Abstract: Various embodiments of a hermetic assembly and a method of forming such assembly are disclosed. The hermetic assembly includes a dielectric substrate having a first major surface and a second major surface, a patterned layer connected to the first major surface of the dielectric substrate by a laser bond, and a ferrule having a body and a flange extending from the body. The flange is welded to a welding portion of the patterned layer that is disposed between the flange and the first major surface of the dielectric substrate such that the ferrule is hermetically sealed to the dielectric substrate.

Abstract: An iron-air battery including an iron electrode in contact with an anode current collector, wherein the iron electrode includes a plurality of channels; an oxygen reduction reaction electrode having a first surface facing the plurality of channels and an opposing second surface in contact with air; an oxygen evolution reaction electrode interdigitated with the plurality of channels of the iron electrode, wherein at least a portion of the oxygen evolution reaction electrode is disposed within the plurality of channels in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the oxygen reduction reaction electrode; and an electrolyte in contact with the iron electrode, the first surface of the oxygen reduction reaction electrode, the plurality of channels, and the oxygen evolution reaction electrode.

Abstract: According to an aspect, an electrochemical cell may include a vessel, at least two instances of an anode assembly, at least two instances of an oxygen evolution electrode (OEE), and a gas diffusion electrode (GDE). In the vessel, the GDE may be disposed between mirrored arrangements of the at least two instances of the OEE and the at least two instances of the anode assembly.

Abstract: Described herein are methyl 3-((methylsulfonyl)amino)-2-(((4-phenylcyclohexyl)oxy)methyl)-piperidine-1-carboxylate (Compound (I)), compositions comprising Compound (I), and the use of Compound (I) for the treatment of excessive sleepiness in a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: A trash container carrier is convertible from a wheeled transporting to a ground supported structure. The carrier includes a wheel assemblage retractable within openings in the floor adjacent to the corners of the structure. A pair of upright members installed at opposite ends of the floor support a longitudinally extending arm. The arm rotatably connected to one member and freely supported by the other has a trash container lid secured to the underneath side. The lid is arranged to uncover a floor supported trash container when the arm is raised to load or unload the container.
