POSITIVE ELECTRODE ACTIVE MATERIAL, POSITIVE ELECTRODE, AND NONAQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE SECONDARY BATTERY
Publication number: 20240136519Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Masaya SAITO, Akihiro TABUSHI, Takatoshi HIGUCHI -
Patent number: 11543576Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: NIHON KOHDEN CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuya Kamimura, Kazunori Yoshifuku, Masaya Higuchi, Takahiro Hasegawa

Publication number: 20090242728Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2009Publication date: October 1, 2009Applicant: NICHIHA CORPORATIONInventors: Yuji YAMAZAKI, Masaya Higuchi, Yoshinori Hibino
