light guiding member (41) in the first direction. The transmissive member (43) covers the light guiding member (41) from a second direction intersecting with the first direction. The light guiding member (41) is provided with a light reflecting portion and an outer face (41d). The light reflecting portion extends in the first direction and reflects the light incident from the end face (41a) at least toward the second direction intersecting with the first direction. The light reflected by the reflecting portion is emitted from the outer face (41d) while being diffused.

  • Patent number: 7993563
    Abstract: Provided is a high manufacturing method of the production efficiency for a wood cement board that has a pattern of recesses and projections. The method for making a wood cement board having a pattern of recesses and projections on its surface, comprising: dispersing a raw material mixture onto a template provided with recesses corresponding to the portions of the wood cement board on which projections are formed, while conveying the template, thereby forming a mat; pressurizing only a section of the mat raw material mixture that is layered on the recesses of the template from above; leveling the surface of the partly pressurized mat; and pressing the resulting mat and the template together, followed by hardening and curing.

  • Publication number: 20090242728
    Abstract: Provided is a wood cement board that has a pattern of acute-angled and deep recesses and projections on its surface, and that tends not to cause cracking during a hardening and curing process, a drying process, a transportation process and so on. The wood cement board has a pattern of recesses and projections on its surface, in which the distance from the apex of the projections to the rear face is 9 mm or more, and the distance from the apex of the projections to the base point of the recesses is 2 mm or more, and is equal to or less than half the distance from the apex of the projections to the rear face. The average specific gravity of the wood cement board as a whole, and the specific gravities of the projections and the recesses are each 1.1 or more, and the difference between the specific gravity of the projections and the specific gravity of the recesses is less than 0.1.

  • Patent number: 7499944
    Abstract: The present invention provides a dimension table processing apparatus that efficiently derives a dimension hierarchy for a denormalized dimension table. The first information presenting means presents information on a plurality of fact tables included in a multidimensional database to an administrator as first information. The second information presenting means receives a fact table selected by the administrator from among the fact tables related to the first information, and presents information on dimension tables associated with the selected fact table in a star schema to the administrator as second information.
