International Classification:

H01M 6/18

US Classification:

429313, 429317, 429306, 528 31, 524861, 5253265

Abstract:

New polymer electrolytes were prepared by in situ cross-linking of allyl functional polymers based on hydrosilation reaction using a multifunctional silane cross-linker and an organoplatinum catalyst. The new cross-linked electrolytes are insoluble in organic solvent and show much better mechanical strength. In addition, the processability of the polymer electrolyte is maintained since the casting is finished well before the gel formation.

International Classification:

H05K 900

US Classification:

307147

Abstract:

A power management system for providing power to a main system, such as a telecommunications device, includes a number of modules that are joined by module-to-module interfaces that achieve a common EMC containment barrier. In one embodiment, a battery module defines a first EMC compartment that houses one or more backup batteries, a battery management module defines a second EMC compartment that includes circuitry such as recharging circuitry, and a power entry module includes a third EMC compartment. The power entry module has an input/output connection to the battery management module and has an AC input. An output cable extends from the power entry module to the main system. Compliant metallic module-to-module gaskets preserve EMC integrity at cable pass-throughs from the battery management module to the battery and power entry modules. The modules are mounted to a system housing in a manner that secures the modules in a desired relationship.
