Low profile pressure disconnect device for lithium ion batteries

Patent Onnerud, Tord Per Jens; Shi, Jay Jie

Casings for lithium ion batteries are provided that include a container or assembly that defines a base, side walls and a top or lid, and a vent structure associated with the container or assembly. A flame arrestor may be positioned in proximity to the vent structure. The lithium ion battery may also include a pressure disconnect device associated with the casing. The pressure disconnect device may include a deflectable dome-based activation mechanism, and the deflectable dome-based activation mechanism may be configured and dimensioned to prevent burn through, e.g., by increasing the mass of the dome-based activation mechanism, adding material (e.g.,more » « less

Thermal disconnect for high-temperature batteries

Patent Jungst, Rudolph George [Albuquerque, NM]; Armijo, James Rudolph [Albuquerque, NM]; Frear, Darrel Richard [Austin, TX]

A new type of high temperature thermal disconnect has been developed to protect electrical and mechanical equipment from damage caused by operation at extreme temperatures. These thermal disconnects allow continuous operation at temperatures ranging from 250.degree. C. to 450.degree. C., while rapidly terminating operation at temperatures 50.degree. C. to 150.degree. C. higher than the continuous operating temperature.

Control rod drive mechanism (CRDM) with remote disconnect mechanism

Patent Lobscheid, Christian

The drive assembly includes annular drive magnets extending around a top end of a drive shaft and annular drive coils extending around the drive magnets, separated by a pressure boundary. A latch assembly is coupled to the drive magnets and engages with the drive shaft in response to actuation of the drive assembly. The drive coils also rotate the drive magnets and the engaged latch assembly to axially displace the drive shaft. Deactivating the drive coils disengages the latch assembly from the drive shaft, dropping a connected control rod assembly via gravity into a nuclear fuel assembly.

Determining resistivity of a geological formation using circuitry located within a borehole casing

Patent Vail III, William Banning

Geological formation resistivity is determined. Circuitry is located within the borehole casing that is adjacent to the geological formation. The circuitry can measure one or more voltages across two or more voltage measurement electrodes associated with the borehole casing. The measured voltages are used by a processor to determine the resistivity of the geological formation. A common mode signal can also be reduced using the circuitry.

Pulse width modulation inverter with battery charger

Patent Slicker, James M [Union Lake, MI]

An inverter is connected between a source of DC power and a three-phase AC induction motor, and a microprocessor-based circuit controls the inverter using pulse width modulation techniques. In the disclosed method of pulse width modulation, both edges of each pulse of a carrier pulse train are equally modulated by a time proportional to sin .theta., where .theta. is the angular displacement of the pulse center at the motor stator frequency from a fixed reference point on the carrier waveform. The carrier waveform frequency is a multiple of the motor stator frequency. The modulated pulse train is then applied tomore » « less
