  • Patent number: 9943715
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cellular telephone recharging device which operates as a support bed for a cellular telephone during the recharging stage. The device includes a first pocket for retaining a fire extinguishing packet of super absorbent polymer capable of extinguishing a lithium battery fire. A second pocket is formed within the device for positioning of the cellular telephone over the fire extinguishing packet. Use of the device reduces or eliminates thermal meltdowns by positioning the fire suppressant directly adjacent to the most likely area for the thermal meltdown.

  • Publication number: 20090271701
    Abstract: A process for identifying technology-based solutions in the context of technical component development includes identifying technical components for particular technical systems, as well as the corresponding technological functions associated with the identified technical components. In one embodiment, development obstacles associated with technical component development may be identified. A set of potential solutions corresponding to the identified obstacles may then be generated using prior project information and/or the information accessed from one or more technology databases.
