An electrochemical device includes a cathode including elemental selenium, elemental sulfur, or selenium-sulfur containing composite; a negative electrode; a separator; and an electrolyte including a poly(alkyleneoxide) siloxane; and a salt; wherein a concentration of the salt in the electrolyte is sufficient to minimize dissolution of polysulfides/polyselenides formed during cycling of the device.
Improving machine learning explainability with a graphical user interface
A very low power frontend circuit using the compensating common-gate scheme is described. It combines features of the regular common-gate topology and the trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) schemes allowing designers to achieve low input impedance and sufficient bandwidth with small power consumption. It can be used as an interface between detectors and the pseudo-thyristors we developed to complete a full frontend signal chain. Simulation shows that in a 65 nm process, it is possible to achieve an input impedance <1K Ohms allowing a charge detection <6fC with 3pF parasitic capacitance, using static power below 20 micro-Watts/channel.

A wireless power supply power supply including first tuning circuitry coupled directly to a transmitter, the first tuning circuitry including an LCC configuration. The wireless power supply may include second tuning circuitry coupled directly to switching circuitry (e.g., an inverter) of the power supply, where the second tuning circuitry may be operable to direct power from the switching circuitry to the first tuning circuitry for supply to the transmitter, and where the second tuning circuitry includes a reactance operable to establish inductive operation of the switching circuitry at the switching frequency of the switching circuitry.
Polyphase wireless power transfer systems are provided. The transfer system may be used for charging hybrid and electric vehicles. The systems are capable of transferring over 50 KW over an air gap of 15 cm. The systems use a rotating magnetic field to transfer power. The system may comprise transmitter coil assembly. The coil assembly may be one or more layers. The system may employ either unipolar or bipolar coils. The transmitter also comprises compensating capacitance connected in series with at least one coil for each phase. A value of the compensating capacitance for each phase is determined such that the transmitter has at least two independently excitable resonant modes at a resonant frequency. The transmitter is compatible with a plurality of different receivers including three-phase, single phase with a circular coil and single phase with DD coils.
A method for wirelessly or conductively (non-wireless) providing AC or DC power in AC or DC load applications and bidirectional applications.
The present disclosure provides methods for increasing drought resistance, salt resistance, and biomass production of a plant. The methods encompass expression of DiGeorge-Syndrome Critical Region 14 (DGCR14) gene in the plant. In comparison to a plant not manipulated in this manner, the disclosed, genetically-modified, plants display improved drought resistance and salt resistance. Also provided are plants that can be obtained by the method according to the invention, and nucleic acid vectors to be used in the described methods.
