Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a sulfide solid electrolyte having a high purity as side reaction hardly occurs, and having a high ionic conductivity, in a simplified manner. The method is for producing a sulfide solid electrolyte containing a lithium atom, a sulfur atom, a phosphorus atom and a halogen atom, comprising separately preparing a complex (1) containing a sulfide that contains a lithium atom, a sulfur atom and a phosphorus atom, as a constituent element, and a complex (2) containing a halide that contains a lithium atom and a halogen atom, as a constituent element, and mixing the complex (1) and the complex (2).

Abstract: Provided are a method of manufacturing a modified sulfide solid electrolyte, which is excellent in coating suitability when applied as a paste even if a sulfide solid electrolyte has a large specific surface area, and can efficiently exhibit an excellent battery performance, the modified sulfide solid electrolyte obtained by the manufacturing method, and an electrode combined material and a lithium ion battery which exhibit an excellent battery performance. The method includes: mixing an organic halide and an organic solvent with a sulfide solid electrolyte having a BET specific surface area of 10 m2/g or more and containing a lithium atom, a sulfur atom, a phosphorus atom, and a halogen atom; and removing the organic solvent.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image processing apparatus capable of reading and processing both character data such as bar codes, optical readable letters and marks, and image data such as figures and tables by means of a single image scanner. The image processing apparatus has a parameter registration mode, a code addition mode and an image retrieval mode as operation modes. In the parameter registration mode, when a bar code corresponding to parameters related with image processing is read by the image scanner, a notification signal is outputted in response to completion of the reading. In the parameter registration mode, it is possible to determine priority to be assigned to either setting of the parameters through the image scanner or setting of the parameters through keys.
