Abstract: An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a vehicle at a charging location, an electric grid intensity at a time period; responsive to the intensity being below a threshold, charging a battery of the vehicle; and responsive to the intensity being above the threshold, ceasing the charging of the battery; wherein the charging and the ceasing of the charging achieve a set state of charge of the battery by a set time.

Abstract: Provided are are conformable conductors and electrode arrays and related methods of their manufacture and use. The disclosed structures can be implanted into or placed outside of the body of a subject to record biosignals and/or to deliver electrical stimulation, in addition to other, non-biological applications for electrical and/or chemical sensing and stimulation. One can form a pattern an absorbent material (e.g., with a laser cutter), which is later infused with a conductive ink that can include, e.g., MXene materials, reduced graphene oxide (rGO), graphene/graphite, gold, platinum, or other metallic nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, conductive polymers, or other conductive ink materials. The resulting electrode arrays can be compatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI or fMRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) modalities, and the disclosed process can rapidly produce electrodes at high yield.

Abstract: An electrode, the electrode including an exposed contact surface, the exposed surface comprising a contact material, the contact material comprising a MXene. A device, the device including a plurality of electrodes, each of the plurality of electrodes comprising an exposed contact surface, the exposed surface comprising a contact material, the contact material comprising a MXene. A method, the method including delivering electrical stimulation to a subject with an electrode that comprises an exposed contact surface, the exposed contact surface comprising a contact material that includes a MXene.

Abstract: A limited slip differential assembly comprises a friction clutch assembly and a clutch actuator assembly including an actuator motor, a clutch actuator, and a gear module for drivingly coupling the actuator motor to the clutch actuator. The gear module includes a casing having a first mounting flange for fixing the casing to a differential housing and a second mounting flange for fixing the casing to the actuator motor, two gear support arms outwardly extending from the first mounting flange into the differential housing through an opening therein, a gear shaft supported by the gear support arms, and a pair of coaxial reduction gear members drivingly coupled to the gear shaft. One of the reduction gear members is drivingly coupled to the actuator motor and the other of the reduction gear members is drivingly coupled with the clutch actuator.
