20090311587 | Flexible Energy Storage Devices - A flexible energy storage device comprising a flexible housing; an electrolyte contained within the housing; an anode and cathode comprise a current collector and anode/cathode material supported on the current collector. The current collector comprising a fabric substrate ( | 12-17-2009 |
20100178555 | LITHIUM ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE - A lithium energy storage device comprising at least one positive electrode, at least one negative electrode, and an ionic liquid electrolyte comprising bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (FSI) as the anion and a cation counterion, and lithium ions at a level of greater than 0.3 mol/kg of ionic liquid, and not more than 1.5 mol/kg of ionic liquid. Also described is a lithium energy storage device comprising an FSI ionic liquid electrolyte and LiBF4 or LiPF6 as the lithium salt. Also described is a lithium energy storage device comprising an FSI ionic liquid electrolyte and a positive electrode comprising lithium metal phosphate, in which the metal is a first-row transition metal, or a doped derivate thereof. | 07-15-2010 |
20110097624 | REDOX ELECTRODES FOR FLEXIBLE DEVICES - Flexible electrodes comprising: a fabric substrate; a conductive polymer, copolymer or mixture of conductive polymers comprising a first component which has high specific electrochemical capacitance, and a second component which has a lower electrochemical capacitance, lower molecular density, and greater electrical conductivity compared to the first component; and a counterion stable to lithium are described. The first component may be a polymer such as polyaniline or polypyrrole, and second component may be a polymer such as polythiophene or polyEDOT. Copolymers, and polymers formed from co-monomer of these monomer units are also described. The electrodes are used in flexible devices such as flexible energy storage devices. | 04-28-2011 |
20130202973 | IONIC LIQUIDS FOR BATTERIES - An organic cation for a battery, including a heteroatom-containing cyclic compound having at least (2) ring structures formed from rings that share at least one common atom, the cyclic compound having both a formal positive charge of at least +1 and a partial negative charge. | 08-08-2013 |

20090045260 | Retail Information Collection - An apparatus for collecting and transmitting a retail data comprising a barcode data of the products purchased over each transaction. The apparatus comprises a terminal device that has loaded onto it a retail information collection application that receives, stores, processes, and transmits the retail data. Financial data such as credit card numbers and personal identification numbers are removed from the retail data before it is encrypted and transmitted over a network to a retail database. Clients including but not limited to goods suppliers and goods manufacturers may view retail data, including sales history and sales performance, on one or more products. | 02-19-2009 |
20090048917 | Customer Loyalty Program - A loyalty program is enabled by a data collection set-up. The data collection set-up collects and transmits both the loyalty data and the product barcode data to a server. The server links the product barcode to a customer's purchase profile and issues messages where appropriate. The messages may comprise a redeemable voucher that bears a unique barcode, or an error message that informs the customer and the retailer that an invalid loyalty card or voucher has been scanned. The product barcode data may be cross checked with a marketing database so that the server may enable manufacturers or other goods suppliers to provide targeted advertising. | 02-19-2009 |
20090049109 | Distribution Fabric - A data distribution fabric enabled over a communications network. The fabric comprises several edge servers that engage in bidirectional communication with one another over the network. One of the edge servers has read/write access to a backup database and is a backup server. A data or a software application stored in the local hard disk or local cache of an edge server is accessible by all other edge servers within the fabric. A data that matches a report profile is added to the corresponding report, so that the data reporting is customizable and continuously updatable. | 02-19-2009 |
