Abstract: The present invention relates generally to using upconverting inks for producing highly-resolved patterns for, inter alia, security applications. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of sols (inks) and printing processes that produce well-defined printed features consisting of polymers impregnated with luminescent upconversion nanocrystals. The patterns printed using such inks and processes may exhibit defined shapes, characters of text, and various other types of images.

Abstract: This application relates to anode compositions and methods of making and using the same. In particular, the anode compositions are preferably layered. Preferably, the methods of making the anode compositions comprise a surfactant mediated assembly of layers. The anode compositions have improved structural integrity and capacity while reducing capacity fade due to cycling.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various patient measurement devices having an extendable elongate body and a deployable arm rotatably coupled to the elongate body. The elongate body has a first body comprising a lumen defined along a length of the first body and a second body extendably disposed within the lumen of the first body. The deployable arm is rotatably coupled to an end of the second body and is rotatably movable between a retracted position and a deployed position. Also disclosed are various methods of using the device to take various range-of-motion measurements, other physical capability measurements, and anthropometric measurements.
