PURPOSE:To make it possible to store a required amount of electrolyte even if the height from the upper edges of plates to the electrolyte level is lowered by widening outward the side wall of a container locating above the upper ends of plates. CONSTITUTION:An electrolyte 4 is poured in a container 2 of a storage battery so that the level L of the electrolyte exists slightly upward than current c...

PURPOSE:To prevent short circuit caused by contact of active material which comes off from a plate with a plate having different polarity to increase the life of a storage battery by installing a partition partitioning a space between supports for cathode plates and anode plates in the bottom of a container. CONSTITUTION:A cathode active material from a cathode plate 4 is accumulated in a tray sur...

The invention relates to a method of synchronizing clocks contained in a local network of bus type, such as Ethernet and a system of synchronizing clocks. In local networks of this kind a number of nodes are connected to a common data channel. The object of the invention is to obtain a method and a system of synchronizing the clocks which is more accurate than previous methods and systems, in whic...

The specification describes a method and apparatus for processing bivalve shellfish, particularly scallops. The two shells are first parted by a small amount and a cutting tool is inserted to detach the shellfish from one of the shells. The two shells are then separated. The shell having the shellfish attached is rotated about an axis passing through the center of the edible portion and the offal ...
