Abstract: An object is to provide a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery that has an SEI coating with a special structure and has excellent battery characteristics. As an electrolytic solution of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, an electrolytic solution containing: a salt whose cation is an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or aluminum and whose cation is an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, or aluminum; and an organic solvent having a heteroelement is used, wherein, Is>Io is satisfied, and an S,O-containing coating having an S?O structure is formed on the surface of a positive electrode and/or a negative electrode. Alternatively, the above described electrolytic solution is used, and, as a binding agent for negative electrodes, a binding agent formed of a polymer having a hydrophilic group is used.

Abstract: A vehicle body levelling device for a working vehicle having outriggers 5 provided at the front and rear of a self-propelled lower running body 1 for stabilizing the vehicle body while in service wherein the inclinations of the vehicle body in the front to rear and left to right directions thereof are detected by means of a front to rear inclination detector 13 and a left to right inclination detector 14, respectively, and the lengths of the front, rear, left and right outrigger arms 6 are detected by outrigger length detectors 18 so as to calculate by a controller 10 required amount of extension of piston rods of the left and right jack cylinders 7 provided on the front and rear outriggers 5, and wherein a control valve 15 provided on each of the jack cylinders is controlled in accordance with results of the calculation, whereby the vehicle body can be levelled in a short period of time even on an inclined place.

Abstract: In order to lessen the operator's fatigue and improve his actions in accuracy, there is provided an apparatus of the present invention for compensating a stop position of a bucket of a loader. By the use of the apparatus, it is possible to automatically compensate the stop position of the bucket so as to keep the bucket substantially horizontal even when the engine speed varies. The apparatus of the present invention is provided with: a detecting element (67 or 67') for detecting the extending/retracting speed of a bucket cylinder unit (27) of the loader; and a controller (51) in which a necessary time lag (Bi) is established on the basis of a signal issued from the detecting element, and after collapse of a period of such time lag, a relay (66) for energizing a leveler solenoid (46) is turned on and kept "on" until a limit switch (33) for limiting the extension of the bucket cylinder unit (27) is turned off.
