Abstract: Alkali metal secondary batteries that include anodes constructed from alkali metal foil applied to only one side of a porous current collector metal foil. Openings in the porous current collectors permit alkali metal accessibility on both sides of the anode structure. Such anode constructions enable the utilization of lower-cost and more commonly available alkali metal foil thickness, while still achieving high cell cycle life at a significantly reduced cost. Aspects of the present disclosure also include batteries with porous current collectors having increased volumetric and gravimetric energy densities, and methods of manufacturing anodes with porous current collectors.

Abstract: In various formats and various technologies across the health care systems/locations, there is a huge need to integrate and make it easier for the user to apply all these technologies across the board, without the need to become an IT/software expert or hire one in-house, which is very expensive and duplicative effort for other similar organizations in the health care industry to do the same exact function. This document describes a software system that allows our system (ViTelNet) to design, configure, deploy, and run sophisticated custom applications across a variety of hardware platforms, without writing any code. In one example, we describe a method/system for the telehealth platform. In one example, we describe the development tools for such a platform. Many variations and examples are also presented.

Abstract: Separators, for use in electrochemical devices, that each include a porous body and at least one ionic-flow-control layer that includes at least one copolymer blend tuned to melt at a design temperature so that, when melted, the copolymer blend block the flow of ions of an electrolyte through the porous separator. In some embodiments, each copolymer blend is applied to the porous body in particulate form. In some embodiments, two or more copolymer blends of differing design melting temperatures are provided to the ionic-flow-control layer. In embodiments having multiple differing copolymer blends of differing melting temperatures, the copolymer blends may be provided in the ionic-flow-control layer in discrete regions or as a mixture of un-melted particles. An ionic-flow-control layer may be provided separately from or integrally with a porous separator body. Electrochemical devices including ionic-flow-control layers are also disclosed.
