摘要: A cell-array battery is disclosed having end-of-life cells that can be activated at the end of a battery's life to, illustratively, neutralize the toxic chemicals inside the battery. In one embodiment, neutralization of the electrolyte in the battery is achieved through immobilization of the electrolyte at the end of the life of the battery by, for example, a vitrification process. Using electrowetting techniques, the electrolyte is made to contact a neutralizing substance between the nanostructures in one or more end-of-life cells, thus causing a reaction that results in the electrolyte becoming immobilized by, for example, a polymer substance. In a second illustrative embodiment, when the electrolyte contacts the substance between the nanostructures in one or more end-of-life cells, the chemical composition of the electrolyte is changed into a less toxic chemical compound, thus neutralizing the electrolyte.

摘要: A mechanical switch includes a pair of conducting contacts, metal located on and between the conducting contacts, a heater, and an electro-mechanical actuator. The heater is operable to apply heat that melts the metal. The electro-mechanical actuator is capable of moving one or both of the conducting contacts in a manner that causes the metal to either start physically bridging the conducting contacts or to stop physically bridging the conducting contacts.

摘要: A lead-acid battery according to the invention contains an electrode grid structure that comprises dispersoid-containing lead having relatively high strength and good corrosion resistance. The dispersoid particles exemplarily are selected from the oxides, nitrides and carbides that are substantially insoluble in lead and in sulfuric acid of concentration suitable for use in a lead-acid battery. Significantly, the dispersoid-containing lead has average grain size of at least 20 .mu.m. In consequence of the relatively large grain size, the total length of grain boundaries exposed to electrolyte is relatively small, and corrosion resistance is improved. Exemplary techniques for forming the dispersoid-containing lead are disclosed.
