Abstract: Disclosed herein is a three-dimensional electrode terminal of a battery having an electrode assembly mounted in a pouch-shaped case, wherein a part of the electrode terminal, which is exposed from the battery case, has a predetermined thickness, and has a perpendicular surface (a perpendicular end surface) formed on the end thereof. According to the present invention, it is possible to easily accomplish the connection between the electrode terminal and the electrically connecting member without modifying the shape of the electrode terminal, and it is possible to easily accomplish the connection for detecting the voltage, the current, and the temperature of the battery. Furthermore, the mechanical strength of the three-dimensional electrode terminal according to the present invention is higher than that of the conventional plate-shaped electrode terminal. Consequently, the stability of the three-dimensional electrode terminal is high in the state that the electrode terminal is electrically connected with the electrically connecting member, and the electrical connection is easily accomplished even in a small space, especially when batteries are stacked one on another with high density so as to manufacture a medium- or large-sized battery module.

Abstract: Animals with mutations in  COL4±4  present with autosomal recessive Alport Syndrome (ARAS). Through sequencing of  COL4±4,  the mutation causative for ARAS in the English Cocker Spaniel (ECS) has been identified. The resulting protein is severely truncated due to a premature stop codon in exon 3. This nonsense mutation occurs in the 7S domain and also causes the loss of the entire collagenous and NC1 domains of the protein. Methods for the identification of animals that harbor a mutation in the  COL4±4  gene are described. Mutations in the  COL4±4  gene can be identified from any biological sample such as a cell or tissue that contains genomic DNA. Methods for identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are inherited with the disease are also described. A microsatellite marker that segregates with ARAS is also described that was identified using linkage disequilibrium mapping.

Granted: 2011-11-30
Abstract: A method of target recognition performs a 3D comparison of target and reference data. Translation invariant signatures are derived from the two data sets, and an estimate of the orientation of the target with respect to the reference is obtained. Rotational alignment and comparison can then be achieved. The 3D data sets can be represented on an axi-symmetric surface such as a sphere and rotational convolution, over a discrete set of selected rotation angles can be performed. Optic flow can be used to derive the estimate of orientation or the target relative to the reference, in terms of a displacement field.
