  • Patent number: 11965254
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a manufacturing apparatus and method for customizing a H2/CO synthetic gas in a desired ratio by producing a synthetic gas in which H2 and CO are mixed through hydrolysis of both carbon dioxide and a nitrogen compound with low power. In a low-power electrochemical apparatus for producing a synthetic gas according to the present invention, by performing the reduction of the carbon dioxide at the cathode and the oxidation of the nitrogen compound at the anode at the same time, carbon dioxide conversion efficiency may be improved 30% or more compared to the conventional carbon dioxide conversion system, and a synthetic gas with a desired H2/CO ratio may be produced by controlling the H2/CO ratio of the produced synthetic gas, and by reducing a driving voltage, the corrosion problem of electrode materials may be inhibited and the durability of electrodes may be increased.

  • Publication number: 20240123133
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device capable of wrapping the outer wall of a blood vessel, and a method for manufacturing the device. If the device for wrapping the outer wall of a blood vessel of the present invention is used, the outer wall of a blood vessel is wrapped, and, thereby, vortex generation can be significantly decreased by controlling abnormal expansion of the blood vessel which can occur due to the difference in the characteristics of blood vessels in a vein-artery graft model. The present invention saves a blood vessel from a low-oxygen state by promoting generation of new blood vessels on the outer wall of the blood vessel via a regenerative inflammatory response caused by the material of the device, and provides synergy effects such as prevention of vascular stenosis and reinforcement of an outer muscular layer by guiding venous muscular cells to the outside.
