摘要:
An apparatus for processing battery electrodes includes: a microwave applicator cavity with slots on opposite ends to allow a continuous sheet to move through the cavity in a first direction; a processing chamber constructed of microwave-transparent material, disposed within the applicator cavity and surrounding the continuous sheet, the processing chamber having slots to allow the continuous sheet to pass through it; a microwave power supply to deliver power to the applicator cavity; a source of heated gas providing a controlled gas flow through the processing chamber in a direction opposite the first direction; and, at least one non-contacting temperature measuring device positioned to measure a surface temperature at a selected location on the continuous sheet as it passes through the processing chamber. The apparatus is particularly suited for removing polar solvents from porous electrode coatings. A related method is also disclosed.

摘要:
An electrode layer for a polymer memory may be implanted to increase the number of defects in the material. As a result, that same material may be utilized for the upper and lower electrodes. In particular, defects may be introduced into a TiOx layer within the electrode to match the work functions of the upper and lower electrodes.
摘要:
Methods of depositing various metal layers adjacent to a ferroelectric polymer layer are disclosed. In one embodiment, a collimator may be used during a sputtering process to filter out charged particles from the material that may be deposited as a metal layer. In various embodiments, a metal layer may contain at least one of an intermetallic layer, an amorphous intermetallic layer, and an amorphized intermetallic layer.

摘要:
A vehicle suspension system including a pair of trailing arms. Each of the trailing arms has a body portion with a pivot at a forward portion thereof for pivotably mounting the trailing arms to a vehicle frame. Each trailing arm further includes a rear portion integrally formed with the body portion. Each rear portion has an integral, inwardly extending axle-attachment portion, and an integral, outwardly-extending spindle portion. The vehicle suspension system further includes an elongated center axle member having opposite ends rigidly connected to the axle-attachment portions of the trailing arms and interconnecting the trailing arms.
