Abstract: A vehicle seat lift speed variable switch system basically has a lift-up mechanism, a control unit and an interface. The lift-up mechanism is configured to selectively lower and lift a vehicle seat between a first position inside a vehicle occupant compartment and a second position outside the vehicle occupant compartment. The control unit is configured to control lowering and lifting movements of the vehicle seat via the lift-up mechanism. The interface is configured to transmit a command signal to the control unit. The interface includes a lift switch and a lift speed variable switch. The control unit is further configured to operate the lift-up mechanism to move the vehicle seat at a predetermined speed when an input is received from only the lift switch, and at a different speed from than the predetermined speed when simultaneous inputs are received from the lift speed variable switch and the lift switch.

Abstract: Disclosed are a battery package and a method for charging and discharging secondary batteries including nickel hydrogen batteries by refreshing and suppressing inactivity of the batteries.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrode for an alkaline storage battery, including a process of manufacturing a porous metal plate. A method of manufacturing this porous metal plate includes adding a predetermined organic substance to a urethane sponge or coating a foamed urethane sponge with polyethylene terephthalate. Furthermore, the method includes grinding the urethane sponge or rolling the urethane sponge using a roll press.

Abstract: The battery package of the present invention has at least one battery and a battery holding part, and this battery holding part has openings or opening formation portions provided at the positions corresponding to the positions of terminals of positive and negative electrodes. According to the present invention, characteristics of the batteries held in the battery package can be measured without opening the battery package, and hence the batteries can be supplied for consumers in the better state. Furthermore, waste of resources can be avoided, resulting in contribution to protection of environment.

Abstract: A new type connector set is provided. Its male connector member includes a male housing having an engaging portion in the form of a nut. The female connector member includes a female housing with an opening to receive said male housing therethrough, a support member fixed within said female housing and having a chamber to receive the engaging portion of the male housing in it and a bolt rotatably extending within said chamber to be screwed into the nut. Said bolt is prevented from moving in an axial direction thereof and has a constricted portion in it.

Abstract: The improved arrangement of plug-in fuses comprises multiple fuse assemblies each comprising a fuse body and a housing enclosing the fuse body, the fuse body having two parallel terminal blade portions with their both ends projecting from the housing which ends are fitted in small slit-shape socket openings formed in a fuse mounting board, and retaining pieces fixed on the mounting board for retaining the housing upright.

Abstract: A contact-making pin is inserted in a through hole of a housing in such a manner that at least one stud or projection formed on the pin and a step portion formed in the same are respectively engaged with an elongated notch and a resilient catch member which are provided in the through hole of the housing, the elongated notch being formed to extend from one end of the through hole to a portion near the other end of the same. Thus, the connection of the pin to the housing is tightly achieved.
