  • Patent number: 10219918
    Abstract: A prosthetic device including an internal frame assembled from multiple longitudinal members and multiple transverse members, wherein each member is substantially planar and defines peripheral slots, and wherein the longitudinal members and transverse members are arranged to mate with one another to join the longitudinal members with the transverse members. In certain embodiments, a first group of longitudinal members is radially arranged relative to a central axis extending through the transverse members, and a second group of longitudinal members is tangentially arranged relative to the central axis, preferably with lateral edges of the second group of longitudinal members extending between two different longitudinal members of the first group of longitudinal members to provide enhanced torsional rigidity. An outer shaping member, which may be tubular in shape, may be arranged to cover at least a portion of the internal frame.

  • Patent number: 10128488
    Abstract: An anode for a rechargeable battery includes a Type II clathrate having the formula MxX136, where a cage structure is formed by X, M represents one or more guest ions, and 0<x<24. When x=0, no guest ion is present in the cage structure. X may be Si, Ge, Sn, or a combination thereof. M may be an ion of Na, K, Rb, Cs, Ba, Sr, Ca, Cl, Br, I, Eu, P, Te, Li, Mg, or a combination thereof. A rechargeable battery including the anode (e.g., as an anode) includes a cathode and an electrolyte in contact with the anode and the cathode. Forming the anode may include preparing a composition including the Type II clathrate contacting the composition with a current collector to form the anode. Guest ions may be electrochemically inserted and removed from the cage structure during operation of the rechargeable battery.
