Abstract:
A fuel cell system includes a fuel supply unit for supplying fuel, an air supply unit for supplying air, and a stack for generating electric energy through an electro-chemical reaction between hydrogen supplied from the fuel supply unit and oxygen supplied from the air supply unit. The stack includes a membrane-electrode assembly and separators disposed on both sides of the membrane-electrode assembly. Each of the separators has a pathway for transferring the air or the hydrogen, and a ratio of the width to the depth of the pathway is within a range from 0.7 to 1.3.

Abstract:
A composite material for a bipolar plate of fuel cells is comprised of conductive carbon dispersed in polybenzoxazine matrix. The present invention also provides a composite material for preparing a bipolar plate for fuel cells comprising a polymer where a volume reduction percent is less than 5%, preferably 3%, and more preferably 1% after polymerization of the monomers with respect to total volume of the monomers before the polymerization thereof, and conductive carbon. The polymers of the present invention have good workability since there is little volume change during polymerization, and good mechanical and chemical properties, and they can be manufactured at a low cost.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel complexes of major histocomability complex (MHC) molecules and uses of such complexes. In one aspect, the invention relates to loaded MHC complexes that include at least one MHC molecule with a peptide-binding groove and a presenting peptide non-covalently linked to the MHC protein. In another aspect, the invention features single chain MHC class II peptide fusion complexes with a presenting peptide covalently linked to the peptide binding grove of the complex. MHC complexes of the invention are useful for a variety of applications including: 1) in vitro screens for identification and isolation of peptides that modulate activity of selected T cells, including peptides that are T cell receptor antagonists and partial agonists, and 2) methods for suppressing or inducing an immune response in a mammal.
Abstract:
Methods of reducing cystine containing animal and plant proteins, and improving dough and baked goods' characteristics is provided which includes the steps of mixing dough ingredients with a thiol redox protein to form a dough and baking the dough to form a baked good. The method of the present invention preferably uses reduced thioredoxin with wheat flour which imparts a stronger dough and higher loaf volumes. Methods for reducing snake, bee and scorpion toxin proteins with a thiol redox (SH) agent and thereby inactivating the protein or detoxifying the protein in an individual are also provided. Protease inhibitors, including the Kunitz and Bowman-Birk trypsin inhibitors of soybean, were also reduced by the NADP/thioredoxin system (NADPH, thioredoxin, and NADP-thioredoxin reductase). When reduced by thioredoxin, the Kunitz and Bowman-Birk soybean trypsin inhibitors lose their ability to inhibit trypsin. Moreover, the reduced form of the inhibitors showed increased susceptibility to heat and proteolysis by either subtilisin or a protease preparation from germinating wheat seeds. The 2S albumin of castor seed endosperm was reduced by thioredoxin. Thioredoxin was reduced by either NADPH and NADP-thioredoxin reductase or dithiothreitol. Analyses showed that thioredoxin actively reduced the intramolecular disulfides of the 2S large subunit, but was ineffective in reducing the intermolecular disulfides that connect the large to the small subunit. A novel cystine containing protein that inhibits pullulanase was isolated; thioredoxin reduction of this protein destroyed or greatly reduced its inhibitory activity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a super twisted nematic liquid crystal display capable of forming plating layers composed of Ni, Ni+Al or Ni, Ni+Au using electroless plating on both sides of the indium tin oxide electrode. The liquid crystal display with a low resistance electrode includes an indium tin oxide transparent electrode formed on a glass substrate at a predetermined distance from one another, and first and second metal layers formed on both sides of the ITO transparent electrode. As a result, line resistance by line voltage drop of the transparent electrode can be reduced to obtain the uniform picture quality.
