  • Contact switch
    Patent number: 8008588
    Abstract: A contact switch includes a case, a first contact provided in the case, a second contact provided in the case, an actuator for causing the first contact to contact the second contact, and an oil-repellent agent applied to at least one of an outer edge of the first contact or an outer edge of the second contact The oil-repellent agent includes a fluorine-based polymer. The switch has a simple structure and connects between the contacts reliably.

  • Electrode for alkaline storage battery and method for manufacturing the same
    Patent number: 6120937
    Abstract: In a positive electrode for an alkaline storage battery, a layer is formed between a porous substrate as a core material and an active material including nickel hydroxide filled into the porous substrate. The layer includes an oxide containing cobalt and nickel and/or a hydroxide containing cobalt and nickel. In the hydroxide, the average of an oxidation number of a metal is more than +II. The layer has a high electric conductivity while keeping the high corrosion resistance. A utilization rate of the active material can be improved due to the high electric conductivity. An alkaline storage battery including such an electrode has a good cycle property.
