The present invention provides new compositions and methods for preventing and treating pathogen infection. In particular, the present invention provides compounds having an anchoring domain that anchors the compound to the surface of a target cell, and a therapeutic domain that can act extracellularly to prevent infection of a target cell by a pathogen, such as a virus. The present invention also comprises therapeutic compositions having sialidase activity, including protein-based compounds having sialidase catalytic domains. Compounds of the invention can be used for treating or preventing pathogen infection, and for treating and reducing allergic and inflammatory responses. The invention also provides compositions and methods for enhancing transduction of target cells by recombinant viruses. Such compositions and methods can be used in gene therapy.

A communication apparatus and a communication method prevent responses from being simultaneously received from two or more communicating parties. A first NFC apparatus transmits data for requesting IDs, and acquires IDs sent from second and third NFC apparatuses in reply to the request. After acquiring the IDs of the second and third NFC apparatuses, the first NFC apparatus transmits data that includes their IDs as the data for the second and third NFC apparatuses. If the first NFC apparatus cannot properly acquire the IDs of the second and third NFC apparatuses, then it sends the data for requesting their IDs again. Upon receipt of the request for the IDs, the second and third NFC apparatuses generate their own IDs by using random numbers and send the generated IDs. If the second and third NFC apparatuses receive the request for their IDs again, then they re-generate their own IDs by using random numbers, and send the re-generated IDs again. The present invention can be applied to, for example, an IC card system.

The invention relates to a production method of a boron nitride coated diaphragm of a lithium-sulfur battery. The diaphragm is produced from a commercial polypropylene diaphragm, two sides of the diaphragm are uniformly covered with hexagonal boron nitride, and the characteristics of hexagonal boron nitride 'white graphite' are used, so lithium ions are allowed to pass, shuttle of polysulfide anions is obstructed, a reaction of a lithium negative electrode with the polysulfide anions is inhibited, formation of lithium dendrites, lithium sulfide precipitate and fixed lithium is prevented, the capacity, the coulombic efficiency and the cycle stability of the lithium-sulfur battery are improved, the growth of the negative electrode metal dendrite in the cycle process is effectively inhibited, and the safety of the battery is improved. The method has the advantages of simple process route and clear purpose, and the produced diaphragm has multiple functions, and can greatly overcome disadvantages of present technologies.

The invention belongs to the technical field of medical image processing and computer vision, and particularly relates to a medical image segmentation method based on deep learning. According to the method, on the basis of U-Net Baseline, multiple technologies such as a multi-scale framework, a dense convolutional network, an attention mechanism, a pyramid model and small sample enhancement are fused, the method is helpful for realizing feature reuse, recovering lost context information, inhibiting response of an unrelated region and improving the performance of a small ROI, solves the problems of few ultrasonic image samples, low pixel, fuzzy boundary, large difference and other pain points, and obtains an optimal segmentation effect.

The invention provides a nonaqueous-electrolyte battery which produces few gas and has good battery characteristic. The nonaqueous-electrolyte battery has a positive electrode 3 including a positive active material, a negative electrode 4 including a negative active material having a lithium insertion / release potential higher than 1.0 V (vs. Li / Li+), and a nonaqueous electrolyte, wherein an organic compound having one or more isocyanato groups has been added to the nonaqueous electrolyte.

The present invention relates to a lithium ion battery employed by connecting the positive electrode side to a negative electrode portion made of Cu or a Cu alloy by a bus bar made of Al or an Al alloy and provides a negative electrode terminal for a lithium ion battery capable of providing sufficient bonding strength between the negative electrode portion and the bus bar when the negative electrode portion and the bus bar are metallurgically bonded to each other by resistance welding or the like, for example. This negative electrode terminal for a lithium ion battery is made of a clad material having a first metal layer made of Al or an Al alloy and a second metal layer made of Cu or a Cu alloy bonded to each other through a reaction-suppressing layer suppressing a reaction therebetween.

A hybrid HTTP / UDP delivery protocol provides significant improvements for delivery of video and other content over a network, such as an overlay. The approach is especially useful to address problems (e.g., slow startup times, rebuffering, and low bitrates) for HTTP-based streaming. In general, the protocol has two phases: an HTTP phase, and a UDP phase. In the HTTP phase, the client sends an HTTP GET request to a server. The GET request contains a transport header informing the server that the client would like to use UDP-based transfer over the protocol. The server may refuse this mode and continue in ordinary HTTP mode, or the server may respond by sending an empty response with header information informing the client how to make the connection to enter the UDP phase. In the UDP phase, the client initiates a connection and receives the originally-requested content over UDP.

The present invention provides a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and a non-aqueous electrolyte, wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte comprises a non-aqueous solvent and lithium salt as an electrolyte, and wherein the non-aqueous solvent contains chain fluorinated carboxylic acid ester represented by the formula CH3COOCH2CH3-xFx (wherein x is 2 or 3) and a film forming chemical decomposed in the range of +1.0 to 3.0 V based on an equilibrium potential between metal lithium and lithium ion.
