摘要:
A battery has a housing, a cover, and a seal engaged with the cover. The cover has an outer edge and is connected to the housing at the outer edge. The cover includes at least one portion of reduced thickness between the outer edge of the cover and the seal.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for palletizing rectangular packages received in random size and weight. A "corner"-based modeling system is used to assist in evaluating possible placements of packages accumulated on a line conveyor, and a placement evaluation process is used to select a "best" package placement based on heuristic analysis. Statistically-based measurement and comparison is used to assist in the evaluation process.
摘要:
A primary lithium battery can include a current collector that includes aluminum, a positive lead that includes aluminum, or both. The aluminum battery components can have high mechanical strength and low electrical resistance.
摘要:
Batteries are disclosed having a vent opening that is sealed by a metal foil. Methods and tooling for manufacturing such batteries and methods of venting sealed batteries are also disclosed. In some implementations, sealing is performed using ultrasonic metal welding.

摘要:
The optical path between a camera positioned above a conveyor and objects traveling on the conveyor is adjusted by moving a plurality of mirrors that at least partially define the optical path. The mirrors are manipulated as a function of the height of the objects so that the length of the optical path between each object and the camera is generally the same. The plurality of movable mirrors are equidistant from and arranged about a central point. The plurality of movable mirrors are contemporaneously moved toward and away from the central point to equalize the length of the optical path. Each of the movable mirrors translates along a different travel path. The travel paths are non-parallel. The plurality of movable mirrors are arranged so that the optical path includes a plurality of segments, and at least one intersection is defined between the segments distant from the movable mirrors.
摘要:
An apparatus is provided which provides measuring and accumulation of packages for downstream sorting or stacking. The apparatus provides variable force feeding of packages to reduce chaos accumulation. Reversing of conveyors allows for reduced line compression of packages for ease of removal. An ultrasonic measuring arch is also provided.

Primary lithium cells are provided, the cells having an anode comprising lithium and a cathode comprising iron disulfide. Features of the cells are optimized in order to enhance the cell performance within the constraints imposed by the maximum permitted level of lithium and standard cell dimensions.
