Abstract: An immobilized selenium body, made from carbon and selenium and optionally sulfur, makes selenium more stable, requiring a higher temperature or an increase in kinetic energy for selenium to escape from the immobilized selenium body and enter a gas system, as compared to selenium alone. Immobilized selenium localized in a carbon skeleton can be utilized in a rechargeable battery. Immobilization of the selenium can impart compression stress on both the carbon skeleton and the selenium. Such compression stress enhances the electrical conductivity in the carbon skeleton and among the selenium particles and creates an interface for electrons to be delivered and or harvested in use of the battery. A rechargeable battery made from immobilized selenium can be charged or discharged at a faster rate over conventional batteries and can demonstrate excellent cycling stability.

Abstract: A bendable transferring bed has a bed frame, multiple bed-panel units, and at least one coupling. Each two adjacent ones of the bed-panel units are pivotally connected to each other. Each bed-panel units has a moveable bed-panel and a transmission shaft. The moveable bed-panel is moved relative to the mounting frame through the rotating of the transmission shaft. The two transmission shafts of each two adjacent ones of the bed-panel units are connected by one of the couplings, and thus the moveable bed-panels of all the bed-panel units can be moved together. The moveable bed-panels of the bed-panel units are bendable relative to each other to keep the patient in a sitting position or other positions. The moveable bed-panels can be moved when the moveable bed-panels are bent relative to each other by the coupling, such that the patient can be moved when in the sitting position.
