Abstract: Solid-state lithium-ion cells described herein can operate at pressures. In some embodiments, the solid-state lithium-ion cells undergo little or no volume change during cycling. A conditioning process that that significantly improves the performance of a cell at reduced pressures can involve cycling the cell at high pressure.

Abstract: Provided herein are multilayer solid-state lithium ion batteries and methods of fabrication. In some embodiments, units of preformed cell elements and a current collector (of either the anode or cathode) are stacked. The preformed cell element includes a double-sided electrode, with separator/electrode on both sides of the double-sided electrode. The double-sided electrode may be an anode or a cathode. During the stacking process, the preformed cell elements are laminated to a cathode current collector or an anode current collector, as appropriate.

Abstract: A combination headboard and stowable tray characterized as having a vertically extending front surface and vertically extending back surface being spaced apart from one another to create a tray stowing compartment. A tray is pivotally appended to the bed headboard oriented substantially in a vertical orientation when stowed within the headboard and between the vertically extending front and back surfaces. The tray is rotatable about a first pivot to extend the tray outwardly from between the vertically extending front and back members while maintaining its vertical orientation. A second is pivot is provided for rotating the tray to a substantially horizontal orientation for its deployment as a tabletop.
