  • Patent number: 10454128
    Abstract: An electric storage apparatus includes a power-generating element, a case, and an electrode terminal. The power-generating element is configured to have electrode plates wound with a separator and has a reaction area. The electrode plate has a collector plate and an active material layer formed on a portion of the collector plate. A connecting region adjacent to the reaction area of the power-generating element, in a state in which a portion of the collector plate of the electrode plate is wound in layers, is connected to the electrode terminal, the active material layer being not formed on the portion. The power-generating element has a bent portion provided by folding back the electrode plate and a cut portion at a position adjacent to the bent portion and formed by cutting a portion of the connecting region. The electrode terminal is fixed to the cut portion.

  • Publication number: 20050233317
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is the development of a novel strategy for providing an effective biosensor which forms a conjugate and stabilizes only in the presence of a target protein or substance to be analyzed. That is, the present invention provides a modulate aptamer which specifically binds with a specific target protein, particularly a human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) Tat protein, and a method and kit for detecting the target protein, in particular, HIV-1 Tat protein using the modulate aptamer.
