摘要： A non-hermetically sealed, electrochemical power source, includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a separator between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a membrane in fluid communication with an environment external to the battery. The second electrode is between the separator and the membrane. The membrane includes a first portion having a different property, e.g., density, porosity, mass transport resistance, thickness, or gas permeability, than a second portion of the membrane. Methods of designing an electrochemical cell cartridge are also disclosed.

摘要： A zinc-air cell with an anode cup comprising anode active material and a cathode cup comprising catalytic or cathode active material wherein the cathode cup comprises an exposed nickel layer which has been softened to improve electrical contact with the device being powered such as a hearing aid. A cathode cup in desired shape and size is formed of a substrate metal such as cold rolled steel or stainless steel. A nickel layer is plated onto the cathode cup substrate metal and is subsequently heat treated resulting in reduction in the surface hardness of the nickel layer. This improves the reliability of the electrical contact between the cathode cup and the corresponding terminal in the hearing aid or other device being powered.

摘要： This invention relates to a quantum computing device and the means for fabrication thereof. One side of the device includes a circuit containing at least one qubit patterned in a film of superconducting material. The other side of the device includes a conductive plane, also formed from a film of superconducting material. The proximity of the conductive plane suppresses radiative decay of the qubit, while readout is achieved by coupling the qubit to a resonator.

摘要： A fluorosurfactant, preferably an anionic fluorosurfactant, can be added to the anode mixture of a zinc/air cell. A desirable surfactant is an anionic fluoroaliphaticcarboxylate. The addition of the surfactant reduces gassing and improves cell performance. The anode casing can also be treated with the surfactant solution prior to inserting the anode mixture therein. The anode casing of a zinc/air depolarized cell can also be heat treated after the casing has been formed but before anode material comprising zinc is inserted therein. The anode casing has a layer of copper on its inside surface. The process comprises heat treating the anode casing by passing a gas at a temperature between about 200° C. and 700° C., preferably between about 300° C. and 600° C. in contact therewith to form a heat treated anode casing and then cooling said heat treated anode casing to ambient temperature. The heat treated anode casing is stored away from atmospheric air until anode active material is inserted therein during cell assembly. The heat treating process significantly reduces gassing during cell discharge and storage and eliminates the need to add mercury to the anode material.

摘要： A zinc/air button cell having an air spacer member within the air inlet space of the cathode can. The spacer member may be of solid plastic, rubber, or metal construction inserted into the air inlet space (plenum region) of the cathode can adjacent air holes in the can. The spacer member may be of disk-like configuration with cut out sections therein of varying configurations. The cut out sections in the spacer disk form channels of unoccupied free space underlying the air holes allowing air to pass unobstructed from the air holes to the cathode assembly. The channels of free space are generally much wider than the diameter of the air holes. The wide channels of unoccupied “free space” running between the air holes and cathode assembly improve air flow distribution to the cathode assembly. The spacer disk simultaneously provides sufficient support to the cathode assembly preventing it from bending into the cathode can air inlet space.

摘要： A process for heat treating the metal sheeting forming the anode casing of a zinc/air depolarized cell before anode material comprising zinc is inserted into the anode casing. The anode casing has a layer of copper on its inside surface. The process comprises heat treating the metal sheeting forming the anode casing by passing a gas at a temperature between about 200° C. and 700° C., preferably between about 300° C. and 600° C. in contact therewith to form a heat treated sheeting and then cooling said heat treated sheeting to ambient temperature. The anode casing is stored away from atmospheric air until anode active material is inserted therein during cell assembly. The heat treating process significantly reduces gassing during cell discharge and storage. The cell's capacity and performance is improved when the cell's anode comprises particulate zinc (or zinc alloy) plated with indium, preferably between about 200 and 600 ppm indium. The need to add mercury to the anode material is reduced and can be eliminated.
