Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for detecting the contamination condition of lubricating grease of a mechanical component. The system comprises a radio frequency signal generator, a sensor, a switch assembly and a radio frequency signal analyzer. The radio frequency signal generator generates a radio frequency signal with a frequency higher than 1.0 GHz. The sensor contacts lubricating grease to be sensed in the mechanical component. The switch assembly switches between a first mode, in which a radio frequency signal is transmitted through a first transmission path, thereby providing a first feedback signal for the radio frequency signal analyzer, and a second mode in which the radio frequency signal is transmitted through a second transmission path, thereby providing a second feedback signal for the radio frequency signal analyzer. The radio frequency signal analyzer analyzes the first and second feedback signals to detect the contamination condition of lubricating grease.

Abstract: The present invention has for its object to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte for lithium air batteries capable of simultaneously holding back positive electrode overvoltage, reactions of the negative electrode with the electrolyte and dendrite growth during charging thereby making an improvement in the output performance, and a lithium air battery using the same. The invention provides a non-aqueous electrolyte for lithium air batteries, containing an organic solvent and a lithium salt. The lithium salt contains at least LiX (where X stands for Br and/or I) and lithium nitrate. The molar concentration (mol/L) of LiX in the non-aqueous electrolyte satisfies a range of no less than 0.005 to no greater than 2.0, and the molar concentration (mol/L) of the lithium nitrate in the non-aqueous electrolyte satisfies a range of greater than 0.1 to no greater than 2.0.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention relate to the use of novel oligonucleotides as temperature-sensitive inhibitors for thermostable DNA polymerases. Some inhibitors exhibit temperature-dependent and, in some cases, reversible inhibitory property by changing the conformation of at least a portion of the oligonucleotides from double-stranded to single stranded or in some cases vice versa in a temperature-dependent manner. Aspects also relate to the use of an the inhibitors in a hot-start PCR compositions, wherein the inhibitor may act to suppress the activity of the thermostable DNA polymerase below a desired activation temperature, Tact, and wherein the inhibitor is thermally inactivated above Tact, thus liberating the polymerase activity and initiating the DNA amplification process. Aspects further relate to a procedure for formulating the composition of a hot-start PCR reaction mixture. The hot-start PCR methods disclosed herein are generally faster, more flexible and lower in cost than existing methods.
