  • Publication number: 20090268376
    Abstract: An electrolyte for use in a capacitor. The electrolyte comprising a solvent; a salt comprising a first anion and a first cation; and an additive. The additive is provided in a sufficient quantity to modify a voltage differential across an electric double layer associated with at least one electrode of said capacitor such that said voltage differential is closer to a predetermined voltage breakdown limit for the electrolyte and said at least one electrode than a voltage differential across an electric double layer associated with said at least one electrode and a further electrolyte comprising said solvent and said salt but no additive. A capacitor comprising first and second electrodes and the aforementioned electrolyte. Methods for optimising an electrolyte for use in a capacitor and manufacturing optimised capacitor systems are also presented.

  • Publication number: 20060266227
    Abstract: Some embodiments of a cooking device may be configured to support a food product (e.g., a poultry item) in an elevated position above a cooking surface (e.g., the bottom of a roasting pan) such that a breast portion of the poultry item faces substantially downward. In such embodiments, the poultry item may be roasted while the juices serve to moisten the breast portion of the poultry item. Also in such embodiments, the poultry item may be elevated above the cooking surface while being supported by the cooking device from the inside, which can reduce the likelihood of localized burns on the contacted skin of the poultry item.
