Abstract: An endoscopic surgical instrument deploys a hemostatic clip during endoscopic submucosal resection. The hemostatic clip has an elongated collar configured to be detachably coupled to a shaft of the surgical instrument, a pair of jaws received in the collar, and a magnet coupled to the jaws.

Abstract: A method of performing an endoscopic submucosal resection includes using two magnet-attached hemostatic clips that are selectively coupled to one another via their respective magnets.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a hybrid negative plate for a lead-acid storage battery, that inhibits decrease in hydrogen gas evolution potential and improves rapid discharge cycle characteristics in PSOC. [Means for Resolution] In a hybrid negative plate for a lead-acid storage battery, comprising a negative electrode active material-filled plate having formed on the surface thereof a coating layer of a carbon mixture comprising a carbon material for ensuring conductivity, activated carbon for ensuring capacitor capacity and/or pseudocapacitor capacity, and at least a binder, activated carbon modified with a functional group is used as the activated carbon. Preferably, activated carbon modified with an acidic surface functional group is used.

Abstract: A method of paying the fee of recycling a used product is disclosed, which includes the steps of managing ID information of a recycle certificate issued and sales information indicating the recycle certificate sold to a discharger in a corresponding relation with each other to form a recycle certificate information, calculating a recycle certificate sales price based on contents of the recycle certificate information and demanding and receiving the calculated recycle certificate sales price, and paying the demanded recycle certificate sales price. As a result, the account for the fees of the product recycle among plural entities involved in the product recycle can be settled both accurately and properly.
