  • SECONDARY BATTERY HAVING IMPROVED SAFETY
    Publication number: 20120114990
    Abstract: Provided are a secondary battery, a battery module, and a battery pack, which have improved safety. Particularly, since a bulletproof material is disposed on the inside and/or the outside of an exterior part, even when a conductive needle-shaped member penetrates a secondary battery, heating, burning, discharge of evaporated electrolyte, and electrical contact between the needle-shaped member and an electrode can be prevented, thereby improving safety of the secondary battery, the battery module, and the battery pack.

  • Shaping apparatus for fruits and root and tuberous vegetables
    Patent number: 8136443
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed which can shape fruits and root and tuberous vegetables. The shaping apparatus is operated in such a manner that: when root and tuberous vegetable or fruit is placed in a cutting blade case and rotated, the object is spirally tracked and the spirally tracked object is removed from the lower side of the cutting blade case, so that the spirally tracked object is picked up by an additional stick and then ornamented into various forms. The shaping apparatus allows fruits and root and tuberous vegetables to be easily treated in a variety of ways, as per the second process, thereby enhancing the product value of processed foodstuffs produced from the first process.
