Abstract: Providing a super-high pressure lamp having increased pressure resistance. The super-high pressure lamp includes: an arc tube; and a sealing portion in which a front end of an exhaust pipe capable of exhausting gas in the arc tube or supplying gas into the arc tube is sealed, wherein, in the sealing portion, a height of a first sealed space, which has a tapered shape that becomes narrower toward a front end of the sealing portion, is larger than twice an inner diameter of the first sealed space.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electrode for a lithium ion battery is provided. A powder layer is formed by using a squeegee roll to squeegee powder including an electrode active material and supplied onto a substrate, and then compacted on the substrate by means of a pair of press rolls while conveying the substrate vertically downward to form an electrode sheet. The method includes: supplying the powder onto the substrate; leveling the powder supplied onto the substrate to form the powder layer using the squeegee roll which is disposed in a position so that a squeegee angle formed by a vertical line passing through the rotating axis of one of the press rolls and a line passing through said rotating axis and the rotating axis of the squeegee roll is 0° to 60°; and compacting the powder layer on the substrate using the pair of press rolls.

Abstract: An actuator is composed of a frame having a guide rail thereon and a slider movable relative to the frame by means of a ball lead screw. Lubrication of the ball lead screw is carried out by a lubricating member installed in the slider. A first lubricating member has an applicator nose which comes into sliding contact with a helical groove around the ball lead screw and a second lubricating member makes close contact with the first lubricating member to supply lubricant to the first lubricating member. The first and second lubricating members fit together in a recess made at one end of the slider major body. Both the first and second lubricating members have C-shaped contour. The first and second lubricating members lying in close engagement with each other are received in a recess in the end of the slider major body and held there with a presser plate which is secured using fastening screws.

Abstract: A method of producing an electrode for an electricity storage device includes producing a paste to form an electrode active material layer, in which aggregates of a solids fraction material that contains at least an electrode active material and a binder are dispersed in a solvent, coating the paste on a surface of a current collector, and drying the current collector coated with the paste, to form the electrode active material layer formed of the solids fraction material. The paste is produced in such a manner that a content ratio of the solids fraction material in the paste is 60 to 80 mass %, an abundance ratio for the aggregates with a particle size that is equal to or smaller than 20 ?m is at least 99%, and a viscosity at 25° C. and a shear rate of 40 s?1 is 200 to 5,000 mPa·s.

Abstract: The need for a related-art nipple 3 is eliminated to lift restriction on the stroke of the slider S. A tubular protrusion 9 is provided on the face of a seal body H facing an end cap C, and maintains a positional relationship of being inserted into a lubricant supply hole 8 formed in the end cap when the face of the seal body faces the face of the end cap, and it has an insertion portion 9a receiving insertion of a lubricant supply nozzle 10 for a supply of lubricant, and a supply port 9b connected to a rolling-element directing passage 7 via the lubricant supply hole when it is inserted into the lubricant supply hole. A seal element is created on the insertion portion 9a and makes close contact with the lubricant supply nozzle in a process of inserting the lubricant supply nozzle into the insertion portion.

Abstract: An actuator has a frame and a slider body which are both made of extruded shapes of light-metal alloy. A first rail member is fastened to the frame by means of a simple construction. An upper sealing member is placed between the frame and the slider body. With the actuator constructed as stated earlier, the frame is an elongated extrusion of U-shape in transverse section whose side walls have first recesses of dovetail configuration to fit over first rail members and flanges. A slider has therein the slider body having second recesses of rectangular shape to fit over second rail members. There is further provided a driving unit to force the slider with respect to the frame. The first rail members each have the wedged configuration including tapered contours and dents, while the second rail members each have the rectangular shape.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing electrodes includes applying an electrode mixture paste by coating to a first surface of an electrode current collector having the first surface and a second surface, to provide a first paste-coated member having a first surface that is a surface of the electrode mixture paste, and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and drying the electrode mixture paste deposited on the first surface of the electrode current collector. In the initial stage of drying of the electrode mixture paste, the quantity of heat applied to the second surface of the first paste-coated member is made larger than the quantity of heat applied to the first surface of the first paste-coated member.
