Abstract: An improved structure of paper cup, which comprising: a cup body and bottom; the cup body is designed with an annular side wall, and an outward folded arced cup edge is set on the ring edge at one end; the annular side wall is provided with an annular side wall mated with the annular side wall of the cup body far away from the cup edge to form holding space; the cup body and bottom form a holding space; particularly, an inflexed edge is formed at the annular side walls where the cup body is abutted with the cup bottom, thus reducing the height of the annular side wall for the mating of the cup body and bottom; when a large number of paper cups are stacked, the gap between cups could be reduced, thus increasing the storage amount and saving the storage and transportation cost.

Abstract: Instead of CCS technique, a possible approach to mitigate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is to decompose it into useful products. This invention shows a high temperature rechargeable battery system for decomposition of oxygen-containing gases (e.g CO2/H2O, NOx, SOx, in particular GHG), oxygen generation, and energy storage by using ODF/La2NiO4-based materials in Li/Ti/Mg—CO2 battery architecture. Different from ionic Lithium conducting electrolyte, the invention has a higher ionic oxygen conducting electrolyte to work efficiently at higher temperature without sacrificing safety. During battery discharge, GHG can be decomposed into syngas (CO+H2) or solid carbon, while renewable energy (e.g. solar/wind power) could be used to charge the battery and generate oxygen. The energy consumption for GHG decomposition is self-sustainable and the byproducts (i.e. carbon/syngas and oxygen) have good market values.

The adoption of cost effective materials other than Lithium is significant for scaled-up applications and represents an entirely new approach.

Abstract: An insulation paper cup, which mainly comprises an inner cup, intermediate layer and external cardboard; the inner cup is provided with a bottom at one end and an opening at the other end, and the opening is fitted with a flange; the intermediate layer made of PLA foaming materials is arranged at periphery of the inner cup, while the external cardboard is adhered onto the intermediate layer and printed with letters or patterns; with this combined structure, the insulation paper cup features excellent heat/cold insulation and non-condensing effect; due to the characteristics of PLA such as: natural property, non-toxicity, recyclability and environmental friendliness, the product can be recycled without causing any disposal problems and any burden on the environment.

Abstract: Oxygen Deficient Ferrites (ODF) electrodes integrated with Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte, electrochemically decompose carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon (C)/carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O2) in a continuous process. The ODF electrodes can be kept active by applying a small potential bias across the electrodes. CO2 and water (H2O) can also be electrolyzed simultaneously to produce syngas (H2+CO) and O2 continuously that can be fed back to the oxy-fuel combustion. With this approach, CO2 can be transformed into a valuable fuel source allowing CO2 neutral use of the hydrocarbon fuels.

Abstract: A recycling and treatment method of mono silicon's cutting waste liquid, which includes the following steps: 1. treat the waste liquid with diluted hydrochloric acid, then stir into an easy-to-flow mixture; 2. heat up the mixture for solid-liquid separation, such that water and polyethylene glycol are evaporated, condensed and dehydrated to recover the polyethylene glycol, and obtain coarse solid mixture of silicon carbide and silicon; 3. obtain the secondary solid mixture of silicon carbide and silicon by secondary cleaning of the coarse solid mixture with water; 4. recycle silicon and silicon carbide by treatment with the mixed acid solution of HN03+HF. This method features simplicity, ease of operation, low cost and high recycling rate, with the overall yield of cutting waste liquid up to 26-46%; moreover, the quality of recycled products can reach or approach the standard indexes, so they can be directly used in solar battery production.

Abstract: A notebook computer includes a plurality of securing holes formed on a bottom surface thereof and a plurality of footpads mounted to the bottom surface of the notebook computer through the securing holes. Each footpad includes an inner element and an outer element, and the outer element is moulded on the inner element and has a large friction coefficient. The inner element has at least one securing post formed on a top surface thereof for respectively insertion into the securing hole of the notebook computer. The footpad is formed by an integrated injection moulding process in which the inner element is first moulded, and then the outer element is moulded on the inner element. The moulding efficiency is improved. Further, the footpad features anti-slipping due to the large friction coefficient of the outer element.

Abstract: Activated protein C (APC), a prodrug, and/or a variant of APC may be used to inhibit undesirable effects of plasminogen activator: e.g., apoptosis or cell death of neurons and endothelial cells, brain hemorrhage or intracerebral bleeding, and/or tissue damage in a subject's brain. Inhibition appears to act through the extrinsic pathway of death receptor signal transduction. This represents an improvement in treatment using plasminogen activator (e.g., fibrinolysis). By reducing undesirable effects, the window for fibrinolytic therapy by plasminogen activator may be widened.

Abstract: Insulating paper container including an inner paper cup and an outer paper cup. The inner cup includes a base and double bulge rings and the inner side of outer cup is coated evenly with chemical laminating agent and foaming agent. Space between the two bulge rings allows foaming when the inner cup is placed within the outer cup. The two bulge rings stabilize the structure of the outer cup hence to form a complete insulating paper container unit, and provide a foam insulating layer between the inner and outer cups by heat activating the chemical laminating agent and foaming agent. Therefore the present invention offers a safe and insulated insulating paper container.
