| 20090226809 | LITHIUM-SULFUR BATTERY AND CATHODE THEREFORE - An improved cathode suitable for lithium-sulfur batteries, a battery including the cathode, and a battery including a separator containing inorganic fillers are disclosed. The cathode includes sulfur and a metal oxide and optionally includes an additional polymeric material. The metal oxide reduces dissolution of sulfur at the cathode and reduces sulfur-containing deposits on the battery anode, thereby providing a battery with relatively high energy density and good partial discharge performance. The separator also reduces unwanted diffusion of sulfur species. | 09-10-2009 |

| 20080255400 | Hydrotalcite-Like Substance, Process for Producing the Same and Method of Immobilizing Hazardous Substance - A hydrotalcite-like substance that is capable of ion exchange with target anions, being of small crystal size and that exhibits large basal spacing, excelling in anion exchange performance; a process for producing the same; and a method of immobilizing hazardous substances. A hydrotalcite-like substance is produced by mixing an acidic solution containing aluminum ions and magnesium ions with an alkaline solution containing an alkali to thereby synthesize a hydrotalcite-like substance, followed by, without ageing, water removal or neutralization. The molar ratio of aluminum ions and magnesium ions is preferably in the range of 1:5 to 1:2. Hazardous substances can be immobilized by pulverizing the hydrotalcite-like substance after synthesis and adding the powder to a subject, or adding a hydrotalcite-like substance in slurry form to a subject, or carrying out addition so as to cause the synthesis directly at the position of the subject. Furthermore, anion adsorption can be performed by a filter containing the hydrotalcite-like substance. | 10-16-2008 |

| 20090265115 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ANALYZING DNA - This invention is directed to a protocol and design for an apparatus to analyze the distribution and/or ratio of Thymine, Cytosine, Adenine and Guanine of a DNA sequence from a target organism. The result is then used to determine the possible impact the target organism may have in a host such as a human body. The goal is to provide an effective way to diagnose diseases such as infectious diseases, to test the safety of food and drugs, and therefore to create natural and effective solutions for health care and food supply. For example, a DNA analysis method configured according to the invention receives a DNA sequence input and converts it into a reassembled sequence. A result based on the reassembled sequence may then be output. | 10-22-2009 |
