(US2004170898-A1)   NOVELTY - A non-aqueous electrolyte battery has cathode (7) having cathode active material containing lithium, anode (6) having anode active material capable of being doped with/dedoped from lithium, and non-aqueous electrolyte including electrolyte salt. The anode active material is composed of a mixture of carbonaceous materials having different average particle sizes.    USE - Used in electronic devices.    ADVANTAGE - The invention is capable of increasing energy density without deteriorating battery characteristics.
NOVELTY - A non-aqueous electrolyte comprises a lithium salt, an organic solvent, and 0.1-1 wt.% of an ethylene derivative compound additive with respect to total weight of the electrolyte.    USE - For lithium secondary battery, such as polymer-electrolyte lithium secondary battery (both claimed), for portable electronic instruments.    ADVANTAGE - The battery using the non-aqueous electrolyte, is provided with the organic solid electrolyte interface film. Therefore the electrode is prevented from contacting the electrolyte directly. Consequently, the organic solid electrolyte interface film prohibits the decomposition of electrolyte and gas generation and modification of electrolyte. The reduced gas generation prevents an increase of incoming pressure and swelling of battery. As the electrolyte is prevented from being modified, the amount of electrolyte does not decrease, and the life cycle characteristics and charging and discharging characteristics of the battery are enhanced. The battery is also prevented from thickness increase when charged at room temperature and stored at high temperature.

NOVELTY - The turbine- (2) generator unit (1) includes rotating blades (3a, 3b). At their outer ends they are interference-fitted to an annular rotor (9) of the generator (8). The generator stator (10) is concentric about the rotor (9) and fixed in the module.    USE - A modular array of hydroelectric generators.    ADVANTAGE - Weight is reduced and module efficiency is increased, in comparison with prior art. Oscillation instability is reduced. Installation length is significantly smaller.
NOVELTY - Converting water into fuel comprises mixing water with ethanol in a certain ratio by weight; heating and evaporating the obtained mixture to obtain a vapor mixture; and passing the vapor mixture through a direct current (DC) electric field.    USE - For converting water into fuel for use as secondary fuel for engines using gasoline, diesel oil or gas as fuel.    ADVANTAGE - The invention converts water into fuel which is employed as an auxiliary fuel of the oil and gas used in the existing power equipment to save the energy sources, reduce the consumption of the oil and gas and alleviate the environmental pollution. The apparatus of the invention can be operated safely and maintained conveniently and easily.
NOVELTY - The device comprises shell, mixing apparatus, motor and inlet for organic garbage. A digestion cell, which is covered by oil jacket heating chamber with electric heater, is surrounded by insulating material, is formed inside shell and waste gas deodorization apparatus is arranged on top back corner of shell. The garbage mixing apparatus is installed on support shaft of digestion cell and driven by the motor.    USE - For decomposing organic garbage completely by biochemical treatment.    ADVANTAGE - Organic garbage is decomposed completely and the device discharges no liquid or solid residue.
(AU2003100084-B4)   NOVELTY - Processing abalone involves separating intact abalone muscle tissue from process waste; processing intact muscle tissue for food; and isolating protein or other natural products from the process waste.    USE - The method is used to produce protein products from abalone process waste. These protein products may be used as substitute for collagen and gelatin, or as hemocyanin.    ADVANTAGE - The method recovers valuable products from abalone process waste.
NOVELTY - A modifier (6) heats and modifies power generating fuel (7) of solid oxide fuel cell (1), using the exhaust gas (13) ejected after performing an industrial process. The exhaust gas from the cell (1), is used as oxidant for performing industrial process.    USE - For industrial process.    ADVANTAGE - Enables effective use of exhaust gas with efficient solid oxide fuel cell reforming and simplifies solid oxide fuel module and increases efficiency of the solid oxide fuel cell.
