PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of a short circuit due to the fall-out of the active material from a base plate, and to prevent lowering of performance due to the elongation of an electrode plate base at the time of discharging by providing an electrode plate group of electrode plates, positive electrode plates and a separator, which is provided continuously at the bottom of the negative electro...

In order to take an image of the mouth region (2) of a bottle (1), a luminous surface (3) is arranged under the mouth region to be imaged. The luminous surface (3) is illuminated by means of an illumination device (4) and the image of the illuminated mouth region (2) is sent to a camera by a mirror arrangement (5,6,11). Using the luminous surface it is possible to image the mouth region using tran...

Methods for multiplex amplification of target nucleic acid sequences using a single pair of primers. Defined sequences are appended to the ends of multiple target sequences as part of the amplification reaction so that no steps in addition to amplification are required. The target sequences with the appended defined sequences need not be isolated prior to amplification. In one embodiment for coamp...

Si descrive uno stent rivestito, in particolare uno stent rivestito con materiale polimerico biocompatibile e il relativo procedimento di rivestimento.; A coated stent, particularly a biocompatible polymeric material coated stent, and a coating process are herein described.

A novel method for the production of titanium dioxide slurries having a high solids content comprises subjecting an aqueous slurry of titanium dioxide to cross-flow filtration to produce a slurry containing at least 50%, preferably 60 to 80% titanium dioxide by weight. The slurry can be washed during filtration to reduce the concentration of soluble ions. The process can produce concentrated slurr...
