Abstract: The present invention discloses a battery which is contained in a casing having an electrolyte as a conductive medium. The battery includes a first electrode of a first electric polarity formed as a single-body inserting electrode. The battery further includes a second electrode of a second electric polarity formed as a single-receiving-body with a cavity to receive the first electrode therein. The battery further includes a insulation layer for insulating the first electrode from the second electrode. In one of the preferred embodiments, the first electrode is formed as an elongated cylinder and the second electrode is formed as an elongated hollow-cylindrical shell to receive the first electrode therein. In another embodiment, the first electrode is formed as an elongated star-shape-body and the second electrode is formed as an elongated-hollow-body having a star-shape-cavity corresponding to the star-shape-body to receive the first electrode therein.

Abstract: A method of preparing a water-soluble or water-dispersible pesticidal composition is described. The pesticidal composition is prepared in a continuous process by intimately mixing a Bronsted acid precursor of the pesticidally active compound with a Bronsted base under reaction conditions in an extruder. The reaction is performed with minimal solvent and under conditions where the water of reaction volatilizes during the course of the reaction.

Abstract: Water emulsifiable ketoxime blocked polyol prepolymers which can be further mixed with a low melting diamine or diol curative and water to make a very low viscosity storage stable, castable, reactive mixture. The water and volatile ketoxime are driven off to form a polyurethane with excellent physical properties.
