Abstract: The present invention relates to a lithium
manganate useful as an active material of positive
electrodes for lithium batteries, and a process for
producing the same, a positive electrode which uses the
same as an active material of positive electrode, and a
lithium battery. The lithium manganate of the present
invention has a cubic particle form and contains voids in
the particles, and therefore lithium batteries using it as
an active material of positive electrodes provides a high
initial discharge capacity of at least 95 mAh/g and,
besides, are excellent in cycle characteristics.

Abstract: The invention relates to a detachable motorbike transport case (TC) comprising a
bottom shell (1) and a top shell (2) hinged to the bottom shell (1). A locking mechanism
(12a, 8, 31, 32, 39, 39a), preferably operable by a key (12), is arranged to selectively
lock the top shell (2) to the bottom shell (1). A handle (18) is articulated to
the transport case (TC) such as to be pivotable between a retracted position (Figure

     In order to enhance the functionality, comfort and safety of the motorbike transport
case, the locking mechanism comprises retaining means (11, 41) for retaining
the handle (18) in the retracted position thereof, and the locking mechanism can assume
a release state (90°) in which the retaining means (11, 41) release the handle
(18) from the retracted position. 
     In this manner, the handle (18) cannot move inadvertently to its projecting position
and the locked handle (18) cannot be moved to its projecting position by an unauthorised
person. The unlocking operation can be utilised to concurrently eject the
handle automatically to its projecting position which may provide access to a further
control element (e.g. an opening push button 16) that may have been covered by the
retracted handle (18).

IPC: G11C11/407

Abstract: This invention is a method for boosting the voltage level of a wordline in a DRAM
having bitlines, sense amplifiers, isolation devices, bitline loads, an X decoder device and a Y
select device. In the preferred method, when the wordline level reaches VDD, the decoder is
disabled causing the wordline to stay at the VDD level. The sensing amplifier is also caused
to be isolated so as to allow the wordline voltage to track the bitline voltage through capacitive
coupling across the access MOSFET of the memory cell being read or written to. As a result,
the wordline voltage is increased to a supervoltage as the bitline voltage increases. After the
supervoltage is reached on the wordline, the sensing amplifier is connected causing feedback
from the amplifier to drive the wordline voltage toward the VDD level and the disabled bit
toward GND during this time. At the end of the wordline clock signal, the voltage is at GND
and each of the bitlines are returned to their neutral mid-voltage level.

Abstract: The HETP (height equivalent to a theoretical plate) of a section (11) packed with

section to compensate for reduced descending phase flow by maintaining an essentially
constant phase ratio across the column section. In a preferred embodiment, the column
section is packed with a layer of mixed-resistance structured packing including a central
core (30) of first structured packing (26) and an outer annulus (28) of second structured
packing (24) generally horizontally adjacent the first structured packing and having
