    Abstract: An apparatus for automatically extruding and forming a finished concrete channel in a drainage ditch. The apparatus includes a frame having support rails for positioning the apparatus over a drainage ditch. A concrete-receiving hopper is attached to the frame for delivering received concrete into the ditch to be shaped into a channel form. A mold having a projection to define a concrete surface of the channel is positioned beneath a top portion of the frame and configured to be received in a hollow mating portion of a laterally-reciprocating piston to shape the received concrete. A lever driver drives the reciprocating piston through a mechanically-linked motor. A vibrator cooperates with the concrete-receiving hopper to urge received concrete into the ditch to be shaped by the mold.

    Abstract: Abstract:
    A secondary electrochemical device, includes a high-voltage positive electrode, a negative electrode such as a lithium metal electrode, and an optional separator. A non-aqueous liquid electrolyte includes at least one metal-organic polyhedral (MOP) additive in an amount at least 0.1 weight percent. Typically, an upper limit of the additive is approximately 4 weight percent. The MOP additive has a discrete porous nanocage structure including plural metal clusters with organic ligands forming an accessible cavity with open metal sites and organic functionalities configured to trap water, anions, and transition metal species from the non-aqueous liquid electrolyte. The MOP is further configured to facilitate lithium-ion transport, scavenge free radicals, and stabilize electrode-electrolyte interphases.

    Abstract: A quasi-solid-state battery formed from non-gas evolving in-situ curing of a quasi-solid-state electrolyte that includes a high swelling polymer made from a monomer with good compatibility with liquid electrolytes, and has a good reactivity for facile non-gas evolving in-situ polymerization. The monomer can be based on acrylate polymerization chemistry or an allyl group polymerization chemistry. Non-gas evolving initiators are used for non-gas evolving in-situ polymerization of acrylate or allyl monomer-based QSE. The resulting QSE additionally has high ionic conductivity, allowing for a high battery output, and a wide electrochemical window (stable for lithium metal anode and high-voltage cathodes). The resulting quasi solid electrolyte battery is not only easy to fabricate using conventional battery manufacturing practices, the non-gas evolving in-situ polymerization causes the QSE to be uniformly distributed within the battery, ensuring high-quality, safe battery performance and longevity.

    Abstract: A multimode immersion cooling system includes a first, single-phase immersion cooling mode and a second, two-phase immersion cooling mode. The system operates in a single phase mode and reserves a two-phase mode for peak energy consumption periods. A single thermal transfer fluid is used for both modes, remaining in a liquid phase in a first single-phase immersion cooling mode and vaporizing when the thermal transfer fluid temperature reaches its boiling point in a second two-phase immersion cooling mode. A heat exchanger extracts thermal energy from heated thermal transfer fluid in the single phase mode while a condenser cools vaporized thermal transfer fluid to condense the vapor during the second, two-phase immersion cooling mode. A controller determines whether the multimode immersion cooling system operates in the single-phase mode or the second two-phase mode, or both.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrophotographic photoreceptor, which includes a conductive substrate; an undercoat layer disposed on the conductive substrate and capable of conforming to the contour of the conductive substrate, a photoconductor charge generation layer disposed on the undercoat layer and capable of conforming to the contour of the undercoat layer, and a charge transport layer disposed on the photoconductor charge generation layer. The charge transport layer contains a charge transport material, a binder resin, a fluorine-containing resin, and a plurality of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) particles evenly dispersed in the binder resin, and the POSS particles are interconnected with at least one fluorine group and at least two non-fluoridated groups. By adding approximately 1% of the POSS particles and lubricant nanoparticles, a life-time improvement of at least 20% is achieved for an OPC drum.
