Abstract: To provide a method of manufacturing a battery capable of providing an equal amount of electrolyte in each battery and of enhancing productivity and coating machines employed thereof. The sensor detects a boundary from the collector exposed region C of the belt-shaped positive electrode to the positive electrode mixture layer exposed region B, on the basis of the detection timing, the shutter is withdrawn to open the flowing path and the proportioning pomp is driven. Following this, when the sensor detected a boundary from the positive electrode mixture layer exposed region B to a collector exposed region C, and on the basis of the detection timing, the shutter is protruded inside the flowing path to close the flowing path and the proportioning pump stops. As a result of this, the electrolyte stops to be delivered from the nozzle. The electrolyte layers are intermittently formed by repeating the same procedures.

Abstract: An improved method is proposed for the preparation of a semiconductor silicon single crystal of N-type by the Czochralski process, which is free from the problem of occurrence of delayed OSFs as defects in the single crystal even after prolonged storage at room temperature based on the discovery that presence of a certain amount of aluminum in the melt of silicon contained in a fused silica glass crucible acts to suppress occurrence of delayed OSFs as a type of defects in the single crystal while copper as an impurity acts adversely in this regard. With a known fact that an about 30 .mu.m thick inner surface layer of the crucible is melted down into the silicon melt during the single crystal pulling-up process, namely, the invention proposes use of a crucible of which the inner surface layer of 30 .mu.m thickness contains aluminum in an average concentration of 40 to 500 ppm by weight while the content of copper is as low as possible not to exceed 0.5 ppb by weight.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved flywheel for damping vibrations in a coating roll. The improved flywheel has an inner plate and an outer plate and sandwiched between the two plates are alternating rings of a solid body material such as aluminum or steel and conventional vibration damping material.
