20110207168 | Fiber-Based Biosensors for Use in Detecting the Presence of a Biologically Active Substance - Disclosed are fibers comprising one or more electrostatically attached substrates that can be used to determine the presence of a biologically active substance. Further disclosed are substrates comprising the fibers, articles of manufacture comprising the fibers and/or substrates, and methods for detecting the presence of a biologically active substance. | 08-25-2011 |
20120088155 | ALGINATE-CONTAINING COMPOSITIONS FOR USE IN BATTERY APPLICATIONS - A silicon-based anode comprises an alginate-containing binder. The many carboxy groups of alginate bind to a surface of silicon, creating strong, rigid hydrogen bonds that withstand battery cycling. The alginate-containing binder provides good performance to the anode by (1) improving the capacity of the anode in comparison to other commercially-available binders, (2) improving Columbonic efficiency during charging and discharging cycles, and (3) improving stability during charging and discharging cycles. | 04-12-2012 |
20140050670 | MULTIFUNCTIONAL NANOPARTICLES - The invention provides a nanoparticle for delivery of therapeutic agents, comprising a polymeric nanosphere and one or more detection agents, said detection agents for use in detecting the location of the nanoparticle. The invention further provides a transfection agent comprising an aforementioned nanoparticle. | 02-20-2014 |

20120244391 | Silicon-Based Anode and Method for Manufacturing the Same - A silicon-based anode comprising silicon, a carbon coating that coats the surface of the silicon, a polyvinyl acid that binds to at least a portion of the silicon, and vinylene carbonate that seals the interface between the silicon and the polyvinyl acid. Because of its properties, polyvinyl acid binders offer improved anode stability, tunable properties, and many other attractive attributes for silicon-based anodes, which enable the anode to withstand silicon cycles of expansion and contraction during charging and discharging. | 09-27-2012 |
20130325121 | PROTEIN BASED MATERIALS, PLASTIC ALBUMIN DEVICES AND RELATED METHODS - Medical devices with a plastic albumin body with a defined three dimensional shape that are particularly suitable for pressure equalization tubes. The plastic albumin body can be a unitary substantially monolithic body of albumin. The plastic albumin body has an antibacterial property such that it is resistant to bacterial adhesions and/or bacterial biofilm formation thereon. Methods and processes are described for forming a consolidated protein-based coating on an implant, and coated implants produced therefrom, with improved biocompatibility, nonthrombogenity and antimicrobiality that are suitable for various medical implants and drug delivery devices, such as bone implants, catheters, cannuale, guide wires, stents, shunts, vascular grafts, heart valves, heart and ventricular assist devices, oxygenators, dialyzers, medical devices, and other substrates, such as furniture, keyboards, etc. | 12-05-2013 |

20130224594 | Core-Shell Composites for Sulfur-Based Cathodes in Metal-Ion Batteries - A battery cathode electrode composition is provided comprising core-shell composites. Each of the composites may comprise a sulfur-based core and a multi-functional shell. The sulfur-based core is provided to electrochemically react with metal ions during battery operation to store the metal ions in the form of a corresponding metal-sulfide during discharging or charging of the battery and to release the metal ions from the corresponding metal-sulfide during charging or discharging of the battery. The multi-functional shell at least partially encases the sulfur-based core and is formed from a material that is (i) substantially permeable to the metal ions of the corresponding metal-sulfide and (ii) substantially impermeable to electrolyte solvent molecules and metal polysulfides. | 08-29-2013 |
20140057179 | SCAFFOLDING MATRIX WITH INTERNAL NANOPARTICLES - A battery electrode composition is provided comprising composite particles, with each composite particle comprising active material and a scaffolding matrix. The active material is provided to store and release ions during battery operation. For certain active materials of interest, the storing and releasing of the ions causes a substantial change in volume of the active material. The scaffolding matrix is provided as a porous, electrically-conductive scaffolding matrix within which the active material is disposed. In this way, the scaffolding matrix structurally supports the active material, electrically interconnects the active material, and accommodates the changes in volume of the active material. | 02-27-2014 |
