Abstract: The invention relates to polyelectrolyte multilayer coatings and, methods for their preparation and application to substrates to enhance the bioactivity and corrosion protection of the substrates' surface. The invention is particularly suitable for coating substrates employed for medical applications, such as but not limited to medical implant devices for drug and/or biologics delivery in a patient. The substrate has a positive or negative charge. The polyelectrolyte multilayer coatings include at least a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer. The first polymer and second polymer have opposite charges. Each of the polymer layers is individually applied using a layer-by-layer such that an alternating charge multilayer coating is formed.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a first battery and a second battery arranged in the housing, a power management module, a first temperature sensor, a second temperature sensor, a first current limiting integrated circuit (IC) configured to limit a maximum intensity of a first current flowing into the first battery, a second current limiting IC configured to limit a maximum intensity of a second current flowing into the second battery, and a processor. The processor may determine whether the first temperature or the second temperature is outside a specified temperature range and, when the first temperature is outside of the specified temperature range, control the first current limiting IC to reduce a magnitude of the first current.

Abstract: Provided is a cathode material for a rechargeable magnesium battery, represented by the chemical formula of Ag2SxSe1-x (0?x?1), a highly stable cathode material and a rechargeable magnesium battery including the same. The cathode material for a rechargeable magnesium battery has a higher discharge capacity and higher discharge voltage as compared to a typical commercially available cathode material, Chevrel phase, and shows excellent stability in an electrolyte for a rechargeable magnesium battery including chloride ions. In addition, after evaluating the cycle life of the cathode material, the cathode material shows an excellent discharge capacity per unit weight after 500 charge/discharge cycles, and thus is useful for a cathode material for a rechargeable magnesium battery.
