INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE--NON-INVASIVE DIAGNOSIS

Not Available The relatively high resistance and the poor performance are the limitations for the usage of the typical Electrochemical Capacitor (EC) for many applications, which require power under extreme conditions such as a wide range of temperatures. ECs with extended temperature range, high capacitance and low internal resistance are needed to open up a wide range for military, space, and industrial applications. Multi-million-dollar markets are to be expected from automotive and biomedical as well as military operations. The primary objective of this project is to develop high-energy-density, high-power-density, all-solid polymer electrolyte EC, capable of operating over most of the military temperature range (from -40 degrees to 70 degrees Celsius) to be used for military Electric Vehicle (EV) applications. This innovation is based on Giner, Inc.'s extensive knowledge in electrode materials and solid polymer electrolyte processing. The advantage of the proposed EC design includes the long life, small size and wide temperature range. BENEFITS: Commercial applications of the wide temperature range electrochemical capacitor include charge storage devices for uninterruptible power supplies, memory backup and pulse power sources for defibrillator and neurological microstimulators.
