  2. Biobattery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biobattery

    Like any battery, bio-batteries consist of an anode, cathode, separator, and electrolyte with each component layered on top of another. Anodes and cathodes are the positive and negative areas on a battery that allow electrons to flow in and out. The anode is located at the top of the battery and the cathode is located at the bottom of the battery.

  3. Cell bank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_bank

    A cell bank is a facility that stores cells of specific genome for the purpose of future use in a product or medicinal needs, but can also describe the entity of stored cells itself. Cell banks often contain expansive amounts of base cell material that can be utilized for various projects.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britten–Davidson_model

    The Britten–Davidson model, [1] [2] also known as the gene-battery model, [3] is a hypothesis for the regulation of protein synthesis in eukaryotes.Proposed by Roy John Britten and Eric H. Davidson in 1969, the model postulates four classes of DNA sequence: an integrator gene, a producer gene, a receptor site, and a sensor site.

    The active gene bank of the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics in Patancheru, India. A gene bank is a type of biorepository that serves to preserve the genetic information of organisms. Gene banks are often used for storing the genetic material of species that are endangered or close to extinction.

  9. Battery energy storage system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_energy_storage_system

    Battery energy storage systems are generally designed to be able to output at their full rated power for several hours. Battery storage can be used for short-term peak power [2] and ancillary services, such as providing operating reserve and frequency control to minimize the chance of power outages. They are often installed at, or close to ...
