Abstract: A method for providing a cooling system is described. The method includes providing a plurality of sheets. Each sheet includes at least one structure for a level in each cooling cell of a plurality of cooling cells. A particular level of each cooling cell includes a cooling element having a first side and a second side. The cooling element is configured to undergo vibrational motion to drive fluid from the first side to the second side. The method also includes aligning the sheets, attaching the sheets to form a laminate that includes the cooling cells, and separating the laminate into sections. Each section includes at least one cooling cell.

Abstract: A method for providing a piezoelectric device is described. The method includes providing a first electrode layer on a substrate and coating at least one layer of piezoelectric material. The coating using at least one of slot-die coating, dip coating, aerosol coating and R2R coating such that a layer of the at least one layer of piezoelectric material has a variation in thickness of not more than ten percent. The layer(s) of piezoelectric materials are also heat treated. Multiple layers of piezoelectric material may be slot-die coated and heat treated to provide a multilayer having the desired thickness. A second electrode layer is provided on the layer(s) of piezoelectric material.

Abstract: Calcium peroxyphosphate compounds and dental compositions comprising these compounds that combine both whitening/stain removal of teeth with remineralization are disclosed. The calcium peroxyphosphate compounds are capable of releasing, in an aqueous environment, whitening and remineralization effective amounts of calcium ion, phosphate ion, and active oxygen. Preferred compounds are calcium peroxymonophosphate or calcium diperoxymonophosphate compounds. These compounds may be used in humans and other animals, including other mammals.

Abstract: Kits and methods that combine whitening/stain removal of teeth with remineralization are disclosed. These kits advantageously comprise separate compositions comprising a soluble calcium salt, a soluble orthophosphate salt, and a soluble peroxide, in order to optimize the stability of these components for storage and/or the activity of these components upon use. The active ingredients may also be separated in a solid composition (e.g., a powder) or in a stable dispersion comprising a non-aqueous dispersion medium.
