Abstract: Provided are a negative electrode that is for use in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, includes a porous metal body as a current collector, contains a skeleton-forming agent highly infiltrated in the current collector so that it is less likely to suffer from structural degradation and provides improved cycle durability; and a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery including such a negative electrode. The negative electrode for use in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a current collector including a porous metal body; a first negative electrode material disposed in pores of the porous metal body and including a conductive aid, a binder, and a negative electrode active material including a silicon-based material; and a second negative electrode material disposed in pores of the porous metal body and including a skeleton-forming agent including a silicate having a siloxane bond.

Abstract: A first connection between a first terminal 10 and a relay server device 30 is established when the relay server 30, having a connection standby function, is triggered by first connection establishment request information transmitted from the first terminal 10 having a connection establishment request function but not having the connection standby function. A second connection between a second terminal 20 and the relay server device 30 is established when the relay server 30 is triggered by second connection establishment request information transmitted from the second terminal 20 having the connection establishment request function. First endpoint information corresponding to the first connection and the identifier of the first terminal 10 are stored in association with each other in a memory 30g of the relay server device 30.
