Abstract: A purpose of the present disclosure is to provide nonaqueous electrolyte battery inorganic particles that enable provision of a nonaqueous electrolyte battery having excellent properties of safety and service life. Another purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an efficient and effective method for inspecting the metal absorption ability of nonaqueous electrolyte battery inorganic particles.

Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a nonaqueous electrolyte battery having excellent lifespan characteristics and/or excellent safety, which are essential in practice. The basic inorganic particles for a nonaqueous electrolyte battery according to the present invention include basic inorganic particles, wherein a hydrophilicity parameter A for the basic inorganic particles satisfies the expression: 0.45?A(BET1/BET2)?2.0. In the expression, BET1 represents the specific surface area of the basic inorganic particles calculated from an adsorption isotherm which is measured through adsorption of water vapor to the basic inorganic particles by a BET method. BET2 represents the specific surface area of the basic inorganic particles calculated from an adsorption isotherm which is measured through adsorption of nitrogen to the basic inorganic particles by a BET method.

Abstract: An arrangement for mounting an armrest in a seat, in which the armrest has a rotary shaft and a stopper rod, both of which projects outwardly of the armrest, and a first support bracket has been pre-assembled in a seat back of the seat, while a second support bracket is provided separately from the seat back. The first support bracket has an arcuate guide hole and a widened region defined in the arcuate guide hole. The stopper rod is provided with a stopper element which is smaller than such widened region. With this arrangement, the armrest can be first retained to the first support bracket by inserting both stopper rod and stopper element through the arcuate guide hole via the widened region. Then, the second support bracket can be attached together with the armrest to the seat back, without the need for holding the armrest on the worker's part, hence permitting for easy mounting of the armrest in the seat back.
