20110241144 | Nuclear Batteries - We introduce a new technology for Manufactureable, High Power Density, High Volume Utilization Nuclear Batteries. Betavoltaic batteries are an excellent choice for battery applications which require long life, high power density, or the ability to operate in harsh environments. In order to optimize the performance of betavoltaic batteries for these applications or any other application, it is desirable to maximize the efficiency of beta particle energy conversion into power, while at the same time increasing the power density of an overall device. The small (submicron) thickness of the active volume of both the isotope layer and the semiconductor device is due to the short absorption length of beta electrons. The absorption length determines the self absorption of the beta particles in the radioisotope layer as well as the range, or travel distance, of the betas in the semiconductor converter which is typically a semiconductor device comprising at least one PN junction. Various devices and methods to solve the current industry problems and limitations are presented here. | 10-06-2011 |

This mattress is manufactured of durable foam material and covered in all-cotton batting, and in another embodiment, produced as an innerspring mattress containing a series of stainless steel coils which are covered in dual insulators and fiber padding and secured in place via durable steel border rods. The novel feature of the Evolution Bed is found in the inclusion of a system of air bladders which encompass the top of the mattress. Configured in a series of undulating rows which run horizontally across the surface of the mattress, these air bladders are inflated and released via an internal motor which disperses air through the individual bladders at timed intervals allowing the individual sections of the mattress expand and contract, thus serving to vastly reduce pressure to specific areas of the body. | 12-29-2011 |
