Abstract: A pocketed electrode plate for use in a lithium ion secondary battery, its manufacturing method and a lithium ion secondary battery using the same. The pocketed electrode plate of the present invention comprises: an electrode plate which has a coating layer of an electrode active material and a non-coated projection  portion, the electrode active material being capable of reversibly insderting and extracting lithium ions; separating membranes which cover both sides of the electrode plate while exposing only the non-coated projection portion; and an insulating polymer film which contains an adhesive component and is placed between the separating membranes at least on the portion of the external edge of the electrode plate in order to bond and fix the separating membranes. A plurality of pocketed electrode plates may be mass produced by using a pressing roll. These pocketed electrode plates are used to manufacture ultra-slim lithium ion secondary batteries. According to the present invention, the energy density of the finished lithium ion secondary battery can be increased significantly due to better utilization of the volume inside the battery container.

Abstract: A display has circuitry (50) which generates all possible pixel drive signal levels on separate signal level lines. A buffer (54) is associated with each signal level line. The outputs of the buffers are selectably switchable onto the columns. The signal levels for each column are stored in a memory (72) and the buffers are controlled in dependence on the stored signal levels. The response of the buffers is heavily dependent on the output load, and there is a very large variation in the output load of the buffers (54), as a function of the number of columns to which the buffer output is to be provided. The buffers are controlled in dependence on stored signal levels to ensure stability of the buffers for any output load.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric kettle which comprises a kettle, a temperature sensor, a device for adjusting the target temperature TZiel and an electronic regulator. For heating water, the following steps are carried out: measuring the start temperature TStart; determining the heat capacity Csys of the system; calculating a temperature difference  DELTA TSZ from a preselected target temperature TZiel and the measured start temperature TStart; if the temperature difference  DELTA TSZ is equal  DELTA Tklein, the electric kettle is heated up at a reduced capacity Pred for a calculated period of time  DELTA Tred; or, if the temperature difference  DELTA TSZ is greater than  DELTA Tklein, the electric kettle is heated up in a regulated manner, the regulator calculating a temperature Tend that can be measured on the temperature sensor, and the heating process is ended when this temperature is reached. The inventive method prevents thermal overshoot during heating of a thermal capacity that is caused when the heating is switched off too late. The inventive method further takes into consideration the time delay between the point in time when the heating is switched on and when a temperature increase on the sensor can be detected.

Abstract: The invention relates to ammonia synthesis loops containing gasses, which do not react and would accumulate if they were not purged out. By the present invention ammonia in a purge gas is recovered by an adsorption agent operating at the full synthesis loop pressure. The adsorption agent is chosen in such a way that the ammonia can be removed again by passing a gas comprising hydrogen and nitrogen through it at the same elevated pressure as the loop pressure. This enables the adsorption agent to be regenerated by fresh synthesis gas coming from the synthesis gas compressor just before this gas enters the synthesis loop. Thereby, the regeneration requires an absolute minimum of energy consumption and equipment.
