    DRY-CELL PATENT
    November 15, 1887 - U.S.A.

    German scientist, Dr. Carl Gassner, was issued a U.S. patent (No. 373,064), the first in the U.S. for a "dry" cell. Gassner had already patented his invention in Germany (No. 37,758) on 8 Apr 1886, and also in Austria, Belgium, England, France and Hungary in the same year. The sealed zinc shell which contained all the chemicals was also the negative electrode. Later, he improved the shelf life of the battery by adding zinc chloride to the electrolyte to reduce corrosion of the zinc shell. Gassner's battery was much like the carbon-zinc, general-purpose batteries sold today. By 1896, the National Carbide Company (later Union Carbide and Eveready) produced the first consumer dry cell battery. Two years later, the company made the first D cell.

    ALKALINE DRY-CELL PATENT
    November 15, 1960 - U.S.A.

    A U.S. patent was issued for an alkaline dry-cell to P.A. Marsal, Karl Kordesch and Lewis F. Urry who assigned it to the Union Carbide Corporation, the manufacturer of Eveready batteries (No. 2,960,558). Compared to the existing carbon-zinc dry-cells, it offered an appreciable increase in life-span and efficiency during heavy continuous drains. Its construction used an alkaline electrolyte, manganese dioxide as depolarizer, a zinc powder-gel anode, and certain additives such including mercury and electrolyte-creep inhibitors. The patent gave practical details for commercial production. The patent claimed that whereas four cells in series of the carbon-zinc type gave 4.5 volts to power a 1.25-amp bulb for 45-min to 1-hr, the new alkaline design gave good brilliance after 6 to 7 hours.

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

Directory submission is a technique that makes use of different web directories for submitting your web site. By making these submission you can always effectively increase the ranking of your website. In case the directory is already receiving too much of web traffic then there are complete changes that all that traffic can be directed towards your website. You can always make use of manual directory submission service and automated directory submission services for submitting your website to these directories. Both of these methods are in fact having their own set of advantages and disadvantages but the choice is always yours.

Most webmasters always prefer making use of manual submissions as this is generally considered very much effective. When doing manually you may have to visit each of the web directories individually and then do the submissions.

The approval percentage in case of manual submission is also very much high as you can always select the right category to do your submission.

There are a number of web directories that only allow manual web directory submission as they certainly are very much reluctant to the automated type of services. So the moment they detect any automated directory submission service they simply disapprove all the details related to that URL from their directory database. So after your URL is eliminated then you may never be able to do your submissions next time. When you choose to submit to web directories manually then you certainly have a choice where you can make your selection of directories for submission. Since thousands of web directories are available so if you choose to submit in each one of them, then the process can be time consuming.

One of the best alternatives is to try and outsource the job to a professional SEO company so you can save your time and money. Even before selecting any such company it is important that you read a few reviews related to them online so you are sure that you have selected one of the best companies for completing the job effectively. The general rule when doing directory submission is to try and submit to a few directories in a single day so you can get the desired results. In case you are looking for much better results then selecting a delayed submission service is also one good option. Such manual directory submission services complete the job in different steps over a period of time to make the submission more effective. So there are chances that they might even choose to complete nearly 1000 submissions in a period of one month. They certainly might also make use of separate titles for each submission to get better results.
