Provided are an anode capable of preventing an increase in impedance and variations in characteristics and a battery using the anode. An anode active material layer includes at least one kind selected from the group consisting of simple substances, alloys and compounds of silicon and the like capable of forming an alloy with Li. The anode active material layer is formed by a vapor-phase deposition method or the like, and is alloyed with an anode current collector. A coating including lithium carbonate is formed on at least a part of a surface of the anode current collector. Thereby, an increase in impedance can be prevented. Moreover, the anode is less subject to an influence by a difference in a handling environment or storage conditions, so variations in impedance can be prevented.

The connection according to the invention is constituted by two elements, male and female, adapted to fit axially in each other and each comprising a body, inside which a valve is mobile. A fixed part of each element is adapted to displace the mobile valve of the other element when they are being fitted. The female element is provided with a locking member in which may be introduced a part of the male element and which is mobile in translation in a radial direction with respect to the axis of fit of the elements, between two positions in which it respectively allows or opposes the separation of the male and female elements; when these elements are separated, their respective fixed part and mobile valve together define complementary volumes of which the opposite surfaces may come into surface abutment on each other, this avoiding the formation of dead volumes capable of generating drainings or leakages.

The apparatus for modifying glass surface is made up of at least one rotating brush (9, 10) that is bedded in static or moveable disposition above the glass plate (5) which is to be modified, while the brush (9,10) has abrasive plastic threads (3) embedded with abrasive grains of synthetic diamond.

An electromagnetic device for pumping, circulating or transferring non-ferrous molten metal has a duct made of a refractory material with a first aperture at a first end of the duct and a second aperture at a second end of the duct. The duct conveys a body of non-ferrous molten metal between the first and second apertures. The duct encloses the body of non-ferrous molten metal between the first and second apertures.
