  • Publication number: 20110039145
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lithium secondary battery using a separator including a porous film formed by binding inorganic oxide particles together with a binder. The inorganic oxide particles are treated so that an amount of alkali metal elements eluted therefrom when they are immersed in ion exchange water is reduced to 1000 ppm or less. As a result, it is possible to provide a lithium secondary battery with a high degree of reliability, whose characteristics deteriorate less when it is used or stored for an extended period.

  • Publication number: 20100275588
    Abstract: An engine (8) is mounted to a vehicle body by means of vibration isolating mounts (8E), and a support member (15) is mounted to the engine (8). Vibration isolating members (20) are provided between this support member (15) and a mounting bracket (17) mounted to an exhaust gas treatment device (16). Accordingly, even in cases where the engine (8) has generated high-frequency vibrations, these vibrations can be damped by the vibration isolating mounts (8E) and the vibration isolating members (20). In consequence, treatment members constituting the exhaust gas treatment device (16) , such as a catalyst, a filter, and a sensor, can be protected from the vibrations of the engine (8). In addition, as the exhaust gas treatment device (16) is provided with the mounting bracket (17), the vibration isolating members (20) can be reliably mounted to the exhaust gas treatment device (16) by means of the mounting bracket (17).
