Abstract: A method for industrial and simplified production of an electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte battery without unfavorable peeling of the electrode coating layer is provided. An electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte battery is produced by mixing an electrode active material with a binder to prepare an electrode coating-material, applying the electrode coating-material onto an electrode collector, drying the electrode having the coating layer formed, and then carrying out aging for not less than 18 hours before or after compression-molding. The aging is preferably carried out for not less than 24 hours.

Abstract: A locking device for a vehicle door in which a handle unit fixed to a door outer panel and a door latch unit fixed to a door inner panel are prevented from making a substantial shift in their relative positions for the sake of normal operation even under sideways minor impacts or the like. A door latch reinforcement for fixing the door latch unit is fixed to the door inner panel. Handle stations, to which threaded portions of the handle unit are fastened, are bent-formed in a handle mount opening formed in the door outer panel. The door latch reinforcement and the handle stations are connected to each other with a handle bracket. Since the door latch reinforcement for fixing the door latch unit and the handle unit are connected to each other via the handle bracket, the two units make no substantial shift in their relative positions even under sideways minor impacts or the like, thereby allowing the normal operation of the door lock device even after the minor impacts.
