Abstract: A secondary battery includes an electrode assembly having a positive electrode provided with a positive electrode tab, a separator, and a negative electrode provided with a negative electrode tab, the positive electrode, the separator, and the negative electrode being wound, the electrode assembly having a core part at a center thereof; a can configured to receive the electrode assembly therein, the negative electrode tab being connected to the can; a cap assembly coupled to an opening of the can, the positive electrode tab being connected to the cap assembly; and a reinforcing member provided on an end of the separator exposed beyond the positive electrode or the negative electrode to prevent heat of the positive electrode tab or the negative electrode tab from being transferred to the separator.

Abstract: A chip-on-film package may include a film substrate including a chip region and an edge region, a semiconductor chip provided on the chip region and mounted on a top surface of the film substrate, the semiconductor chip including a chip pad adjacent to a bottom surface thereof, an input line and an output line provided on the edge region and disposed on the top surface of the film substrate, a connection terminal interposed between the film substrate and the semiconductor chip, and a redistribution pattern disposed between the semiconductor chip and the connection terminal.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a multi-well plate for imaging small animals, which is designed so that a well is not shadowed at the edge thereof to be suitable for imaging of small animals. The multi-well plate for imaging small animals includes a plurality of wells each in the form of a groove formed on a plate body to store small animals, wherein each of the wells is gently slanted at a boundary with the plate body to form a groove in order to prevent the well from being shadowed at the boundary with the plate body when the well is captured from above by a camera and then imaged. Therefore, it is possible to accurately identify the positions of small animals since imaging is smoothly performed even if a small animal is located at the edge of each well.

Abstract: Described herein are viral amplicon-based protein expression systems and methods useful for producing heterologous proteins, such as enzymes, by agroinfiltration. The methods involve producing an Agrobacterium with a Ti plasmid encoding a heterologous protein, infecting plant cells with the Agrobacterium, allowing expression of the heterologous protein, and recovering the heterologous protein from the plant cells. In one embodiment, the protein produced is an endoglucanase.
