PURPOSE:To improve the life characteristics of a charge and discharge cycle by suppressing deterioration caused by particularly deep discharging. CONSTITUTION:A plate for a paste-type lead storage battery is contained in a battery jar via a separator and water is added to the jar until the plate is buried under the surface of the water in order to anodically polarize the anode plate. For the anodi...

PURPOSE:To obtain the paste having excellent life performance by providing a process obtaining a kneaded mixture of lead powder containing fluorine resin in addition to a kneading process in which lead powder, water, and sulfuric acid are kneaded and by mixing them again. CONSTITUTION:Lead powder is mixed with water and prekneaded, then, for example, dilute sulfuric acid of S.G. 1.300 is poured in...

PURPOSE:To increase the capacity and the output of a pasted electrode for a lead acid battery by producing a porous body, which accelerates the discharge reaction during the high-rate discharge, over the surface of an active material by drying a paste packed into a supporter in an atmosphere containing more carbon dioxide gas than the natural atmosphere. CONSTITUTION:A positive plate is manufact...

PURPOSE:To improve the life characteristic of a paste for a lead acid battery by adding and kneading both a fluororesin dispersion and a metallic lead powder into a kneaded paste during the kneading process, after the addition of sulfuric acid is completed. CONSTITUTION:A usual paste kneading is carried out by dropping sulfuric acid into a mixture principally consisting of a lead powder and water....

A process and apparatus for the manufacture of plates of an electrical storage battery involves the partial or total severing of a plate blank from a strip of stock material and the subsequent filling of a grid of the plate blank with a material in paste form prior to the removal of the filled plate from the stock material.

PURPOSE:To absorb expansion of a plate to improve performance by positioning on the same plane the lower ends of a cathode plate and an anode plate and placing on a rib of a container only the lower end of the anode plate. CONSTITUTION:A cathode plate 1 having foot parts 2,3, and an anode plate 5 having foot parts 6,7, and a separator 9 interposed in between are stacked to constitute an electrode ...

PURPOSE:To enable the start/stop time of the whole of a series to be shortened by adjusting the start/stop time of each unit so that the NOx quantity of the whole of the series may be put within a series regulating value. CONSTITUTION:At a series NOx quantity calculation portion 120, the characteristics of the time change of each unit's NOx discharge quantity are predicted by grasping the plant co...

PURPOSE:To enable a speed change shock to be reduced when an automatic transmission is shifted down, by performing a correction control so as to decrease an engine output synchronously with a rise of engine or turbine speed. CONSTITUTION:An automatic transmission 1 is controlled by a control unit 10 which stores a speed change pattern in memory, and a speed change gear mechanism in the automatic t...

PURPOSE:To obtain a highly efficient solar heat collecting device in which electric power consumed by a compressor is low, by providing a controller which outputs a signal to change the flow rate of water on the basis of the temperature detected by a water temperature controlling sensor when the temperature detected by the sensor gets higher than a predetermined value. CONSTITUTION:A feed hot-wate...

A battery grid pasting machine has an endless steel conveyor belt for advancing grids beneath a paste hopper. The lower end of the hopper is closed by an orifice plate. The top run of the belt is supported by a vertically adjustable roller directly beneath an orifice slot in the orifice plate. A guide assembly is provided for advancing the grids in a downwardly inclined position toward the undersi...

Some prior magnetic recording tapes have a backside layer of electrically conductive particles and friction-imparting nonmagnetic particles in a nonmagnetic binder. The novel tape differs in that the nonmagnetic particles are replaced by high-Hc ferromagnetic particles, onto which may be recorded a distinctive magnetic pattern. This provides a "magnetic watermark" that should protect recordings fr...

The apparatus includes means for directing a plurality of beams of radiation of different spectral compositions to a sample such as a film or coating. A part of the beams is transmitted through the sample and received by a radiation detector. Another part of the beams reflected by the sample is in turn reflected, preferably by a concave mirror, back through the sample onto another radiation detect...

Textile articles are inspected for size, defects by forming an image e.g. in a video camera, capturing data representing at least salient features of the image, comparing the data automatically with reference data, and effecting a selection process in accordance with the result of the comparison. Articles e.g. socks, presented as a succession of imperfectly matched items, can be sorted for size e....

A fitting or coupling assembly designed and structured to be used with either high or low pressure hydraulic or gaseous fluids and including a primary body secured to a retaining member, preferably by a threaded connection and each having a respective coaxially aligned central channel and passage, when connected, in which a conduit having a stop member formed on the outer surface thereof is positi...

A memory data coincidence device includes a volatile read write memory connected to a main power source and auxiliary backup power source, and a keyboard for supplying data to the read write memory. The device further includes a read only memory for storing all data capable of being stored in the read write memory and a central processor unit (CPU) which compares the data of the read write memory ...
