Patent number: 10969312Abstract: Provided are a striking device and a natural frequency measuring device capable of simply and accurately measuring a natural frequency of a system including force detector. The striking device includes an arm capable of swinging around a spindle, and a steel ball arranged in an end part of the arm on a side opposite to the spindle. The spindle is supported by a supporting part capable of lifting up and down relative to a post erected on a magnet stand. A supporting part for supporting a supporting plate is arranged at a position in the post and above the supporting part. A permanent magnet is placed above the supporting plate. The steel ball falls down in an arc shape from a standby height position when the permanent magnet is removed.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2019Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignees: SHIMADZU CORPORATION, Osaka Research Institute of Industrial Science and Technology, City of Nagoya, AKITA PREFECTUREInventors: Tadaoki Takii, Masaki Nishimura, Satoshi Taniguchi, Mitsuhiko Kimura, Norifumi Kasai

Patent number: 9520595Abstract: A negative electrode for a lithium-ion secondary cell is configured in a novel manner, having a charge-discharge capacity, as determined per unit weight of the carbon used in the electrode, that is markedly higher than the theoretical capacity of graphite, and having a surface that is stabilized against repeated charging and discharging. A negative electrode for a lithium-ion secondary cell in which a carbon layer obtained by building up and growing a graphene sheet is formed on the surface of a substrate comprising an iron-based metal, the carbon layer being formed in a diagonal direction in relation to the substrate, and the carbon layer being used as the surface of the negative electrode. As measured using an argon laser having a wavelength of 532 nm, the Raman spectrum of the graphite that constitutes the carbon nanochip layer has a g/d ratio of 0.30-0.80.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2013Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignees: SANGO Co., Ltd., CITY OF NAGOYAInventors: Kouichi Izuhara, Makoto Daifuku, Yasushi Miyata

Patent number: 9368795Abstract: Provided is a negative electrode having a new structure for realizing a lithium secondary battery having increased charging/discharging capacities and a battery capacity that is reduced less due to repeated charging/discharging. The negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery includes a current collector substrate; a carbon nanochips layer including graphene sheets grown to incline in irregular directions independently from the current collector substrate; and a silicon thin film layer on the carbon nanochips layer, in which gaps among the carbon nanochips are formed between the silicon thin film layer and the current collector substrate. The Raman spectrum of graphite forming the carbon nanochips layer has a g/d ratio of 0.30 to 0.80, both inclusive, and the crystallinity level of the graphite is lower than that of graphite forming carbon nanowalls. The carbon nanochips layer can be formed by a plasma CVD method using a gaseous mixture of methane and hydrogen, for example.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2013Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignees: SANGO CO., LTD., CITY OF NAGOYAInventors: Kouichi Izuhara, Makoto Daifuku, Yasushi Miyata
