Patent number: 11975296Abstract: A pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane from which the surface ion exchange polyelectrolyte has been removed and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane exhibits low film resistance and low in-plane-direction swelling degree, and has a smaller film-thickness than a commercial film, and thus, can be used for various purposes. In addition, since the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane is continuously manufactured through a roll-to-roll process, the manufacturing process is simple, and manufacturing costs can be greatly reduced.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2019Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Toray Advanced Materials Korea Inc.Inventors: Young Woo Choi, Mi Soon Lee, Tae Young Kim, Young Gi Yoon, Beom Jun Kim, Min Ho Seo, Chi Young Jung, Jong Min Lee, Nam-jo Jeong, Seung Cheol Yang, Ji Yeon Choi

Publication number: 20240145672Abstract: Provided is a positive electrode active material which includes an inner region that is a region from the center of the positive electrode active material particle to R/2, and an outer region that is a region from R/2 to the surface of the positive electrode active material particle, wherein R is a distance from the center of the positive electrode active material particle to the surface thereof. The positive electrode active material further includes 25% to 80% of crystallites C with respect to a total number of crystallites in the outer region. The crystallites C have a high crystallite long-axis orientation degree of 0.5 to 1 and a low crystallite c-axis orientation degree less than 0.5. Thus, the positive electrode active material has high capacity characteristics and a small amount of gas generated.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: LG Chem, Ltd.Inventors: Won Sig Jung, Hwan Young Choi, Jong Pil Kim, Yeo June Yoon, Kang Hyeon Lee, Tae Young Rhee, Yong Jo Jung

Patent number: 10604783Abstract: Methods and kits for detection of bacteria, especially Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus, are provided using a unique combination of selective ingredients and two-phase culture (solid-phase culture gel and liquid-phase culture/enrichment broth) allows for high sensitivity and specificity of the kits for growth of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus in the detection methods and kits. The invention, through the detection mechanism accomplished by the novel formulation of selective ingredients and the two-phase culture, allows for real-time detection of a single cell of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus within 24±2 hours of introducing a target sample to the Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus detection kits.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Mississippi State UniversityInventors: Tae Jo Kim, Angelo DePaola, Jessica L. Jones
