Abstract: A pre-folding apparatus for a pouch-type battery includes: a main frame, a rib, a pusher support portion, and a pusher. The main frame includes a pair of columns and a horizontal bar configured to connect upper portions of the columns. The rib installed to be fixed across the pair of columns under the horizontal bar has a forming protrusion whose upper end is flat. The pusher support portion disposed above the rib includes a linear driving portion configured to move the pusher support portion in a vertical direction along the columns. Finally, the pusher installed at the pusher support portion is aligned with the forming protrusion.

The apparatus for measuring pH in a single cell comprises: a nanoprobe formed by labeling a pH-responsive fluorescent material to a nanowire grown on a tapered tip of an optical fiber; a manipulator capable of regulating a three-dimensional movement of the nanoprobe to insert the nanoprobe into a single living cell; a light source for applying light to the optical fiber; an optical coupler for connecting the optical fiber with another optical fiber to transmit the light incident through the optical fiber to the nanoprobe and to transmit a fluorescence signal obtained from the nanoprobe through the another optical fiber; and a spectrometer for obtaining a pH value by receiving the fluorescence signal through the another optical fiber and analyzing spectral data from the fluorescence signal.

Abstract: Provided is a method of fabricating a micro/nanowire having a nanometer- to micrometer-sized diameter at predetermined positions on an object. The method comprises: preparing a micro/nanopipette having a tip with an inner diameter (dpt) which is substantially the same as the diameter of the micro/nanowire to be fabricated; filling the micro/nanopipette with a solution containing a micro/nanowire-forming material; bringing the solution into contact with the object through the tip of the micro/nanopipette; and pulling the micro/nanopipette apart from the object at a pulling speed lower than or equal to a predetermined critical pulling speed (vc) to fabricate a micro/nanowire having substantially the same diameter as the inner diameter of the micro/nanopipette tip (dpt). The critical pulling speed (vc) is defined by a maximum limit of the pulling speed at which the micro/nanowire to be fabricated has the same diameter as the inner diameter of the micro/nanopipette tip (dpt).
