Filed:

Jul 9, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/833711

Inventors:

Timothy W. Ellis - Dallas TX, US
Matthew Burr - Irving TX, US
Elton Jones - Heath TX, US

Assignee:

RSR Technologies, Inc. - Dallas TX

International Classification:

C25B 9/02
C25B 11/02
C25B 11/04
C25B 11/16

US Classification:

204288, 2042861, 20429701, 204281

Abstract:

An electrochemical anode is formed using friction stir welded (FSW) joints. A FSW joint may be formed between the bus bar and anode sheet or the lead encapsulation and anode sheet. The FSW joints may also comprise fillet and butt joints. FSW joints may also be utilized to seal the ends of the electrochemical anodes to prevent corrosion.

Assignee:

RSR Technologies, Inc. - Dallas TX

International Classification:

B23P 19/04

US Classification:

29746, 204291, 20429001, 204280, 205205, 205206, 205208, 205210, 205212, 205213, 205214, 205217, 205219

Abstract:

An electrode is formed using a sanding mechanism to condition the surface of the electrode for electrochemical purposes. Hazardous particles emitted during sanding are captured using jetted liquid, and may be recycled for later use. The sanded surface provides increased electrode lifespan and lead oxide adherence.

Inventors:

Timothy W. Ellis - Dallas TX, US

Assignee:

RSR Technologies, Inc. - Dallas TX

International Classification:

B03D 1/02
B03D 1/004

US Classification:

209167, 209166

Abstract:

Materials in battery and electrochemical cells are separated in a form suitable for recycling by employing froth flotation techniques. Bulk materials, such as casings, are removed from converted battery scrap and the resultant pulp is subjected to froth flotation. Froth flotation agents, including frothers, collectors and/or depressants, are used to manipulate the hydrophilic and hydrophobic nature of the materials in the scrap. Hydrophobic materials are entrained in the air bubbles of the froth and float out of the froth flotation vessel while those that are hydrophilic remain in the vessel, thereby separating battery grid materials without resort to pyrometallurgical, energy intensive or other environmentally undesirable processes.

Appl. No.:

6/526851

Inventors:

Robert M. Dix - Dallas TX
Timothy A. Ellis - Plano TX
Gary W. Andrews - Dallas TX

Assignee:

Texas Instruments Incorporated - Dallas TX

International Classification:

F25B 900

US Classification:

62 6

Abstract:

An improved cryogenic refrigerator having a drive mechanism suitable for use with gap or clearance seals is disclosed. The drive mechanism includes two reciprocating members, e. g. piston and regenerator/displacer, driven by a common rotating drive shaft. The regenerator/displacer portion of the drive shaft includes a roller at one end in engagement with a rod base plate for driving a rod connected to the regenerator/displacer and a spring for returning the regenerator/displacer simultaneously with the withdrawal of the drive shaft. The piston portion of the drive shaft is connected to a first end of a hollow body. The second end of the hollow body which is opposite the first end has the piston rigidly affixed thereto. The hollow body has a portion adjacent the first end supported by a guide whereby the piston is substantially isolated from side force loads during reciprocation.
