Abstract: A hermetic seal for electrochemical cells. The seal is formed between first and second electronically conductive barrier members. The seal is formed by a cold weld between the first and second barrier members. At least one of the first barrier member and the second barrier member are configured to function as current collectors.

Abstract: A current collector for use in an electrochemical cell is provided. The current collector comprises: a reticulated core comprising a polymer and having continuous porosity; a first reticulated surface; a second reticulated surface opposite said first reticulated surface; and a thin metal film disposed on at least one of said first and second reticulated surfaces, wherein said current collector has continuous porosity. A high temperature resistant polymer is preferred for the reticulated core where the current collector may be exposed to high temperatures during production or use. The continuous porosity of the reticulated core 12 and the current collector allows for passage of electrolyte and ions, as necessary for operation of an electrochemical device that includes the current collector.

Abstract: The described invention relates to the use of parylene and composites of parylene as a flexible, sealable, and near hermetic barrier packaging material for nonaqueous electrochemical cells. Additionally, the invention relates to the technique of sealing of battery packaging material through the use of ultrasonic energy, and to the use of a low melting temperature inorganic barrier, which is predisposed between higher melting temperature polymer layers, that can be sealed to form a truly hermetic barrier at the interface.

Abstract: Toll Like Receptor 3 (TLR3) antibody antagonists, polynucleotides encoding TLR3 antibody antagonists or fragments thereof, and methods of making and using the foregoing are disclosed.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a plurality of electronic devices participating in a data collaboration session are detected. A group, of a plurality of groups, is determined to which each of the plurality of electronic devices is associated. At least some of the groups correspond to companies. Based on the determined group to which each of the plurality of electronic devices is associated, one or more limitations are identified that restrict the recording of data shared during the data collaboration session. The identified one or more limitations are enforced on only some of the plurality of electronic devices participating in the data collaboration session, such that electronic devices associated with a group that corresponds to the first company are allowed to record the data collaboration session, yet an electronic device associated with a group that corresponds to a second company is prevented from recording the data collaboration session.
