    摘要: A safety disconnect device for use in detecting a gas in a confined space, such as a flashlight, comprising the use of a catalytic gas recombination material, such as palladium, in conjunction with a heat-sensitive conductive element connected as a switch, in a circuit containing a power supply so that the heat generated by the reaction of the detected gas with a reactant on the surface of the catalytic material will alter the heat-sensitive conductive element to open the circuit.

    摘要: A battery is provided with an end-of-cell voltage indicating device which can be used to indicate the state-of-charge of the battery. The indicating device has a flexible substrate of the same peripheral configuration as the battery. The substrate has an indicating coating on one surface which is in thermal or electrical contact with a conductive circuit pattern which can be temporarily connected between the terminals of the battery on application of pressure to an indicated spot on the surface of the substrate. The conductive circuit means causes the indicating coating to undergo a visible change which is representative of the state-of-charge or voltage of the battery. A dual end-switched, integral battery and state-of-charge indicating device having two switches disposed on one end of the battery is also disclosed.

    摘要: A fluid consuming battery (10) is provided with a fluid regulating system (50) for regulating fluid entry into the battery. The battery (10) includes a fluid consuming cell (20) having a cell housing with fluid entry ports for the passage of a fluid into the cell housing. A first fluid consuming electrode and a second electrode are disposed within the cell housing. The fluid regulating system (50) includes a valve having a moving plate (66) disposed adjacent to a fixed plate (62). The moving plate and fixed plate both have fluid entry ports (68, 64) that align in an open valve position and are misaligned in a closed valve position. The fluid regulating system (50) also includes an actuator that may include one or more shape memory alloy (SMA) components (82a, 82b) for moving the moving plate (66) relative to the fixed plate (62) to open and close the valve.

    摘要: The battery tester of the present invention includes a heating element for generating heat in response to current supplied from a battery, and an indicator provided in proximity to the heating element for providing a visual indication of the remaining capacity of the battery in response to the heat generated by the heating element. The heating element has a display portion and first and second connecting portions on either side of the display portion that are selectively coupled to opposite terminals of the battery. The connecting portions of the heating elements have a lower resistivity than the display portion thereby reducing the heat generated at the switch contacts that are pressed by the user to activate the tester.

    摘要: The battery tester of the present invention includes a heating element coupled to opposite terminals of a battery for generating heat in response to current supplied from the battery, and an indicator provided in proximity to the heating element. The indicator has a visual property that changes in response to the heat generated by the heating element. According to the present invention, at least a portion of the heating element is made of a variable resistivity material having a resistivity that changes in response to ambient temperature. By using a variable resistivity material that has a resistivity that increases as ambient temperature increases, a thermochromic on-label battery tester may be provided that is automatically calibrated to provide an accurate indication of the remaining battery capacity regardless of the ambient temperatures at which the battery tester may be used.
