Abstract: An apparatus for performing a weather resistance test on a composite material having a metallic, inorganic, or organic base member, and an organic material covering the base member. The apparatus includes a sample holding device disposed in a sample chamber for holding a sample of the composite material. An artificial light source irradiates light substantially in the ultraviolet light area to one surface of the sample. A dipping mechanism dips the sample in a corrosive ionized water, and dew condensation is formed through a temperature control device disposed in the sample holding device, working with a moisture source, for causing dew condensation in the surface of the sample. A cleaning device is provided for cleaning the surface of the sample, and steaming of the sample is performed through the use of a heating element disposed in the sample chamber, and the moistening means, for steaming the sample in an atmosphere of high temperature and high humidity.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a high-temperature fuel cell comprising a cell stack and a gas supply/exhaust manifold secured to each side surface of the cell stack with a gas-sealing sheet and an insulator being interposed therebetween. The fuel cell is characterized in that an end surface of the insulator and an opposing end surface of the manifold are inclined, so that a component of a force fastening the manifold exerts on the insulator in a direction to a space encircled by the manifold, insulator, and gas-sealing member.

Abstract: A pressure sensor for use in an internal combustion engine includes a diaphragm member having a cylindrical part and a pressure receiving part which is subjected to an axial motion in an axial direction of the diaphragm member when a pressure in an external environment is applied to the pressure receiving part, a pressure detection member having pressure distributing parts and a piezoelectric part for generating a signal indicative of the applied pressure when it is stressed in response to the axial motion of the pressure receiving part, and a pressure transfer member for transferring the motion from the pressure receiving part to the pressure detection member, the pressure transfer member including a spherical member capable of rolling relative to the diaphragm member in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the diaphragm member at a position between the pressure receiving part and the pressure detection member.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for weather resistance test comprising a process for washing the surface of samples with a cleaner which is added at least between a process for condensing moisture on the surface of the sample after ultraviolet radiation has been applied and the process for again applying ultraviolet radiation after the process for condensing moisture. Impurities adhered to the surface of the sample and substances extracted on the surface of the sample can be removed by washing with the cleaner so that the surface of the sample to which these impurities and substances are adhered intact can be protected from being baked in the ensuing ultraviolet radiation application process. Consequently, generation of spot patterns and excessive color change of the surface of the sample can be prevented.

Abstract: A current collecting equipment for a fuel cell assembly of the kind wherein a current collector, a heat resisting insulator and an end plate are in turn being mounted on each end of a fuel cell stack is characterized in that the current collector comprises a plurality of current collecting sections arranged with spaces between sides of the adjacent sections, and that terminals are respectively connected to the current collecting sections and brought out through the end plate. The current collecting equipment may comprises four current collecting sections, a conductor frame provided with four through holes at its corners and four inner terminals being connected to each section and connected to the conductor frame, and an output terminal mounted on the frame and brought out through the end plate.

Abstract: Means for forming a seal between a fuel cell stack and manifolds to be fixed to respective sides of the fuel cell stack that comprises rigid frames adapted to be fixed on each side of the fuel cell stack and provided at its peripheries with grooves extending in the stacked direction of the fuel cell components and fastening means for uniting said frames. Each of fastening means comprises a pair of angle members each having a hook at its one end and being preassembled together with elastic washers by a clamping bolt and a nut. The hooks of the angle members of each pair is adapted to be engaged with the grooves of the adjacent frames.

Abstract: An epoxy resin composition comprising (A) an epoxy resin, (B) an alicyclic or aromatic polycarboxylic acid anhydride, (C) 4-ketopimelic acid dilactone, and if necessary (D) a hardening accelerator can give a cured article having excellent properties such as elongation, flexibility, hardness, tensile strength, etc.

Abstract: A charging generator for a motor vehicle has a rear casing portion including a flat end wall facing a brush holder. Two protuberances and a protuberance are disposed in opposed staggered relationship on opposed portions of the flat end wall and the brush holder to form a labyrinth between them. The labyrinth is filled with a grease and blocks the space between vent holes disposed in the flat end wall and the brushes housed in the brush holder.

Abstract: A charging generator has two slip rings surrounded by a cylindrical cover provided on the periphery with an axially extending opening, a brush holder including one end portion inserted into the opening and slightly spaced from each edge of the opening and two spring loaded brushes held in the holder to contact slidably the slip rings. The cover includes a protrusion located adjacent to each edge of the opening so as to extend substantially radially outwardly and the brush holder includes two opposite protrusions extending along adjacent portions of the outer cover periphery and toward the adjacent protrusions of the cover to form labyrinths between them. The labyrinths are filled with a grease.

Abstract: A cylindrical spacer type resistor device is connected to a metal fixing plate or a print circuit plate by its electrodes without lead wires only by fixing the resistor device. The operation for connecting the lead wires can be eliminated. When the resistor device is used as a disconnection detecting resistor of a rotor in a generator for a car charger, the resistor device can be easily fixed in a narrow space.
