  • Ion beam lithography is preferred over electron beam lithography due to its wide range of advantages like proximity effects, resist sensitivity, and backscattering, which is anticipated to contribute significantly to the market.

Ceylon Graphite Achieves New Outstanding Full Cell Performance of its Anode for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, March 2, 2023

Ceylon Graphite’s vein graphite anode material exceeded comparable anodes made with industry standard commercial synthetic graphite and were able to achieve excellent reproducibility in the tests carried out from 2021 through to 2023.

Key Points: 
  • Ceylon Graphite’s vein graphite anode material exceeded comparable anodes made with industry standard commercial synthetic graphite and were able to achieve excellent reproducibility in the tests carried out from 2021 through to 2023.
  • This is the first time that spherodized vein graphite materials were tested in a lithium-ion battery full cell.
  • The outstanding performance of Ceylon Graphite’s vein graphite material against current commercially used synthetic graphite is due to the high crystallinity of Sri Lankan vein graphite and the near- perfect morphology of the coated spherodized anode material (shown in the SEM image) produced by proprietary processing and spheroidizing technology of Ceylon Graphite Technologies.
  • The results prove the suitability of our material for lithium-ion battery anodes for either stand alone or possible blending with synthetic graphite.

BioCryst Presents New Long-term and Real-world Data Demonstrating Sustained Reductions in Hereditary Angioedema Attack Rates and Improvement in Quality of Life with ORLADEYO® (berotralstat)

Retrieved on: 
Friday, February 24, 2023

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Feb. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: BCRX) today announced new data from the APeX-S and APeX-2 clinical trials which evaluated oral, once-daily ORLADEYO® (berotralstat) for the prophylactic treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE) demonstrating sustained reductions in attack rates and improvement in quality of life (QoL) among patients living with HAE, highlighting its profile as a well-tolerated, effective and convenient prophylactic HAE therapeutic option.

Key Points: 
  • Overall, treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) reported in APeX-2 and APeX-S were mild and transient, indicating that ORLADEYO was generally well tolerated.
  • Overall, attack rates subsequently decreased upon initiation with ORLADEYO and remained consistently low through 360 days on therapy.
  • Clinically meaningful and sustained reductions in HAE attack rates were observed in patients receiving ORLADEYO 150 mg (n=287).
  • Patients experienced sustained reductions in attacks throughout treatment through 24 months, consistent with previously reported data, further supporting the long-term safety and effectiveness of ORLADEYO.
