Patent EP-1149437-A1 (EP)
Inventor: FAWCETT MICHAEL J
IPC: H01R13/703
Filed: 2000-02-04
Abstract: A connector for interconnecting or mutually isolating two circuits one of which is connected to a first connector element (1) and the other of which is connected to a second connector element (2) which is interengageable with the first. One of the connector elements supports a first contact (12) connected to a respective circuit and a displaceable contact holder (4) carrying interconnected second (14) and third (15) contacts. The contact holder is displaceable between a first position in which the first (12) and second (14) contacts are separated and a second position in which the first and second contacts are interconnected. The connector elements are formed such that on interengagement the contact holder is displaced from the first to the second position after the third contact is interconnected with a contact (34) of the other connector element (2). The arrangement is such that on disengagement of the connector elements (1, 2) the contact holder is displaced from the second to the first position. The contacts are arranged such that on disengagement the first and second contacts separate before the third contact is separated from the other connector element and such that when separated the first and second contacts are located within a closed chamber defined within the connector element in which the contact holder is supported.

Abstract: A metal-air fuel cell battery (FCB) system having an electrolyte, and a movable anode having anode material deposited on two sides of an electrically conductive substrate, which can be either a rotating anode disk, or a linearly-movable anode, sandwiched between two air electrodes, wherein the air electrodes each have at least one recharging portion and at least one discharging portion. The recharging portion of the air electrode is designed for optimum recharging and the discharging portion of the air electrode is designed for optimum discharging such that the fuel cell battery performs to its maximum ability. The recharging air electrode area can be larger than the discharging air electrode area for faster recharge times. The recharging air electrode can be operated at lower current densities to prevent anode densification, anode shape change and dendrite growth. Discharging the anode material on both sides of the anode increases the depth of the discharge and increases the battery's capacity. The anode movement assures the anode is intermittently discharged to reduce passivation and further increases the depth of discharge. The motion of the anode helps to insure uniform replating during recharging. Futher, the movement of the anode stirs the electrolyte assuring a uniform distribution of metal ions. As a result, the invention provides a metal-air FCB system having high energy density, high power density and good rechargeability characteristics.

Abstract: A device for preparing plastic material, in particular, thermoplastic material, comprises a receptacle (1) for the material, in which rotating tools (21) are provided to act onto the material which are supported by a support disc (9) and rotate about a vertical axis (8) of the receptacle (1). Driving of the support disc (9) is effected by a shaft (4) which passes through the bottom (3) of the receptacle (1) and is driven by a motor (5). The material is discharged from the receptacle (1) through a discharge opening (15) to which the housing (16) of a screw (17) is attached. The discharge opening (15) is provided within the same receptacle (1) and is situated below the path of rotation of the tools (21) and below the support disc (9). Additional moving tools (12) are provided within the same receptacle (1) below the support disc (9) which convey the material into the discharge opening (15). In this way a long dwelling time of the treated plastic material within the receptacle (1) is achieved so that constructive length and driving energy for the screw (17) are economized.A method for preparing such plastic material provides that the material is continuously treated within the same receptacle in two successive steps by meows of two sets of tools arranged one above the other. In the first step carried out by the upper set of tools, the material is pre-comminuted and/or pre-heated and/or pre-dried and/or pre-mixed. In the second step carried out by the lower set of tools, the same treatment is effected, but less intensively as compared with the first step. The material thus treated is supplied by the tools of the second step to a screw which discharges the material from the receptacle.
