Patent number: 11085422Abstract: Yarn energy harvesters containing conducing nanomaterials (such as carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn harvesters) that electrochemically convert tensile or torsional mechanical energy into electrical energy. Stretched coiled yarns can generate 250 W/kg of peak electrical power when cycled up to 24 Hz, and can generate up to 41.2 J/kg of electrical energy per mechanical cycle. Unlike for other harvesters, torsional rotation produces both tensile and torsional energy harvesting and no bias voltage is required, even when electrochemically operating in salt water. Since homochiral and heterochiral coiled harvester yarns provide oppositely directed potential changes when stretched, both contribute to output power in a dual-electrode yarn.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignees: Board of Regents, The University of Texas System, Industry-University Cooperation Foundation Hanyang UniversityInventors: Ray H.

Patent number: PP33345Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Plectranthus scutellarioides (coleus) named ‘UF15-4-43’, selected for its highly desirable combination of traits: bi-colored crimson and chartreuse foliage with superior stability in both sun and shade; large leaves with extremely uniform lance shape across the plant throughout development, and the leaves are larger than most plants of this leaf type; excellent lateral branching, thus providing ample vegetative propagules for producers; and vigorous spreading habit, growing more horizontal than vertical, which allows it to fill space with vibrant color very quickly in summer gardens. This plant has not been observed to produce flowers in any trial to date, thus it is desirable for long-season performance in the landscape. It is uniform through all stages of production and it has long season performance as an annual plant in the landscape until first signs of frost in late Fall.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2021Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Florida Foundation Seed Producers, Inc.Inventor: David G.
