Abstract: A bipolar battery includes a plurality of anodes and cathodes alternately stacked and isolated by separators with a through hole being formed at a center portion of each, and with a plurality of insertion holes being formed at peripheral portions of each, an anode connection member and cathode connection member inserted into the insertion holes of the anodes and cathodes, an anode insulation member formed at the bottom of the anode connection member, a cathode insulation member formed on the top of the cathode connection member, an anode contact member facilitating electrical connection of the anodes and an anode connection member, a cathode contact member facilitating electrical connection of the cathodes and a cathode connection member, an outer support member supporting the stacked anodes and cathodes, an electrolyte injection member inserted into the through holes of the anodes, cathodes, and separators for enabling injection of an electrolyte into the stacked anodes and cathodes, and a collector being sh

Abstract: The present invention relates to 3(2H)-furanone compounds possessing fungicidal activity to plant fungi and a process for preparing them.

Abstract: A face mask for the delivery of a gas to a patient includes a body portion forming an open sided chamber having a peripheral edge for contacting the face of the patient. The body portion has an integrally formed nose portion and chin portion and increases in width from the nose portion toward the chin portion giving the body portion generally triangular shape. A nose portion has a reduced dimension such that a contour of the nose portion conforms to the contour of the nose of the patient forming a sealing fit therebetween. The nose portion has an upper end terminating in all apex extending toward the bridge of the nose and is configured to contact the nose at a point substantially below the bridge of the nose so as to eliminate interference between the nose portion and the eyes of the patient. An elastic strap is secured proximal the peripheral edge of body portion to retain the face mask against the face of the patient.
