Title: Mixing a powder with a flowing liquid film
Inventor: POTTER CLIVE
IPC: B01F5/02
Filed: 1998-07-15
Abstract: The powder is fed by an auger 25 from a hopper into a mixing chamber 28 where it falls onto rotating flails 29 which distribute the powder as a fine smoke and direct it towards the chamber walls 31, 33 where it can mix and react with a liquid film flowing down the walls. To form the liquid film a flow deflector and valve 45a deflect the liquid from annular inlet 44 along hemispherical wall 31 from where it can continue to flow downwardly under gravity in adherence with the surface of frusto-conical wall 33. The liquid formed as a film on the chamber walls presents a large surface area for capturing and mixing with the powder and, to enhance this effect, the chamber is shaped to cause the liquid film to thin and its surface area to increase as it flows down over the walls. The distribution of the powder in the chamber is also assisted by air flows that are drawn in through an annular passage (68, Page 3/6) that surrounds the drive shaft 27 of the flails 29.

Title: Manganese dioxide positive elektrode for rechargeable cells, and cells containing the same
Inventor: MICHALOWSKI CHRISTOPHER
IPC: H01M50/491
Filed: 1994-02-28
Abstract: This invention teaches rechargeable manganese dioxide cells having alkaline electrolytes, zinc negative electrodes and manganese dioxide positive electrodes. In keeping with the present invention, the positive electrode is essentially unconstrained-that is, no cage is used in the cell to confine the positive electrode. During discharge of a rechargeable alkaline cell, the positive electrode may be inclined to swell, and during the charge cycle it may be inclined to contract or reduce its dimensions. However, the positive electrode is dimensioned so as to substantially fill the entire space allotted for it within the cell, while allowing for a slight accommodation for height-wise or longitudinal expansion or growth in bobbin cells. The positive electrode may include additives such as carbon or graphite to increase its electrical conductivity; hydrophobic agents such as PTFE, polyethylene or polypropylene to enhance the hydrogen permeability of the positive electrode and thereby lead to increased hydrogen recombination rates; and similar hydrophobic agents as well as hydrophillic additives to serve as lubricants and to reduce tool wear during manufacturing processes. Also, the discharge capacity of the negative electrode may be established so as to be in the range of from about 60% to about 120% of the theoretical one electron discharge capacity of the positive MnO2 electrode.
