  • Patent number: 12378274
    Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a method for producing a metal-organic framework (MOF) having a desired redox conductivity and including redox-active linkers, having ?-alkyl-ferrocene groups, via de novo solvothermal synthesis. Various embodiments relate to a metal-organic framework (MOF) linker comprising an ?-alkyl-ferrocene group. Various embodiments relate to a metal-organic framework (MOF), having a first plurality of redox-active linkers, each having an ?-alkyl-ferrocene group. The MOF according to various embodiments, may further have one or more redox-inactive linkers. Various embodiments relate to materials, apparatuses, and components that include the MOF according to various embodiments. For example, various embodiments relate to thin-films, bulk powders, or electrodes.

  • Patent number: 7315235
    Abstract: A laser-based first warning system for vehicles is principally intended to be used when a vehicle is moving or about to move and can't be seen by oncoming drivers or pedestrians. The first warning system provides lasers on both sides, the front and back of the vehicle to paint a square or other shape on the ground several feet from the hidden vehicle giving warning to anyone that a hidden vehicle is pulling out, or otherwise about to move.
