Abstract:
A previously unknown mammalian UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:α-6-D-mannoside β-1,6-N-acetylglucosaminyl-transferase (termed GlcNAc T-Vb herein) coding sequence, protein, recombinant host cells and antibodies which specifically bind GlcNAc T-Vb are described. GlcNAc T-Vb is encoded on human chromosome 17, whereas the prior GlcNAc T-V is encoded on human chromosome 2.
Abstract:
Novel glycosylsulfotransferases (GST-4α, GST-4β, and GST-6) and polypeptides related thereto, as well as nucleic acid compositions encoding the same, are provided. The subject polypeptides and nucleic acid compositions find use in a variety of applications, including various diagnostic and therapeutic agent screening applications. Also provided are methods of inhibiting selectin mediated binding events and methods of treating disease conditions associated therewith, particularly by administering an inhibitor of at least one of GST-4α, GST-4β, and GST-6.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a battery cell constructed in a structure in which an electrode assembly of a cathode/separator/anode structure is mounted in a battery case formed of a laminate sheet including a resin layer and a metal layer while the electrode assembly is connected to electrode terminals extruding out of the battery case, wherein the battery case is provided at an outer circumferential end thereof with a sealing part formed by thermally welding upper and lower parts of the laminate sheet, and a sheet-type member (‘a thermally conductive sheet’) to accelerate the dissipation of heat from the battery cell extends to the sealing part while the thermally conductive sheet partially covers the battery cell.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a battery module including two or more plate-shaped battery cells, as unit cells, constructed in a stacked structure in which electrode terminals of the battery cells are connected in series with each other and the electrode terminal connections are bent such that the battery cells are stacked, and a pair of high-strength cell covers for surrounding the outer surfaces of the battery cells when the cell covers are coupled with each other. The present invention has the effect of easily mounting a sensing unit that is capable of minimizing the weight and size of battery cells while effectively reinforcing the low mechanical strength of the battery cells and sensing the operation state of the battery cells to a battery module. In addition, the present invention has the effect of manufacturing the battery module by a simple assembly process without using a plurality of members for mechanical coupling and electrical connection, thereby decreasing the manufacturing costs of the battery module, and effectively preventing the battery module from being short-circuited or damaged during the manufacture or the operation of the battery module. Furthermore, the present invention has the effect of manufacturing a middle- or large-sized battery system having desired output and capacity using the battery module as a unit body.
Abstract:
Provided are an aluminum alloy and a manufacturing method thereof. In the method, aluminum and a master alloy containing a calcium (Ca)-based compound are provided. A melt is prepared, in which the master alloy and the Al are melted. The aluminum alloy may be manufactured by casting the melt.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a fiberweb, a preparation method thereof, and a filter including the fiberweb. The fiberweb includes a wholly aromatic liquid crystal polyester resin which includes a repeating unit induced from a hydroxybenzoic acid and a repeating unit induced from a hydroxynaphthoic acid, but does not include a repeating unit induced from an aromatic dicarboxylic acid.

Disclosed are a nano particle, a nano particle complex and a method of fabricating the nano particle. The nano particle includes a compound semiconductor having a first metal element and a second metal element. The property of the nano particle is readily controlled depending on the composition of the first and second metal elements.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a magnesium-based alloy, and to a method for producing same. The method comprises the steps of: melting a magnesium alloy into a liquid state; adding a silicon compound to said molten magnesium alloy; exhausting the silicon compound through a full reaction between said molten magnesium alloy and said added silicon compound such that the silicon compound does not substantially remain in the magnesium alloy; and exhausting the silicon produced as a result of said exhaustion in the precious step such that the silicon may not substantially remain in said magnesium alloy.
