US Patent:
6368738, Apr 9, 2002
Filed:
Sep 4, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/148301
Inventors:
Joseph Lynn Passaniti - Middleton WI
Gregory Scott Moy - Madison WI
Assignee:
Rayovac Corporation - Madison WI
International Classification:
H01M 1206
US Classification:
429 27, 429 42, 429 44, 429116, 429165
Abstract:
An air depolarized cell comprises an anode, a cathode, including an air cathode assembly openly exposed to the ambient environment and/or defining at least a portion of the outer surface of the cell. The cell can comprise a bottom member defining a bottom of the cell, and a top member defining a top of the cell, the air cathode assembly extending between the bottom member and the top member as the exposed or outer portion of the cell. An anode cavity can be disposed inwardly of the separator and upwardly of the bottom member, and contain a mass of electroactive anode material. An elongate anode current collector preferably extends into the anode material. The top member can comprise a top contour washer having inner and outer downwardly depending legs receiving an upper edge portion of the cathode assembly in a slot therebetween, and an insulating grommet in the slot, electrically insulating the cathode assembly from the top contour washer and sealing against liquid leakage out of the cell through the slot.

US Classification:
429174, 429 27, 429164, 429171
Abstract:
An elongate, generally tubular, air depolarized electrochemical cell ( ) comprising a cathode ( ), including an air cathode assembly ( ), extending about the tubular circumference, and along the tubular length, of the cell ( ), an anode ( ), a separator ( ) between the anode ( ) and the cathode ( ), electrolyte, a top closure member ( ), and a bottom closure member ( ). The cathode assembly ( ) is fixedly held, by a friction fit, in a slot ( ) at the bottom of the cell. The slot can be developed, for example, by inner ( ) and outer ( ) wars of a cathode can ( ), by inner ( ) and outer ( ) walls of a bottom closure member ( ), or by an outer wall ( ) of a cathode can ( ) and an opposing outer wall of a plug ( ) on the interior of the cell. Preferably, bottom closure structure of the cell ( ) and receives a bottom edge portion ( ) of the cathode current collector ( ), and makes electrical contact with, the bottom edge portion ( ), preferably at an inner surface ( ) of the cathode current collector. A diffusion member ( ) of the cathode assembly ( ) is preferably compressed as a seal, at the bottom of the cell ( ), between an outer side wall ( ) of the cell and the remainder of the cathode assembly ( ).

Nickel-Plated Screen For Electrochemical Cell

View page
US Patent:
20050026031, Feb 3, 2005
Filed:
Aug 1, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/633152
Inventors:
Rodney McKenzie - Madison WI, US
Jeremy Chapman - Portage WI, US
Zhihong Jin - Cottage Grove WI, US
Joseph Passaniti - Madison WI, US
Jeffrey Poirier - Madison WI, US
International Classification:
H01M004/86
H01M012/06
H01M004/88
US Classification:
429044000, 429027000, 502101000, 029623200
Abstract:
A screen for an electrochemical cell is fabricated by providing an interwoven wire mesh, and electroplating nickel onto the mesh, which bonds with the joints to create a screen usable with an electrochemical cell. The mesh can first be rolled to partially bond the wires prior to the electroplating step.

Heated Device For Dispensing A Volatile Active

International Classification:
H05B 3/00
A01N 25/00
US Classification:
219201000, 424405000
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to a device for dispensing a volatile active material that may be direct current (DC) (batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, and the like) powered or chemically powered. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a battery operated insect repellant device that is easily portable and is capable of providing a sufficient vaporous stream of a volatile insecticide and/or other active agent, to protect a user. The battery operated insect repellant device is configured to operate at high efficiency such that a high percentage of battery energy input into the device is converted to heat used to volatilize the insecticide or other active agent.

Appl. No.:
12/177312
Inventors:
Karthik Ramaswami - Middleton WI, US
Zhihong Jin - Peewaukee WI, US
Erik Mortensen - Waunakee WI, US
Gregory J. Davidson - Oregon WI, US

William C. Bushong - Madison WI, US
Assignee:
ROVCAL, INC. - Madison WI
International Classification:
C25B 9/00
US Classification:
204266
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to an on-demand hydrogen gas generation device, suitable for use in a fuel cell, which utilizes water electrolysis, and more particularly galvanic cell corrosion, and/or a chemical hydride reaction, to produce hydrogen gas. The present disclosure additionally relates to such a device that comprises a switching mechanism that has an electrical current passing therethrough and that repeatedly and reversibly moves between a first position and a second position when exposed to pressure differential resulting from hydrogen gas generation, in order to (1) alter the rate at which hydrogen gas is generated, such that hydrogen gas is generated on an as-needed basis for a fuel cell connected thereto, and/or (2) ensure a substantially constant flow of hydrogen gas is released therefrom. The present disclosure additionally or alternatively relates to such an on-demand hydrogen gas generation device that comprises a gas management system designed to maximize the release or evolution of hydrogen gas, and in particular dry hydrogen gas, therefrom once it has been formed, thus maximizing hydrogen gas output. The present disclosure is still further directed to a fuel cell comprising such an on-demand hydrogen gas generation device, and in particular a fuel cell designed for small-scale applications.
