Patent number: 12218352
Abstract: The disclosure provides a plurality of particles. Each particle may include a material comprising 0.95 to 1.30 mole fraction Li, at least 0.60 and less than 1.00 mole fraction Co, up to 10,000 ppm Al, 1.90 to 2.10 mole fraction O, and up to 0.30 mole fraction M, where M is at least one element selected from B, Na, Mg, P, Ti, Ca, V, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Al, Sc, Y, Ga, Zr, Ru, Mo, La, Si, Nb, Ge, In, Sn, Sb, Te, and Ce. Each particle may also include a surface composition comprising a mixture of LiF and a metal fluoride. An amount of fluorine (F) is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 5000 ppm. The metal fluoride comprises a material selected from the group consisting of AlF3, CaF2, MgF2, and LaF2. The surface composition may also include a metal oxide comprising a material selected from the group consisting of TiO2, MgO, La2O3, CaO, and Al2O3. An amount of the metal oxide is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 20000 ppm.

Patent number: 11992227
Abstract: The invention is a system and a device for use in open or minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as a bone implant fixation procedure. The device is configured to perform various functions during a bone implant fixation procedure, including performing at least one of: penetration of a bone to form a hole or opening for receipt of a screw; neuromonitoring, in cooperation with a neuromonitoring device, of the hole during, or post-, formation of the hole so as to sense any nearby nerves adjacent to the hole that may be in the path of a screw, or otherwise affected, when a screw is placed within the hole; neurostimulation, in cooperation with a neuromonitoring device, of nerves adjacent to the hole during, or post-, formation of the hole; and measuring of a depth of the hole and providing a digital measurement of the depth to assist the surgeon in selecting the appropriate length of screw.
