A method of controlling Legionella bacteria in cooling water systems is described. The method involves the heating of recirculating cooling water to temperatures of 70° C. for sufficient time to kill the bacteria. The method functions best in combination with chemical bactericides.

A medicament for treatment of cancer or other diseases by increasing cellular oxygenation is described wherein a composition of oils is used that provides a ratio of parent omega 6 to parent omega 3 that is greater than 1:1 and preferably within a range from about 1.1:1 to about 5:1. Most preferably, the ratio is about 2.6:1. The medicament may be administered via capsule or liquid form and preferably on a periodic basis, such as daily. In further embodiments, the medicament may be applied in topical ointment form.

What is disclosed is a method of maximizing the juice obtained from juicing a sweet potato by freezing and thawing the sweet potato. Sweet potatoes are considered a “super food” in today's culture due to the large number of vitamins found within sweet potatoes. At current, sweet potato juice by itself is not known to be disseminated in significant commercial quantities, which may be due to an inability to obtain commercially viable amounts of sweet potato juice with a reasonable economic expenditure. Accordingly, what is disclosed is a method of obtaining the juice economically with potential uses of the juice discussed.

A nickel based coating may include 15 to 40 wt % cobalt, 10 to 25 wt % chromium, 5 to 15 wt % aluminum, 0.05 to 1 wt % yttrium and / or at least one of elements from lanthanum series, 0.05 to 8 wt % ruthenium or iron, 0 to 1 wt % iridium, 0.05 to 5 wt % molybdenum, 0 to 3 wt % silicon, 0 to 5 wt % tantalum, 0 to 2 wt % hafnium, unavoidable impurities, and a balance of nickel. A cobalt based coating may include 15 to 40 wt % nickel, 15 to 28 wt % chromium, 5 to 15 wt % aluminum, 0.05 to 1 wt % yttrium and / or at least one of elements from lanthanum series, 0.05 to 5 wt % ruthenium and / or molybdenum, 0 to 2 wt % iridium, 0 to 3 wt % silicon, 0 to 5 wt % tantalum, hafnium, unavoidable impurities, and a balance of cobalt.

A fiber-coated marine material has antifouling properties, without necessarily containing bioactive agents. At least a part of the marine material is covered by piles of fibers having a thickness of at least 50 μm and a fiber length of at least 3 mm. The thickness-to-length ratio of the fibers is at least 0.010, and the piles of fibers have a density lower than 40 fibers / mm2. The fiber coating can be directly applied onto the marine material, such as ropes and construction parts, or can be present on sheets which can be applied on the marine equipment.

A medicament for the treatment of cancer and other diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, by increasing cellular oxygenation is described wherein a composition of organically grown, chemically unprocessed and unrefined oils is used that provides a ratio of parent omega-6 to parent omega-3 that is greater than 1:1 and preferably within a range from about 1.1:1 to about 5:1. Most preferably, the ratio is about 2.6:1. The medicament may be administered via capsule or liquid form and preferably on a periodic basis, such as daily. In further embodiments, the medicament may be applied in topical ointment form.

Disclosed herein are a stacking type electrode assembly constructed in a cathode / separator / anode structure, wherein the electrode assembly is provided at a predetermined region thereof with at least one through-hole, and a pair of holding members (a male coupling member and a female coupling member) constructed in a male-female coupling type structure is inserted through the through-hole inside a battery case, an outer surface of the female coupling member being brought into tight contact with the through-hole when the male coupling member is inserted into the female coupling member while the female coupling member having an outer diameter less than an inner diameter of the through-hole is inserted through the through-hole, and a secondary battery including the same. The electrode assembly according to the present invention has the effect of restraining the cathodes and the anodes from being moved separately from the separators, when an external force is applied to the electrode assembly, thereby preventing the occurrence of internal short circuits, and eventually, improving the safety of a secondary battery including the electrode assembly. Furthermore, the electrode assembly according to the present invention has the effect of restraining the movement of the electrodes due to repetitive contraction and expansion of the electrode assembly during the charge and discharge of the secondary battery.

A nickel based coating may include 15 to 40 wt % cobalt, 10 to 25 wt % chromium, 5 to 15 wt % aluminum, 0.05 to 1 wt % yttrium and / or at least one of elements from lanthanum series, 0.05 to 8 wt % ruthenium or iron, 0 to 1 wt % iridium, 0.05 to 5 wt % molybdenum, 0 to 3 wt % silicon, 0 to 5 wt % tantalum, 0 to 2 wt % hafnium, unavoidable impurities, and a balance of nickel.

A rhenium alloy is provided having from about 50 atomic % to 99 atomic % rhenium and a refractory compound particulates that are present in the alloy in an amount up to about 10 atomic %. The refractory compound comprises a nano-scale dispersion that is incorporated into the conventional rhenium structure. The nano-scale dispersion acts as grain boundary pins that result in a relatively fine grained, equiaxed structure that improves the mechanical properties of the alloy and helps to minimize the growth of large grains during operations at high temperatures. As a result, the amount of the rhenium used in high temperature applications may be reduced without sacrificing its high temperature and mechanical properties. Cryomilling in the presence of nitrogen may be used to prepare the rhenium alloy having a stable fine grain structure at high temperatures.
