  • COLLECTION AND USES OF TISSUE RESIDENT INTERSTITIAL EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES
    Publication number: 20240156931
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-destructive method comprising placing a tissue sample on a porous matrix, centrifuging the tissue sample under a negative pressure, applying a vacuum on the tissue sample, and collecting extracted extracellular vesicles from the tissue sample. The method does not cause physical rupturing of the tissue sample and maintains integrity of the tissue sample for further histopathological analysis. Moreover, the invention also provides a method of inducing an immune response of a host by immune sensitization using harvested extracellular vesicles.

  • Photo triggered covalent organic frameworks and methods of using
    Patent number: 11952271
    Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods for the storage and release of hydrogen gas using covalent organic frameworks (COFs). Advantageously, the compositions and methods described herein may be used for the facile and rapid release of hydrogen gas at near ambient temperatures. The described COFs allow for photoactivation, where the release of gas is initiated or the rate of release is increased with the COF is exposed to electromagnetic radiation, for example, UV light.

  • Two phase exothermic cooling
    Patent number: 11791510
    Abstract: A method of cooling a battery cell includes: atomizing a cooling fluid by driving it through a micro-nozzle at a pressure sufficient to create a jet of aerosolized liquid droplets while retaining sufficient momentum in flow of the fluid to travel from the nozzle to an outer surface of the battery cell; impinging the spray of the jet of aerosolized liquid droplets on an outer surface of the battery cell; partially evaporating the liquid droplets on the outer surface to conduct heat from the outer surface; and convecting heat from the outer surface of the battery via the cooling fluid.
