A hydrogen absorbing alloy is provided which is increased in reaction rate without being restricted in composition and which is unimpaired in the reversibility of reaction and hydrogen absorption-desorption cycle life characteristics. The alloy contains the phase of an intermetallic compound of the composition A5T19 wherein A is at least one element selected from the group consisting of La, Ce, Pr, Sm, Nd, Mm (misch metal), Y, Gd, Ca, Mg, Ti, Zr and Hf, and T is at least one element selected from the group consisting of B, Bi, Al, Si, Cr, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sn and Sb. The alloy is produced by mixing together an alloy containing an AT3 phase and an alloy containing an AT4 phase, mechanically alloying the mixture to form the phase of intermetallic compound of the composition A5T19 in addition to the AT3 and AT4 phases, and subsequently mixing together or mechanically alloying the resulting alloy and an alloy containing AT5 phase.

A microprocessor, comprising a register 18 for setting either a first mode in which a trap instruction is not executed, or a second mode in which the trap instruction can be executed is set, wherein an instruction decoding circuit 23, in case of operating in the first mode, outputs an internal signal SG1 directing execution of a subroutine call, when decoding a subroutine call instruction, to an instruction executing unit 14, and in case of operating in the second mode, outputs the internal signal SG1 directing execution of a trap when decoding the subroutine call instruction, to the instruction executing unit 14. By such a configuration, a break can be effected in a unit of subroutine under a simple control when debugging the program, and by enabling the breaking without decoding a program to be debugged, the debugging can be effected efficiently under a real time environment.

Microprocessor for debugging programs

The present invention relates to a process to manufacture alkaline cells by applying electrically conductive paint on an inner wall area of cathode container which contacts with cathode molds, and by heating said cathode container itself by applying electromagnetic induction in order to dry and/or cure the paint and to form a uniform electrically conductive coating layer adhered firmly on the inner wall of said container. By employing this process, continuous production of alkaline cells having excellent and uniform load characteristics which deteriorate very little became possible.
