Publication number: 20230211029Abstract: The use of plasma to clean or sterilize items can be particularly advantageous for items that cannot be readily washed or cleaned by standard methods. The toxicity and complications generating sufficient plasma makes it hard to use for such purposes. The subject invention addresses the problem by generating a minimal amount of highly reactive plasma to sterilize an item. This is achieved by reducing the amount of space and ambient air around and within the item. In this way, the plasma generated fills only the required volume of the item to be cleaned and the plasm is directed at the object, not directed at or released into non-target areas.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventors: JULIUS REGALADO, XIN ZHOU, KENNETH CHERISOL, MILES CLARK

Publication number: 20150236389Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods for a hybrid electrochemical cell which utilizes two different chemistries in the same cell. According to one aspect, the hybrid cell includes a first pair of electrode units which form a first electrochemical cell and a second pair of electrode units, which form a second electrochemical cell. The second electrochemical cell utilizes a different chemistry than the first electrochemical cells, but both chemistries share a common electrolyte. The hybrid cell further comprises a common electrolyte layer provided between each pair of electrodes. In certain implementations, the common electrolyte layer is a single cavity such that the electrolyte is shared between both the first and the second electrochemical cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2015Publication date: August 20, 2015Inventors: Jon K.

Publication number: 20140370374Abstract: A stacked energy storage device (ESD) has at least two cell segments arranged in a stack. Each cell segment may have a first electrode unit having a first active material electrode, a second electrode unit having a second active material electrode, and an electrolyte layer between the active material electrodes. Variable volume containment may be used to control the inter-electrode spacing within each cell segment. In some embodiments, one or more dynamic flexible gaskets may be included in each cell segment to seal the electrolyte within the cell segment and to deform in preferred directions. In some embodiments, hard stops may set the inter-electrode spacing of the ESD.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 4, 2014Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventors: Jon K.

Patent number: 8632901Abstract: A stacked battery has at least two cell segments arranged in a stack. Each cell segment may have a first electrode unit having a first active material electrode, a second electrode unit having a second active material electrode, and an electrolyte layer between the active material electrodes. One or more gaskets may be included in each cell segment to seal the electrolyte within the cell segment. The electrode units may be “dish shaped” and may contain a pressure equalization valve to reduce electrode unit deflection and improve pressure equalization between cell segments. The pressure equalization valve may allow a gas to diffuse through adjacent cell segments and may substantially prevent electrolyte from diffusing through.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2008Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: G4 Synergetics, Inc.Inventors: Jon Kenneth West, Martin Patrick Higgins, Julius Regalado, Anthony George
