Abstract: The present invention provides an electrode material for a secondary battery wherein the inside and the surface of a lithium-titanium complex oxide is composited with a fine carbon fiber as a network.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vacuum heat insulating material. Also disclosed is a heat insulating box using the vacuum heat insulating material. The vacuum heat insulating material includes a core member and envelope members having gas-barrier properties and including heat-seal layers. The envelope members are opposed to each other in such a manner that the core member is disposed between the heat-seal layers. The envelope members are entirely heated to a temperature at which the heat-seal layers are melted, and the heat-seal layers are heat sealed to each other by applying uniform pressure to the entire envelope members from outside to inside the envelope members.

Abstract: A vacuum heat insulation material has a covering material which is a lamination body including a sealant layer, a metal foil layer, a first plastic film layer, and a second plastic film layer which are laminated in this order from inside to outside via adhesive layers. When a foreign body is pierced into the vacuum heat insulation material, the propagation of breakage caused by the piercing is blocked somewhere inside the lamination body, thereby preventing the formation of through-pinholes. This results in the provision of a high-quality vacuum heat insulation material with excellent long-term insulation performance by using a covering material excellent in gas barrier properties and pinhole resistance to the piercing of minute foreign bodies.

Abstract: A mobile IPv6 dual-stack node engages in IPv6 communication while roaming within an IPv4-only network, for example using ISATAP. First, the node determines that it has moved Bnd obtains a new IPv4 address. After determining that the visited network contains no IPv6-enabled components, the node uses an IPv6 connect agent to engage in IPv6 communication. The node configures its care-of address using the IPv6 connect agent's routing information and the node's newly-obtained IPv4 address. In one embodiment, the node and the connect agent optimize the handoff when the nodes has moved but still uses the same connect agent. The node sends a binding updates to the connect agents comprising the node's old care-of address and the node's new care-of address. When the connect agent receives a packet destined for the node's previous care-of address, it forwards the packet to the node's currents care-of address, thereby reducing packet loss.
