Abstract: Disclosed herein is a solid-state battery comprising an anode, cathode, and solid electrolyte disposed between and in conductive contact with the anode and the cathode. The solid electrolyte comprises the compound NaxLi3-xYCl6 (0<x<3), which can have a trigonal ordered crystal structure. The solid-state battery can be configured as a lithium-ion battery or as a sodium-ion battery.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a battery and a battery management system. The battery management system is configured to derive a predicted battery demand based on observed usage patterns to predictively charge the battery to healthily accommodate the predicted battery demand. The battery management system is further configured to determine a predicted deviating battery demand based on a contextual signal. The predicted deviating battery demand differing from the predicted battery demand. The battery management system is further configured to predictively charge the battery to healthily accommodate the predicted deviating battery demand.

Abstract: Adhesive devices for use with components of various systems, in particular electrical or thermally sensitive systems. The adhesive device includes a light-sensitive adhesive disposed adjacent to a light-transmissive material. The de-bonding process includes irradiating the light-transmissive material, thereby exposing any adjacent adhesive to the light as well. Because the adhesive material can include a bonding material that is configured to de-bond when exposed to the light, the disassembly of devices without risk to neighboring components is simplified.
