A management circuit stops or throttles charging once the battery is full, so it doesn't “overflow”. What really wears out a lithium-ion battery is heat, the number of cycles and sitting at 100% for long periods. That's why many devices offer optimised charging that pauses at 80% and finishes just before you wake up. As for the “memory effect”, it mostly affected older nickel batteries.
In 1843, inventor Alexander Bain patented a way to send images over telegraph wires using synchronized pendulums. By the 1860s, a commercial fax service was already linking cities. The telephone wasn't patented until 1876, more than three decades after that first fax patent. The fax is really a child of the telegraph age.
On 8 October 1958, in Stockholm, 43-year-old Arne Larsson received the very first implanted pacemaker. The device, designed by engineer Rune Elmqvist and implanted by surgeon Åke Senning, worked for only a few hours and had to be replaced. Larsson went on to receive more than twenty pacemakers in his lifetime. He died in 2001 aged 86, outliving both the engineer and the surgeon.
