The Need Conventional Li-ion batteries consist of electrodes constructed of stacks of 70 µm films. The thin electrodes then require current collectors and separators for assembly, which increase mass without adding charge capacity. The need for these inactive components limits the power densi…

In conventional power module structures, the die is attached to the substrate, usually direct bonding copper (DBC). The ceramic substrate layer provides electrical insulation between the circuit and cooling structure and attaches to a conductive baseplate material (Cu, Al, AlSiC) to dissipate heat…

Automation using robotics has taken many forms including, but not limited to, automotive manufacturing, transportation of good in shipping warehouses, and the delicate handling of wafers in semiconductor plants. In many of these applications grippers and end-of-arm-tools (EOAT’s) are incorpo…

Despite the utility of methacrylate adhesive chemistry, applications have been limited to industrial and biomedical use cases. This is due to the curing mechanism, which is initiated by either heat, light or a two-component redox system. This invention describes two strategies to create a single-c…

Estimating absolute phase of Radiofrequency (RF) field including both the transmit field and receive sensitivity is very important for various stages of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure. It can be used for mulit-transmit, RF shimming, parallel imaging reconstruction, electric propert…

III-Nitride ultraviolet light emitting diodes (UV LEDs) have a variety of promising applications, including sterilization and water purification. Currently, UV LEDs use an absorbing p-GaN top layer for hole injection, which reduces light extraction efficiency to lower than 20%. UV light emissions …
