Abstract: A physical lock interface system facilitates secure and remote control of assignment and enablement of physical lock systems. The system receives a request to enable a user to disable a physical lock during a particular range of time. The lock is associated with a geofence boundary defined by a geofence. During the range of time, the system monitors for a presence of the user within the geofence. In response to determining that the user is within the geofence during the range of time, the system transmits a communication to an application of a client device of the user. The application is configured to interact electronically with the physical lock and to cause the client device to display information identifying the physical lock based on the communication. The system detects an electronic signal initiated by the application while the user is within the geofence and disables the physical lock.

Abstract: A pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane from which the surface ion exchange polyelectrolyte has been removed and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane exhibits low film resistance and low in-plane-direction swelling degree, and has a smaller film-thickness than a commercial film, and thus, can be used for various purposes. In addition, since the pore-filled ion exchange polyelectrolyte composite membrane is continuously manufactured through a roll-to-roll process, the manufacturing process is simple, and manufacturing costs can be greatly reduced.

The micropore-filled amphoteric membrane for low vanadium ion permeability minimizes crossover of vanadium ions, which occurs between a catholyte and an anolyte in a redox flow battery, and has low membrane resistance and thus has remarkably improved performance as compared to commercially available ion-exchange membranes such as Nafion, and accordingly, can be effectively used in the manufacture of a redox flow battery. In addition, the micropore-filled amphoteric membrane is continuously manufactured through a roll-to-roll process, and thus the manufacturing process is simple and manufacturing costs can be greatly reduced.
