  • Patent number: 10340508
    Abstract: The invention demonstrates that only 2% functional conductive polymer binder without any conductive additives was successfully used with a micron-size silicon monoxide (SiO) anode material, demonstrating stable and high gravimetric capacity (>1000 mAh/g) for ˜500 cycles and more than 90% capacity retention. Prelithiation of this anode using stabilized lithium metal powder (SLMP®) improves the first cycle Coulombic efficiency of a SiO/NMC full cell from ˜48% to ˜90%. This combination enables good capacity retention of more than 80% after 100 cycles at C/3 in a lithium-ion full cell. We also demonstrate the important connection between porosity and the loading of silicon electrodes. By employing a highly porous silicon electrode, a high areal capacity (3.3 mAh/cm2) is obtained. This method works well to achieve high loading of other high-capacity alloy anodes, the state-of-art graphite anode, as well as a high loading of positive electrodes for LIBs.

  • Patent number: 9971114
    Abstract: A thread for tying a group of fibers in a fiber optic cable having an outer jacket to one another to form a fiber bundle. The thread includes a length of a binder thread, and an adhesion material coated on the binder thread so that (a) the binder thread adheres to the group of optical fibers about which the thread is tied to form the fiber bundle, and the binder thread remains adhered to the bundled fibers to restrain movement of the fibers when the outer jacket and cable elements other than the bundled fibers are removed. After the binder thread is tied about a fiber bundle, exposed surfaces of the adhesion material coated on the binder thread are treated so that the thread does not adhere to any cable elements in proximity to the thread, other than the fibers of the bundle about which the thread is tied.

  • Patent number: 9869013
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an article comprises providing an article such as a chamber component for an etch reactor. A plasma spray deposition process is performed for deposit a first protective layer over at least one surface of the chamber component. The first protective layer is a plasma resistant ceramic having a thickness of greater than approximately 50 microns and a plurality of cracks and pores. An ion assisted deposition (IAD) process is then performed to deposit a second protective layer over the first protective layer. The second protective layer is a plasma resistant rare earth oxide having a thickness of less than 50 microns and a porosity of less than 1%. The second protective layer seals the plurality of cracks and pores of the first protective layer.

  • Patent number: 9801385
    Abstract: Antimicrobial chemical compositions comprise an aluminum phosphate (AlP) solid dispersed within a binding polymer, wherein one or more bioactive materials are disposed within AlP forming a bioactive-AlP complex. The complex may comprise the bioactive material chemically bonded with the AlP, physically combined with the AlP, or a combination of both. The complex may be formed according to precipitation, condensation and sol-gel methods of forming. The complex is engineered to provide a controlled delivery of the bioactive material or a constituent thereof upon exposure to moisture to give a desired level of antimicrobial resistance to a film or composite formed from the composition of at least about 30 ?g/m2, and may also provide a desired degree of corrosion resistance through the release of passivating phosphate anion.

  • Patent number: 9695178
    Abstract: The hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway is a pathway which regulates patterning, growth and cell migration during embryonic development, but in adulthood is limited to tissue maintenance and repair. Mutational inactivation of the inhibitory pathway components leads to constitutive ligand-independent activation of the Hh signaling pathway, results in cancers such as basal cell carcinoma and medulloblastoma. Ligand-dependent activation of Hh signaling is involved in prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and some blood cancers. Therefore, inhibition of the aberrant Hh signaling represents a promising approach toward novel anticancer therapy. The present invention provides novel molecules of formula I that inhibit hedgehog pathway signaling and provides therapeutic applications for the treatment of malignancies (basal cell carcinoma, medulloblastoma, glioblastoma, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, blood cancers, mesenchymal cancers, etc.

  • Patent number: 9587120
    Abstract: Titanium dioxide is used as an emissivity enhancer in high emissivity coating compositions. The titanium dioxide increases the emissivity of the high emissivity coating compositions. In certain embodiments, titanium dioxide is recovered from industrial waste sources such as catalyst containing waste streams from olefin polymerization processes or re-based sources. Titanium dioxide emissivity enhancers recovered from industrial waste solution sources contribute favorably to the cost of manufacturing high emissivity coating compositions containing such enhancers.
