Abstract:

Making a composite solid polymer electrolyte includes mixing a slurry of lithiated ionomer and a doped inorganic ceramic electrolyte and coating the slurry onto a lithiated ionomer membrane. The lithiated ionomer can be provided by exchanging protons of an ionomer membrane with lithium ions to form a lithiated ionomer membrane and dissolving the lithiated ionomer membrane to produce the lithiated ionomer. Various composite solid polymer electrolytes can be made for use in solid-state lithium-ion batteries. Ways of making a dispersion for use in a solid-state electrolyte include lithiating an ionomer by heating and dissoluting to form the dispersion. An ionic liquid and ceramic particles can be added to the dispersion. Ways of making a reinforced solid-state electrolyte for a solid-state lithium-ion battery include infusing a porous membrane with the dispersion.

A61H 39/00

Abstract:

A system for decreasing symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea of a female person/patient. Such system includes an electrical assembly configured for attachment at an acupoint BL57 on each posterior calf skin of the patient proximately mid-length between the ankle and knee region of the patient. Each electrical assembly includes a heating element, a temperature sensor, a heat radiator for dissipating heat generated by the heating element, and an energy source. A pulse generating controller including a computer having logic circuitry powered by the energy source and carried by and arranged in electrical communication with the electrical assembly. The controller operates each heating element through a set or series of immediately consecutive heating and cooling cycles. Each heating and cooling cycle initially involves operating the heating element to warm the person's/patient's skin underlying the heating element as measured by the temperature sensor for a period of 10 to 30 seconds and to a temperature ranging between about 122 F. to about 126 F. Immediately thereafter, the heat exchanger applies a cooling effect to the heating element whereby cooling the heating element as measured by the temperature sensor for a time period of 10 to 60 seconds. A method for decreasing symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea of a female person/patient is also disclosed.

Abstract:

Reprocessable crosslinked polyurethane networks, methods for making the reprocessable polyurethane networks, and methods for depolymerizing the crosslinked polyurethane networks and recovering the depolymerized monomers are provided. The polyurethane networks are rendered reprocessable by the incorporation of free hydroxyl groups and the incorporation of multi-functional alcohol crosslinkers.
