Abstract: A method of forming a non-porous, hydrophilic polymer film separator for an electrochemical cell includes the steps of applying a flowable coating composition to the substrate, and converting the flowable coating composition applied to the substrate into the nonporous, hydrophilic polymer film separator. The resulting thin separators can be used for producing electrochemical cells which can provide a large increase in high rate discharge performance, cell capacity, or a combination of both as compared with a conventional cell of the same size.

Abstract: A free-standing handgun display stand, having one or more rectangular shaped sections for positioning handguns, with a trapezoidal shaped trigger guard receiving slot, or slots, one for each handgun positioning section, sized to maintain said handgun in an in-use position, with said handgun angled slightly. The display has rectangular support sections, adjacent to, and running perpendicular to, each handgun positioning section, and rectangular unit expansion slots at each end of the display, each slot being equal in width to the thickness of the display stand manufacturing material, one slot extending from the top, halfway to the bottom of the display stand, the other unit expansion slot extending from the bottom, halfway to the top of the display, in a manner that one of the expansion slots will mate with a unit expansion slot from another handgun display of the same, creating a continual display as desired.
