  • Patent number: 9318747
    Abstract: This electrode is provided with a thin metal sheet and an active substance layer containing, on the surface of the thin metal sheet, multiple active substance particles of a prescribed average particle diameter. The surface of the thin metal sheet includes a forming region where the active substance layer is located. In the forming region, the thin metal sheet has a depressed section in the surface. A portion of the active substance particles is present in at least a part of the depression, and the average distance between the centers of two neighboring particles of these active substance particles present in at least a part of the depression is 60-98% of the aforementioned average particle diameter.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8277952
    Abstract: A sliding member for a compressor includes a base metal, a first layer and a second layer. The base metal is made of an aluminum-based metal. The first layer is formed on or over the base metal and made of a nickel-based plating layer containing at least one material of nitrogen (N), silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr) and aluminum (Al) as an additive. The second layer is formed on the surface of the first layer and made of a diamond-like carbon layer containing the same additive as the additive contained in the first layer.
