Abstract:
Providing a noble negative-electrode active material including silicon, and a production process for the same.A negative-electrode active material for non-aqueous-system secondary battery including a silicon phase and a composite oxide phase (a CaSiO3 phase, for instance) is obtained by mixing a silicon oxide (SiO, for instance) with a silicon compound (CaSi2, for instance), which includes silicon and at least one member of elements being selected from the group consisting of Group 2 (or Group 2A) elements in the Periodic Table, to prepare a mixed raw material, and then reacting the mixed raw material. The composite oxide phase demonstrates the advantage of inhibiting electrolytic solutions from decomposing in a smaller amount than does the conventional SiO2 phase.

Abstract:
A swash plate is operably connected through a lug plate and a hinge mechanism to a drive shaft, and slidably retained on an end part of each piston through a pair of front and rear shoes. A rotational motion of the swash plate following rotation of the drive shaft is converted through the shoes into a reciprocating motion of each piston. A thermoplastic polyimide coating is formed on the swash plate and the shoes as sliding components of a compressor. The thermoplastic polyimide coating may contain a solid lubricant. For the solid lubricant, for example, polytetrafluoroethylene is used. Thus, it is possible to obtain a compressor, which includes the sliding components having improved sliding characteristics, and is manufactured relatively easily.
