  • Patent number: 11942645
    Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The separator has a multilayer structure in which a first filler layer containing phosphate particles, a porous resin substrate, and a second filler layer containing inorganic particles having higher heat resistance than the phosphate particles are stacked in this order from the negative electrode side. The first filler layer is disposed on the porous resin substrate in such a manner that the surface of the first filler layer faces the surface of the negative electrode. The phosphate particles have a BET specific surface area in the range of 5 m2/g or more and 100 m2/g or less.

  • Publication number: 20090277735
    Abstract: A rotary damper is provided so that air incorporated into a housing during assembly is, not excessively compressed, whereby a generation of a peculiar sound due to the air incorporated into the housing can be prevented even though the rotor rotates in both directions, and so that the air is stopped and captured in a fixed place whereby influence on the generated torque can be reduced, and irregularity of the torque can be reduced progressively. A rotary damper includes a housing (11, 51), silicon oil housed inside the housing (11, 51), a rotor 31 housed inside the housing (11, 51), and having a shaft member (32) projecting from the housing (11, 51) and having a resistance member (36) moving through the silicon oil (21) inside the housing (11, 51), and an O-ring (61) for preventing leakage of the silicon oil (21) from between the shaft member (32) and the housing (51). A circumferential groove (54) is provided on an inner face of the housing (51) facing the resistance member (36).
