  • Patent number: 8636889
    Abstract: A solid electrolyte producing system includes a supercapacitor desalination device comprising a power supply and a supercapacitor desalination unit. The supercapacitor desalination unit includes a pair of electrodes electrically coupled to the power supply and operable in a charging mode of operation and a discharging mode of operation. A feeding source is configured to provide a feed liquid to the supercapacitor desalination unit when the supercapacitor desalination unit is in the charging mode of operation. The feed liquid comprises at least one determined electrolyte. A crystallization device is providing for receiving a concentrated liquid from the supercapacitor desalination device in the discharging mode of operation, the concentrated liquid being a saturated liquid or supersaturated liquid of the at least one determined type of electrolyte. The at least one determined type of electrolyte precipitates in the crystallization device as solid electrolyte.

  • Publication number: 20030134106
    Abstract: Synthetic polyolefin films of one or more layers, wherein each layer may be of a different thickness and a different formulation. The films consist of a polyolefin resin and a suitable mineral filler of at least three microns in particle size. The films are particularly useful as a masking material in paint overspray protection systems and may be used to protect a finished surface from moisture and/or ultraviolet radiation. The films posses the advantage that their use does not result in staining or ghosting on the protected or masked surface.
