Abstract: An information storage medium has a base portion and a code storage portion. The code storage portion is disposed on the base portion and contains an infrared absorber which absorbs substantially only infrared rays within a narrow wavelength band. If a real information storage medium is produced like that, subject mediums are judged real or not by a method includes the steps of emitting rays to the subject medium, receiving rays reflected from the subject medium, detecting a first reflectance at the peak absorption wavelength and a second reflectance at a comparison wavelength near the peak wavelength, and judging if the subject medium is real or not. The rays at the comparison wavelength are not very much absorbed by the absorber.

Abstract: An inorganic nonaqueous electrolytic solution cell containing an oxyhalide which is in a liquid state at room temperature as a positive electrode active material, and a solvent of an electrolytic solution and an alkali metal as a negative electrode active material, in which the electrolytic solution contains a tertiary or quaternary organic silane compound, and a Lewis acid is dissolved in the electrolytic solution in an amount larger than a stoichiometric equivalent of a Lewis base which comprises a halide of an alkali metal present in the electrolytic solution.
