20110149477 | SOLID ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - An improved solid electrolytic capacitor and method of forming a solid electrolytic capacitor is described. The method includes forming an anode comprising a valve metal or conductive oxide of a valve metal wherein an anode lead extension protrudes from the anode. A dielectric is formed on the anode and a cathode layer is formed on the dielectric. The anode, dielectric, and cathode layer are encased in a non-conducting material and the anode lead extension is exposed outside of the encasement at a side surface. A conductive metal layer is adhered to the anode lead extension which allows termination preferably by electrically connecting a preformed solid metal terminal, most preferably an L shaped terminal, to the conductive metal layer at the side surface. | 06-23-2011 |

20080244885 | METHOD FOR FORMING A CAPACITOR HAVING A COPPER ELECTRODE AND A HIGH SURFACE AREA ALUMINUM INNER LAYER - High capacitance value capacitors are formed using bimetal foils of an aluminum layer attached to a copper layer. The copper side of a bimetallic copper/aluminum foil or a monometallic aluminum foil is temporarily protected using aluminum or other materials, to form a sandwich. The exposed aluminum is treated to increase the surface area of the aluminum by at least one order of magnitude, while not attacking any portion of the protected metal. When the sandwich is separated, the treated bimetal foil is formed into a capacitor, where the copper layer is one electrode of the capacitor and the treated aluminum layer is in intimate contact with a dielectric layer of the capacitor. | 10-09-2008 |

20100307011 | COMBINATION BLOWER, TRIMMER AND EDGER FOR TENDING VEGETATION - An engine is connected to the upper end of a drive shaft housing and a work head with a string trimmer or blower or both is operatively connected to the lower end of the drive shaft housing and is rotatably driven by an engine rotating a drive shaft inside the drive shaft housing and connected to the working head. The drive shaft housing is rigidly connected to the working head and may be rotated about its longitudinal axis relative to the engine in any desired amount of rotation, but the preferred degree of rotation is 135° to move the working head from a trimming position with the rotating trimmer string in a horizontal position to an edging position with the rotating trimmer string in a vertical position and with the working head being displaced to the operator's right side for better viewing and control and operator comfort. In one embodiment, a gear driven crank handle is rigidly connected to the drive shaft housing and is itself rotated 135° as the drive shaft housing is rotated 135° to place the handle in a position that is comfortable to use. Further, the amount of air flowing through the blower is regulated by an air outlet regulating valve and a separate air intake regulating valve. | 12-09-2010 |
