Abstract: The photobiomodulation apparatus (and method of use) of the present invention comprises one or more light sources which are integrated into a transparent flexible mouthpiece housing containing a semi rigid support member for providing photobiomodulation therapy to the oral mucosa of a cancer patient suffering from, or at risk of, Oral Mucositis. The light sources can be either internal, or external to the transparent flexible mouthpiece housing, and either lasers, light emitting diodes (LEDs), lamps, or any other types of light sources which produce therapeutic light in a desired wavelength range. The therapeutic light is delivered through the transparent flexible mouthpiece housing to the oral mucosa. The delivered light produces a photochemical and photophysical process e.g. increase the blood flow and circulation. This photochemical and photophysical process helps to reduce the incidence and severity of oral mucositis in cancer patients and helps improve outcomes of cancer therapy.

Abstract: A quasi-solid-state battery formed from non-gas evolving in-situ curing of a quasi-solid-state electrolyte that includes a high swelling polymer made from a monomer with good compatibility with liquid electrolytes, and has a good reactivity for facile non-gas evolving in-situ polymerization. The monomer can be based on acrylate polymerization chemistry or an allyl group polymerization chemistry. Non-gas evolving initiators are used for non-gas evolving in-situ polymerization of acrylate or allyl monomer-based QSE. The resulting QSE additionally has high ionic conductivity, allowing for a high battery output, and a wide electrochemical window (stable for lithium metal anode and high-voltage cathodes). The resulting quasi solid electrolyte battery is not only easy to fabricate using conventional battery manufacturing practices, the non-gas evolving in-situ polymerization causes the QSE to be uniformly distributed within the battery, ensuring high-quality, safe battery performance and longevity.
