Nov 19, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/992827
Inventors:
John R. Reynolds - Gainesville FL, US
Avni A. Argun - Gainesville FL, US
Pierre Henri Aubert - Port sur Saone, FR
Mathieu Berard - St. Mathurin sur Loire, FR
Assignee:
University of Florida Research Foundation, Inc. - Gainesville FL
International Classification:
G02F 1/153
US Classification:
359265, 359266, 359269, 359271, 359273
Abstract:
A method for contacting patterned electrode devices includes the steps of providing a porous substrate, depositing electrically conductive material to form at least one electrode on a front-side of the porous substrate and depositing at least one electrically conductive back-side contact trace on the back-side of the substrate. A portion of the electrically conductive material penetrates into the substrate. A device is formed including the electrode on the front side of the substrate, wherein the electrode is electrically coupled by a conducting channel including the electrically conductive material through the substrate to the back-side contact trace.

Electrochromic Polymers And Polymer Electrochromic Devices

US Patent:
20030174377, Sep 18, 2003
Filed:
Nov 21, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/302164
Inventors:
John Reynolds - Gainesville FL, US
Irina Schwendeman - Pittsburgh PA, US
Gursel Sonmez - Los Angeles CA, US
Philippe Schottland - Evansville IN, US
Avni Argun - Gainesville FL, US
Pierre Aubert - Port-sur-Saone, FR
Assignee:
University of Florida - Gainesville FL
International Classification:
G02F001/15
US Classification:
359/265000
Abstract:
The subject invention pertains to electrochromic polymers and polymer electrochromic devices. In a specific embodiment, two complementary polymers can be matched and incorporated into dual polymer electrochromic devices. The anodically coloring polymers in accordance with the subject invention can allow control over the color, brightness, and environmental stability of an electrochromic window. In addition, high device contrast ratios, high transmittance changes, and high luminance changes can be achieved, along with half-second switching times for full color change. Also provided are electrochromic devices such as advertising signage, video monitors, stadium scoreboards, computers, announcement boards, warning systems for cell phones, warning/information systems for automobiles, greeting cards, electrochromic windows, billboards, electronic books, and electrical wiring. The subject invention also provides for the use of complementary electrochromic polymers in the manufacture of electrochromic devices. In some embodiments, the devices of the invention can be prepared using metal vapor deposition or line patterning.

Highly Conducting Solid State Ionics For Electrochemical Systems And Methods Of Fabricating Them Using Layer-By-Layer Technology

View page
US Patent:
20090197138, Aug 6, 2009
Filed:
Feb 2, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/364138
Inventors:
Paula T. Hammond - Newton MA, US
Avni A. Argun - Newton MA, US
J. Nathan Ashcraft - Somerville MA, US
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
H01M 8/10
B05D 5/12
US Classification:
429 33, 427 58
Abstract:
Herein are disclosed methods, and compositions produced using them, to assemble highly conducting, hydrolytically stable polymer electrolyte films from commercially-available, water-soluble polymers using layer-by-layer assembly technology. In certain embodiments, these films can be used for electrochemical device applications which require an ion-conducting material to operate. For example, the power efficiency of any electrochemical device with a solid polymer electrolyte layer can be increased by this technology by virtue of the low ionic resistance of these layer-by-layer assembled thin film electrolytes. Specifically, direct-methanol operated fuel cells (DMFCs) should benefit remarkably, as the described technology offers very high conductivity values at fully hydrated conditions with low fuel (methanol) crossover.

Method And System For Detection And/Or Quantification Of Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol In Saliva

View page
US Patent:
20200400695, Dec 24, 2020
Filed:
Feb 7, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/785118
Inventors:
- Newton MA, US
Avni A. Argun - Newton MA, US
Anahita Karimi - Westwood MA, US
International Classification:
G01N 33/94
G01N 33/487
B01L 3/00
G01N 27/48
Abstract:
Method and system for detecting and/or quantifying Δ-tetrahydrocannibinol (THC) in a saliva sample. In one embodiment, the method involves providing an electrochemical sensing element, the electrochemical sensing element including a working electrode, a counter electrode, and a reference electrode, all of which are screen-printed. A saliva sample is then deposited directly on the working electrode. Next, the deposited saliva sample is treated with a fluid that includes one or more alcohols and water in an alcohol/water ratio of 50/50 to 100/0 (v/v), the fluid optionally also including a surfactant. Next, the treated saliva sample is dried, whereby any THC present in the treated saliva sample is immobilized on the working electrode. Next, an electrolytic solution is delivered to the electrochemical sensing element, and the THC immobilized on the working electrode is directly electrochemically detected and/or quantified using a pulse voltammetry technique, such as square-wave voltammetry.

Electrochemical Method For Detection And Quantification Of Organic Compounds In Water

View page
US Patent:
20200025740, Jan 23, 2020
Filed:
Feb 27, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/287431
Inventors:
- Newton MA, US
Avni A. Argun - Newton MA, US
Katherine E. Harrison - Arlington MA, US
International Classification:
G01N 33/18
G01N 27/327
G01N 27/42
Abstract:
Method and system for detection and quantification of oxidizable organics in water. The method involves the partial electrolytic decomposition of the oxidizable organics in a short time frame, preferably less than five seconds, and does not involve the use of toxic reagents. The system includes an electrochemical sensor probe that, in turn, includes a boron-doped diamond microelectrode array. The system additionally includes an electronic transducer and a computing device. The system utilizes an analysis technique to convert sensor signal to a result that can be correlated with COD or BOD values obtained by standard methods. The method and system are particularly suitable for, but not limited to, use in monitoring of water quality at wastewater treatment plants. By employing the method before and after adding aerobic microorganisms to the sample, the method may be used to distinguish biologically oxidizable organics from total oxidizable organics.

US Patent:
20140342271, Nov 20, 2014
Filed:
May 14, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/120353
Inventors:
CORTNEY MITTELSTEADT - WAYLAND MA, US
AVNI ARGUN - NEWTON MA, US
CASTRO LAICER - WATERTOWN MA, US
JASON WILLEY - SUDBURY MA, US
International Classification:
H01M 8/10
C25B 13/02
B29C 67/00
US Classification:
429535, 264155, 264145, 264156, 264479
Abstract:
In polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells and electrolyzes, attaining and maintaining high membrane conductivity and durability is crucial for performance and efficiency. The use of low equivalent weight (EW) perfluorinated ionomers is one of the few options available to improve membrane conductivity. However, excessive dimensional changes of low EW ionomers upon application of wet/dry or freeze/thaw cycles yield catastrophic losses in membrane integrity. Incorporation of ionomers within porous, dimensionally-stable perforated polymer electrolyte membrane substrates provides improved PEM performance and longevity. The present invention provides novel methods using micromolds to fabricate the perforated polymer electrolyte membrane substrates. These novel methods using micromolds create uniform and well-defined pore structures. In addition, these novel methods using micromolds described herein may be used in batch or continuous processing.
