A method of producing a separator is provided. The method includes providing a particle membrane including inorganic particles on at least one principal surface of a porous body by a vapor-phase process such that the particle membrane has a porosity that is non-uniform in a thickness direction thereof. A method of producing a microporous membrane is also provided.

Method of producing a separator and method of producing a microporous membrane

A separator includes a porous body, and a particle membrane that is formed on at least one principal surface of the porous body. The particle membrane is made of inorganic particles, and has a void formed therein by the inorganic particles. The particle membrane has a porosity that is non-uniform in the thickness direction thereof.

An input apparatus capable of transmitting a signal corresponding to an operation of a user to a control apparatus capable of switching display among a plurality of display screens, includes a first detection section, a second detection section, and a mode switch section. The first detection section detects analog information on a movement of the input apparatus made by the user. The second detection section detects digital information input by the user. The mode switch section makes a switch between a first mode for transmitting to the control apparatus a first signal that is based on the analog information detected by the first detection means and a second mode for transmitting to the control apparatus a second signal that is based on the digital information detected by the second detection means, in association with the display screen displayed on the control apparatus.
