Abstract: The present invention relates to a secondary battery supporting the center part of an electrode assembly to enhance stability and reliability. For example, disclosed is a secondary battery comprising: an electrode assembly formed by winding a first electrode plate, a separator and a second electrode plate; a case for accommodating the electrode assembly; a current collection plate electrically connected to the first electrode plate and coupled to the upper part of the electrode assembly; and a core insulation member coupled to a winding center of the electrode assembly at the upper part of the current collection plate, wherein the core insulation member includes an insertion part having an inner hole, and a flange part extending in the horizontal direction from the upper end of the insertion part.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrode assembly and a secondary battery comprising same, the electrode assembly comprising a cathode plate having a leading side formed to be slanted, so that stress exerted by distortion occurring at a center winding portion during charging and discharging of a secondary battery can be distributed, thus preventing the cathode plate from penetrating a separator at the distorted site causing a short with an anode plate.

Abstract: The present invention provides, among other things, compositions and methods for CNS delivery of Idursulfase-beta, a human recombinant iduronate-2-sulfatase protein, for effective treatment of Hunter Syndrome. The compositions and methods provided by the present invention effectively reduce symptoms not only in brain and spinal cord but also in peripheral tissues including heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney.

Abstract: Integrated sensing device for sensing both the water level and the rotating unbalance in a washing machine. The sensing device includes a magnetic sensor coupled to the casing of the washing machine and a magnetic body coupled to the washing tub of the washing machine. The sensed magnetic force indicates a position of the washing tub relative to the casing. While the washing water is supplied, the weight of the washing water causes the washing tub to move to a lower position and thereby the sensed magnetic force decreases. The water supply is shut off once the magnetic force decreases to a first preset value. Moreover, during a spin-drying process, if the sensed magnetic field decreases to a second predetermined value which indicates presence of rotating unbalance, the rotation is stopped and a preliminary spin-drying process is initiated.

Abstract: A washing machine can include a washing part configured to wash, rinse, and/or spin-dry laundry after water is supplied to a washing tub of the washing machine; a drain part, including a drain pipe connected to the washing part and a drain hose connected to a drain hole, and a pump configured to rotate an impeller connected to a rotation shaft of the pump in a forward direction or a backward direction; and a controller configured to rotate the impeller in the backward direction and circulate wash water into the washing tub through the drain pipe during a washing operation, and rotate the impeller of the pump in the forward direction and discharge the wash water through the drain hose during a drain operation.

Abstract: A television mounting system includes a wall plate, at least one monitor arm mountable on the wall plate, and a locking element permanently connected with the wall plate and being movable between an unlocked position for enabling dismounting of the at least one monitor arm from the wall plate and a locked position for preventing dismounting of the at least one monitor arm from the wall plate. The locking element may be pivotally attached to the wall plate for pivoting between the unlocked and locked positions. The at least one monitor arm cannot be removed from the wall plate when the locking element is in the locked position.

Abstract: An apparatus for counting doses of a dispenser (12) is provided which includes a housing (14) for releasably attaching to the dispenser; and, a dose counter (30) operatively connected to the housing. The dose counter displays indicia relating to doses of the dispenser. The dose counter may be manually adjusted or configured to be automatically adjusted to permit counting of the number of times the housing is separated from the dispenser. The number of separations will indicate the number of doses administered by the dispenser. Advantageously, with the subject invention, a dose counter is provided which counts doses separately from the actuation of the dispenser/ With the dose counter being separate from the dispenser, the dose counter may be reused with a plurality of dispensers. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the invention may apply to various dispensers, but is particularly well-suited for use with inhalers.

Abstract: A television mounting system is disclosed. It includes a wall plate adapted to be secured to a wall and a monitor plate mountable on the wall plate. Expansion plates may be secured at selected locations on the monitor plate to accommodate mounting of various sizes of display screens, such as flat panel televisions.
