  • Publication number: 20070157081
    Abstract: A browser, with a web page screen-reading function, displays a web page easy to read in synchronism with text screen-reading is possible. The browser determines whether lateral scroll during normal page displaying is occurred reduces, if occurred, the width of displayed component of the display page below the width of the display area and displays the component to be displayed within reduced area to reconstruct the layout of page. The browser, thus, conducts the reconstructed page displayed and vertical scroll so that the character string corresponding to the screen-read part aurally outputted can be displayed.

  • Patent number: 6783895
    Abstract: A hydrophilic collector for alkaline secondary batteries is formed of a nonwoven fabric plated with nickel in which the nonwoven fabric is hydrophilized by sulfonation, a gaseous fluorine treatment, or vinyl monomer grafting. A method for making the collector includes a hydrophilizing step of a nonwoven fabric comprising at least one of a polyolefin fiber and a polyamide fiber, and a plating step of applying nickel plating to the hydrophilic nonwoven fabric. Preferably, the nickel plating is electroless plating, and the nonwoven fabric has a plurality of micropores extending from one surface to the other surface thereof. An electroplating film may be deposited on the electroless plated film, if necessary. This collector facilitates assembling a battery which exhibits improved high-rate discharge characteristics due to improved adhesiveness of the plated nickel film to the nonwoven fabric.
