  • Patent number: 11586089
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward an electrodeposition-based dynamic glass element comprising an electrolyte that includes an aqueous solvent and an additive, wherein the electrolyte is stable over a temperature range that is greater than the stable temperature range of the aqueous solvent alone. In some embodiments, the freezing point of the electrolyte is lowered by its inclusion of the additive. Additives suitable for use in accordance with the present disclosure include alcohols, metal salts, sugars, cryoprotectants, and the like. In some cases, the freezing point of the aqueous-solvent-based electrolyte is lowered from 0° C. to ?40° C. by virtue of the inclusion of the additive. In some cases, the maximum stable temperature of the electrolyte is increased from 100° C. to 110° C. by virtue of the inclusion of the additive.

  • Publication number: 20220281902
    Abstract: Compounds, compositions and methods are provided for mitochondrial modulation. The subject mitochondrial modulator compounds generally include a head group linked to a charged moiety. In certain cases, the head group is a heterocyclic or a heteroaryl group. Aspects of the subject methods include a method of modulating mitochondria. Aspects of the subject methods include treating a subject having a metabolic syndrome-related disease or a symptom thereof by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a subject compound. In certain cases, the disease is selected from hyperlipidemia, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, obesity, cardiovascular disease and stroke. In certain cases, the symptom is selected from abdominal obesity, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, high levels of blood fats, increased blood pressure, and elevated serum lipids.

  • Patent number: 11292029
    Abstract: The present disclosure enables high contrast, fast, uniform, and color-neutral dynamic-glass elements based on uniform and reversible electrodeposition of metals a surface of the element. Elements in accordance with the present disclosure include a surface-modified transparent-conductor-based window electrode, wherein the surface modification of the window electrode includes a nucleation layer that is anchored to the transparent conductor via a non-metallic adhesion layer. In some embodiments, a plurality of traces is disposed on and electrically connected to the window electrode to reduce the voltage drop across the total area of the element, where the traces have a core made of a low-resistivity material.
