Abstract:
The invention relates to an assembly for storing electrical energy, including: at least four stacked complexes (1, 1';2, 2'), each including at least one electrode; at least one separator (3), the separator(s) being arranged such that a separator is arranged between each pair of adjacent complexes; two connecting terminals for electrically connecting the assembly to a voltage generator, a first sample of complexes (1') being electrically connected to or constituting the first of the two terminals, and a second sample of complexes (2') being electrically connected to or constituting the other of the two terminals, the two samples being selected such that the number of complexes belonging to the combination of the two samples is less than the total number of complexes, and that the intersection of the two samples is an empty set.
Abstract:
An example includes a capacitor case sealed to retain electrolyte, at least one anode disposed in the capacitor case, the at least one anode comprising a sintered portion disposed on a substrate, an anode conductor coupled to the substrate in electrical communication with the sintered portion, the anode conductor sealingly extending through the capacitor case to an anode terminal disposed on the exterior of the capacitor case with the anode terminal in electrical communication with the sintered portion, a cathode disposed in the capacitor case, a separator disposed between the cathode and the anode and a cathode terminal disposed on an exterior of the capacitor case and in electrical communication with the cathode, with the anode terminal and the cathode terminal electrically isolated from one another.

Abstract:
A case structure generally includes a trough shaped base section, a positive end piece, a negative end piece, and a cover section. The trough shaped base section includes a bottom and two side wall members. The positive and negative end piece are disposed at opposite ends of the base section and include an electrically conductive material at least partially embedded within a thermoplastic material. The cover section is disposed on the base section for sealing the prismatic case. The base section and the cover section can be made from, for example, a polymeric material.
Abstract:
A lead-wire locating support for a capacitor comprises a main body (22), a lead-wire hole (21) formed in the main body (22), and a protruding structure (23) formed in the lead-wire hole (21). The lead-wire can readily be inserted into the lead-wire hole (21) in one direction, and the protruding structure (23) suppresses the lead-wire from withdrawing. The main body (22) is cross-shaped, star-shaped, H-shaped or fishbone-shaped, so as to facilitate epoxy resin filling and gas exhaust during capacitor production.
Abstract:
An electrical unit (1) comprising: a housing (2); a first electrical component (15) contained within the housing and mounted thereto or supported thereby, the first electrical component having at least one conductive contact pin (17) having a substantially constant cross-section at least along a connection region of the contact pin; a circuit board (11) mounted to be supported by the housing, having an aperture (18) therethrough and being provided with a contact arrangement having at least one contact surface, the arrangement being such that the contact pin (17) may pass through the aperture in the circuit board so that the connection region thereof is received and retained by the contact arrangement, such that the contact surface exerts a contact force on the contact pin, retaining the contact pin in conductive communication with the circuit board.
Abstract:
A power storage device has a stack (6) including positive electrodes (13) and negative electrodes (12) that are stacked on top of each other with electrolytes (14) interposed in-between. A positioning member (16) is inserted into a positioning hole (6a) that is formed in the stack (6) so as to penetrate the stack (6) in the stacking direction. A terminal portion (16a; 16b) is formed at an end of the positioning member (16) in the inserting direction.
