20160028088 | Electrode Current Collector Shielding And Protection - A corrosion-resistant conductive liquid coating for a current collector is described herein. The coating includes a mixture of carbon and wax. The wax can be selected from a paraffin wax, a microcrystalline wax, and mixtures and combinations thereof. The mixture can have a carbon loading of approximately 10 to 50 wt. %, based on total weight of the mixture. Methods for protecting a current collector from material degradation are also described herein. | 01-28-2016 |
20140329142 | Lead-Carbon Battery Current Collector Shielding with Ported Packets - Provided is an activated carbon lead energy storage/battery containing an improved negative activated electrode packet exhibiting substantially reduced resistance with ported paraffin impregnated expanded graphite foil shielding overlying a cutaway notch in the underlying current collector to permit sulfuric acid electrolyte infiltration. | 11-06-2014 |
20140127570 | Process for the Manufacture of Carbon Sheet for an Electrode - A method of making a single carbon sheet for an electrode includes mixing activated carbon; adding a dispersion comprising a PTFE binder and water to the activated carbon to form a mixture; adding the mixture to a jet mill, and fibrillating the PTFE binder; and feeding the mixture with fibrillated PTFE to a roll mill to form a single carbon sheet in a single pass. | 05-08-2014 |
20140062192 | GRID INTERACTIVE DOUBLE CONVERSION INVERTER - A system includes an uninterruptible power supply and a grid-tie inverter, connected to batteries via double conversion of high quality DC power sources. A Grid Interactive Double Conversion unit includes DC source with MPPT control and power modulation; a Bi-directional DC battery port; a Bi-direction AC grid port; a Pure Sine wave AC output; a Generator AC input, and DC contacts to prevent the inverter from back feeding generator during a power failure. | 03-06-2014 |
