  • ALKALINE BATTERY INCLUDING LAMBDA-MANGANESE DIOXIDE AND METHOD OF MAKING THEREOF
    Publication number: 20110223477
    Abstract: A primary battery includes a cathode having a cathode active material including a blend or composite of ?-MnO2 and one or more additional cathode active materials, an anode, a separator between the cathode and the anode, and an alkaline electrolyte.
    Type: Application
    Filed: March 12, 2010
    Publication date: September 15, 2011
    Inventors: Jennifer A. Nelson, Kirakodu S. Nanjundaswamy, Fan Zhang, Paul A. Christian
  • CATHODE ACTIVE MATERIALS AND METHOD OF MAKING THEREOF
    Publication number: 20110219607
    Abstract: A method of making a primary alkaline battery that includes a cathode including ?-MnO2 as an active material, an anode including zinc or zinc alloy as an active material, a separator between the cathode and anode, and an alkaline electrolyte contacting the anode and cathode having improved discharge performance. Methods of making high-purity, essentially lithium-free ?-MnO2 having high electrochemical activity from nominally stoichiometric lithium manganese oxide spinels are disclosed.

  • Aptamers to Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor and Their Use as Bleeding Disorder Therapeutics
    Publication number: 20110098345
    Abstract: The invention relates generally to the field of nucleic acids and more particularly to aptamers that bind to TFPI, which are useful as therapeutics in and diagnostics of bleeding disorders and/or other diseases or disorders in which TFPI has been implicated. In addition, the TFPI aptamers may be used before, during and/or after medical procedures to reduce complications or side effects thereof. The invention further relates to materials and methods for the administration of aptamers that bind to TFPI.

  • Hydrogen storage material based on platelets and/or a multilayered core/shell structure
    Patent number: 7288325
    Abstract: A hydrogen storage material includes a nano size material that can be formed in a multi-layered core/shell structure and/or in a nanotabular (or platelet) form.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 15, 2004
    Date of Patent: October 30, 2007

  • Real estate appraisal using predictive modeling
    Patent number: 5361201
    Abstract: An automated real estate appraisal system (100) and method generates estimates of real estate value using a predictive model such as a neural network (908). The predictive model (908) generates these estimates based on learned relationships among variables describing individual property characteristics (905) as well as general neighborhood characteristics at various levels of geographic specificity (906). The system (100) may also output reason codes indicating relative contributions (1009) of various variables to a particular result, and may generate reports (701) describing property valuations, market trend analyses, property conformity information, and recommendations regarding loans based on risk related to a property.
