20110319975 | Methods for Reducing Discomfort During Electrostimulation, and Compositions and Apparatus Therefor - An electrode assembly for neuro-cranial stimulation includes an electrode, a conductive gel, and an adapter including an interior compartment for positioning the electrode relative to the adapter and for receiving and retaining the conductive gel. The conductive gel contacts the electrode along an electrode-gel interface. An orifice at one end of the interior compartment and adjacent to a positioning surface of the adapter for positioning the electrode assembly against a skin surface of a user enables the conductive gel is able to contact the skin surface of the user to define a gel-skin interface, such that a minimum distance between the electrode-gel interface and the gel-skin interface is maintained between 0.25 cm and 1.3 cm. An electrode assembly mounting apparatus is provided for adjustably positioning a plurality of electrode assemblies against target positions on the cranium. | 12-29-2011 |

20130224473 | PREVENTION OF HYDROPHOBIC DEWETTING THROUGH NANOPARTICLE SURFACE TREATMENT - Disclosed in this specification is a method for coating a substrate to prevent dewetting. A suspension of nanoparticles is deposited onto the substrate to produce a nanoparticle layer. The nanoparticle layer is then coated with a monomer. The monomer polymerizes on the nanoparticle layer to produce a polymeric layer. | 08-29-2013 |
20140295244 | PRINTED FLEXIBLE BATTERY - A printed flexible battery is provided. The battery has an anode and a cathode printed on flexible, fibrous substrates. Current collectors are provided that form the anode/cathode connections when the assembly is folded. A hydrophobic polymer is printed in a pattern that contains the electrolyte to a predetermined region. | 10-02-2014 |
20150030891 | Alkaline Battery Operational Methodology - Methods of using specific operational charge and discharge parameters to extend the life of alkaline batteries are disclosed. The methods can be used with any commercial primary or secondary alkaline battery, as well as with newer alkaline battery designs, including batteries with flowing electrolyte. The methods include cycling batteries within a narrow operating voltage window, with minimum and maximum cut-off voltages that are set based on battery characteristics and environmental conditions. The narrow voltage window decreases available capacity but allows the batteries to be cycled for hundreds or thousands of times. | 01-29-2015 |
