  • Patent number: 9510977
    Abstract: A wound dressing for covering a wound is formed of at least one absorbing member and a plurality of elongated activated carbon fibers. The at least one absorbing member is made of a foamed polymeric material and includes a plurality of pores. The activated carbon fibers are distributed in the at least one absorbing member and partially protrude into the pores. Each of the activated carbon fibers has a diameter of 2-15 ?m and a length of 40-1500 ?m. In light of the above, the tissue fluid leaking from the wound can be absorbed by the absorbing member to prevent the wound from soakage and the activated carbon fibers inside the absorbing member can emit far-infrared rays to promote the blood circulation around the wound for quickening healing of the wound.

  • Publication number: 20160166802
    Abstract: An antibacterial catheter includes a body having a urine passage, and an antibacterial carbon material disposed in the urine passage. The antibacterial carbon material has a BET specific surface area in a range between 500 m2/g and 1800 m2/g, and contains a plurality of pores including micropores that have a diameter less than 2 nm. The antibacterial carbon material has a micropore-to-pore volume ratio ranging from 30% to 50%. Because the antibacterial carbon material is disposed in the urine passage of the catheter, the bacteria outside the human body may not easily enter into the urinary bladder and the bacteria inside the urinary bladder can be destroyed, such that the urinary system can be effectively prevented from the bacterial infection.

  • Patent number: 9318269
    Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging structure of an energy storage device. At least one unit cell of capacitor is stacked and packaged into the energy storage device. The unit cell is a sandwich structure comprising a solid-state polymer electrolyte between two modified carbonaceous electrodes. An assembly of at least one unit cell of capacitor can be packaged by metallic cases to form a coin cell type or screw type of the packaging structure, packaged with a plastic case by compression molding or injection molding, or packaged by a plastic bag or an aluminum-foil bag and sealed by heat sealing or vacuum heat sealing. Manufacture processes for traditional capacitor modules, such as drilling, welding, screwing, and making scaffolds, are not required. Although the packaging process is simpler and less expensive, the packaged energy storage device can perform better than traditional capacitor modules.

  • Publication number: 20150366718
    Abstract: A three dimensional wound dressing includes a foam body having a planar bottom surface and a convex arc-shaped top surface. The three dimensional wound dressing can be placed into a cavity wound in such a way that the top surface is abutted against an inner wall and a bottom of the cavity wound to effectively absorb wound exudate therefrom. Because the integrity of the foam body of the wound dressing can be maintained after the wound dressing absorbs the wound exudate, a user or a medical staff can conveniently remove and replace the wound dressing.

  • Patent number: 9208959
    Abstract: Disclosed is a super capacitor and method of manufacture thereof. This invention relates to a solid state super capacitor comprising a solid state polymer electrolyte and a modified carbonaceous electrode. Said modified carbonaceous electrode comprises a conductive carbonaceous material covered with active ingredients. Said modified carbonaceous electrode and said solid state polymer electrolyte are layered on top of each other to form a sandwich-like structure. Said super capacitor performs much better than known super capacitor comprising liquid or gel-form electrolytes. Said super capacitor has higher conductivity, therefore can be manufactured without a current collector. Since said super capacitor contains solid state polymer electrolyte, the method of manufacturing said super capacitor is more environmentally friendly and has a higher safety level.

  • Patent number: 9125963
    Abstract: A wound dressing for covering a wound includes a textile layer woven by polyacrylonitrile-based activated carbon fiber, and an absorbent layer provided on one side of the textile layer away from the wound. The activated carbon fiber is produced by polyacrylonitrile oxidized fiber in a moisturized carbon dioxide atmosphere at the temperature of 700° C. to 1200° C. for 1 to 60 minutes. The material of the absorbent layer is cotton, alginate, poly vinyl alcohol, or a combination thereof. The water absorbing ability of the absorbent layer is superior to that of the textile layer. Because the textile layer does not produce dust and can keep dry, the hard-to-heal wounds can be prevented.
