Abstract of Patents and Patent Applications I. Articles comprising a resistor comprising core shell liquid metal encapsulates and methods of detecting an impact on an article using a resistor comprising core shell liquid metal encapsulates are disclosed. Such core shell liquid metal encapsulates enable simple but robust impact sensors as such encapsulates comprise a highly electrically resistant metal oxide shell that prevents such encapsulates from coalescing. Yet when such shell is ruptured, the highly conductive bulk liquid metal is released. Such liquid metal changes electrical properties of a sensor comprising core shell liquid metal encapsulates which in turn is evidence of the aforementioned impact.
Intellectual property:
U.S. Patent No. 10,900,848 B2, that issued on January 26, 2021, and entitled Articles comprising a resistor comprising core shell liquid metal encapsulates and method of detecting an impact..
II. The present invention relates to core shell liquid metal encapsulates comprising multi-functional ligands, networks comprising such encapsulates and processes of making and using such encapsulates and networks. When subjected to strain, such networks conductivity is enhanced, thus allowing the network to serve as a healing agent that restores at least a portion of the conductivity in an adjacent conductor.

376,644, that was filed on July 15, 2021. Such patent and patent application being entitled Core shell liquid metal encapsulates comprising multi-functional ligands and networks comprising same III. The present invention relates to articles comprising core shell liquid metal encapsulate networks and methods of using core shell liquid metal encapsulate networks to control AC
signals and power. Such method permits the skilled artisan to control the radiation, transmission, reflection and modulation of an AC signal and power.
As a result, AC system properties such as operation frequency, polarization, gain, directionality, insertion loss, return loss, and impedance can be controlled under strain.

encapsulate networks and method to control alternating current signals and power.
IV. The present invention relates to substrates comprising a network comprising core shell liquid metal encapsulates comprising multifunctional ligands and processes of making and using such substrates. The core shell liquid metal particles are linked via ligands to form such network.
Such networks volumetric conductivity increases under strain which maintains a substrates resistance under strain. The constant resistance results in consistent thermal heating via resistive heating.
Thus allowing a substrate that comprises such network to serve as an effective heat provider.

Such patent and patent application being entitled Substrates comprising a network comprising core shell liquid metal encapsulates comprising multi-functional ligands V. The present invention relates to architected liquid metal networks and processes of making and using same.
The predetermined template design technology of such architected liquid metal networks provides the desired spatial control of electrical, electromagnetic, and thermal properties as a function of strain. Thus, resulting in improved overall performance including process ability.
