  • Patent number: 7374843
    Abstract: The invention relates to a microporous membrane, which is provided with high safety even under a condition that the interior temperature of a battery becomes high, and which has high permeability and high mechanical strength at the same time. The polyolefin microporous membrane is characterized by a membrane thickness of 5 to 50 ?m, a void content of 30 to 60%, a gas transmission rate of 40 to 300 sec/100 cc/20 ?m, a piercing strength of not less than 2.5 N/20 ?m and a break through temperature of not lower than 110° C. The separator in accordance with the present invention is used to exhibit high safety under a high temperature condition as well as high permeability, and therefore it is particularly useful as a separator for miniaturized high capacity batteries of a non-aqueous electrolytic solution type.

  • Patent number: 4330099
    Abstract: An apparatus for guiding a flying vehicle having a light receiver by directing a spirally scanning light beam at the light receiver. A repetition reference time of the scanning of the light beam is stored in the flying vehicle before it is launched. After the flying vehicle has been launched the radiation angle of the spirally scanning light beam is controlled according to the lapse of time after launching of the flying vehicle so as to maintain a scanning area of the scanning light beam on the light receiver constant. In flight, the flying vehicle is guided so as to be on the center of the light beam according to information of a displacement of the flying vehicle from the center of the light beam and information of a displacement angle from a reference axis of the light beam determined from a period of time during which the light receiver receives the light beam.
