TL;DR: In this paper, the unique requirements of the vehicle apoach are discussed and the role of the lithium ion batteries in the automotive sector is discussed, as well as their role in the development of electric vehicles.
Abstract: Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have transformed the consumer electronics (CE) sector and are beginning to power the electrification of the automotive sector. The unique requirements of the vehicle ap...

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that when a viscoelastic mixture of molten polymers is extruded, composites are produced as a result of the formation of two distinct modes of dispersion: stratification or droplet-fiber formation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the theory, simulation results, and experimental study of the levitating force associated with Interdigitated capacitor (electro static comb) lateral actuators.
Abstract: This paper presents the theory, simulation results, and experimental study of the levitating force (normal to the substrate) associated with Interdigitated capacitor (electro static comb) lateral actuators. For compliant suspensions, normal displacements of over 2 /spl mu/m for a comb bias of 30 V are observed. This phenomenon is due to electrostatic attraction induced on top of the suspended structure. By electrically lsolating alternating drive-comb fingers and applying voltages of equal magnitude and opposite sign, levitation force can be reduced by an order of magnitude, while reducing the lateral drive force by less than a factor of 2. The levitation theory incorporates electrostatic simulation results, and agrees well with experimental data.

TL;DR: It is concluded that elevated CRP is a risk factor for ischemic stroke, independent of atherosclerosis severity as measured by carotid IMT, and the association of CRP with stroke is more apparent in the presence of a higher carotID IMT.
Abstract: Background-Increased carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) are both associated with the occurrence of stroke. We investigated whether elevated CRP is a risk factor for ischemic stroke independent of carotid IMT and studied the interaction between CRP and IMT. Methods and Results-We studied 5417 participants aged 65 years or older without preexisting stroke or chronic atrial fibrillation who were participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study. The hazard ratio of incident ischemic stroke was estimated by Cox proportional hazards regression. During 10.2 years of follow-up, 469 incident ischemic strokes occurred. The adjusted hazard ratios for ischemic stroke in the 2nd to 4th quartiles of baseline CRP, relative to the 1st quartile, were 1.19 (95% CI 0.92 to 1.53), 1.05 (95% CI 0.81 to 1.37), and 1.60 (95% CI 1.23 to 2.08), respectively. With additional adjustment for carotid IMT, there was little confounding. The association of CRP with stroke was significantly different depending on IMT (P<0.02), with no association of CRP with stroke among those in the lowest IMT tertile and a significant association among those with higher levels of IMT. Conclusions-We conclude that elevated CRP is a risk factor for ischemic stroke, independent of atherosclerosis severity as measured by carotid IMT. The association of CRP with stroke is more apparent in the presence of a higher carotid IMT. CRP and carotid IMT may each be independent integrals in determining the risk of ischemic stroke.
