Quality assurance flood source and method of making

Patent Fisher, Darrell R [Richland, WA]; Alexander, David L [West Richland, WA]; Satz, Stanley [Surfside, FL]

Disclosed is a is an improved flood source, and method of making the same, which emits an evenly distributed flow of energy from a gamma emitting radionuclide dispersed throughout the volume of the flood source. The flood source is formed by filling a bottom pan with a mix of epoxy resin with cobalt-57, preferably at 10 to 20 millicuries and then adding a hardener. The pan is secured to a flat, level surface to prevent the pan from warping and to act as a heat sink for removal of heat from the pan during the curing of the resin-hardener mixture.

Method and apparatus for measuring the state of charge in a battery based on volume of battery components

Patent Rouhani, S Zia [Idaho Falls, ID]

The state of charge of electrochemical batteries of different kinds is determined by measuring the incremental change in the total volume of the reactive masses in the battery. The invention is based on the principle that all electrochemical batteries, either primary or secondary (rechargeable), produce electricity through a chemical reaction with at least one electrode, and the chemical reactions produce certain changes in the composition and density of the electrode. The reactive masses of the electrodes, the electrolyte, and any separator or spacers are usually contained inside a battery casing of a certain volume. As the battery is used, ormore » « less

Rate-sensitive and self-releasing battery cells and battery-cell structures as structural and/or energy-absorbing vehicle components

Patent

A battery system includes a load bearing structure having battery cells, or structures formed by battery cells, and at least one mechanical switch, and an electrical connection coupled with the battery cells of the load bearing structure. A battery has a rate-sensitive component that is configured to deform into a first state to provide a first reaction force under a mechanical loading of a first magnitude. The rate-sensitive component is configured to deform into a second state to provide a second reaction force under a mechanical loading of a second magnitude.

Systems and methods for optimizing component placement in a battery design

Patent Cox, Kelsea; Kang, Laura S.; Hall, David E.; ...

Systems, computer readable media, and method concern determining operational parameters of an inventory of components to be included in a battery. The components can include storage components and electrical components. The method includes generating a system of equations that describe suitable combinations of components in locations in a battery design layout for the battery, the system of equations being generated based at least partially on rules and constraints, and includes analyzing the system of equations using integer optimization. The integer optimization can optimizes, based at least partially on the operational parameters, one or more objective functions in the system ofmore » « less

Multi-component intermetallic electrodes for lithium batteries

Patent Thackeray, Michael M; Trahey, Lynn; Vaughey, John T

Multi-component intermetallic negative electrodes prepared by electrochemical deposition for non-aqueous lithium cells and batteries are disclosed. More specifically, the invention relates to composite intermetallic electrodes comprising two or more compounds containing metallic or metaloid elements, at least one element of which can react with lithium to form binary, ternary, quaternary or higher order compounds, these compounds being in combination with one or more other metals that are essentially inactive toward lithium and act predominantly, but not necessarily exclusively, to the electronic conductivity of, and as current collection agent for, the electrode. The invention relates more specifically to negative electrode materialsmore » « less
