An electrode active material further comprising an amphoteric compound, an alkali metal sulfide or an alkali metal oxide, and lithium secondary batteries using the electrode active material, are disclosed. The lithium secondary batteries neutralize acids generating around electrode active material so that it can inhibit the reduction in battery capacity. In addition, the lithium secondary batteries are excellent in its charge-discharge characteristics, cycle life and thermal stability. A method for preparing the electrode active material for lithium secondary batteries is also provided.

An electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery which has a non-aqueous organic solvent including a γ-butyrolactone and optionally a cyclic carbonate, an ester compound having an electron withdrawing group, and at least two salts. The lithium secondary battery including the electrolyte has good safety and good storage characteristics at high temperature.

An ultrasonic flow meter is equipped with a housing through which a liquid flows, and a pair of detection units disposed on opposite ends of the housing and including acoustic wave transmitting and receiving units capable of transmitting and receiving acoustic wave signals. Paired connecting plugs are connected respectively to both ends of the housing. In addition, a supply passage of one of the connecting plugs, a conduit of the housing, and a discharge passage of another of the connecting plugs are disposed on a straight line. A liquid supplied to the supply passage flows through a passage of the conduit and to the discharge passage. Consequently, a flow rate of the liquid is measured based on the propagation time of the acoustic wave signals, which are transmitted and received by the acoustic wave transmitting and receiving units.

A rotating body for a fluid dynamic bearing used for rotating a recording disk that has been mounted therein include: a rotating shaft portion in which a cylindrical portion that serves as a rotating shaft and a protruding portion extended radially outward from one end of the cylindrical portion are formed integrally with each other; and a hub that is to be connected to the end portion near to the outer circumference of the protruding portion and that has a mounting seat portion on which the recording disk is to be mounted.

In an electric double-layer capacitor, resistance of a polarizable electrode layer is reduced and gas generation inside a case is suppressed in an attempt to improve reliability. On that account, an electric double-layer capacitor is provided, which is obtained by housing in a case, together with a driving electrolyte, a capacitor element wound with a separator interposed between electrodes being paired anode and cathode electrodes in each of which polarizable electrode layers are formed on and lead wires are fixed to both sides of a current collector made of metallic foil, such that the polarizable electrode layers are opposed to each other. Further, an electric double-layer capacitor is provided in which the lead wire is fixed to a polarizable-electrode-layer-removed section on the electrode where the polarizable electrode layer has been removed, and an area of the polarizable-electrode-layer-removed section is not smaller than 1 and not larger than 2.0 when a project area of a portion where the lead wire is connected with the current collector is set to 1.
