Title: Conductive structure for an electrode assembly of a lithium secondary battery
Inventor: WU DONALD P H
IPC: H01M50/538
Filed: 2006-07-10
Abstract: An electrode assembly of a lithium secondary battery is specially designed such that the positive and negative layers are formed at a side thereof with a large uncoated negative lead area and a large uncoated positive lead area. In addition, the collecting area is located correspondingly to the negative lead area or the positive lead area. And then the clasping assemblies are fixed outside the positive lead area or the negative lead area. In this way, the two pressing pieces are firmly pressed against the positive lead area or the negative lead area. On the one hand, the respective layers of the positive lead area or the negative lead area are pressed closely against one another, and on the other hand, the innermost layer of the positive lead area or the negative lead area is allowed to be maintained in a tight electrical contact with the collecting area.

Patent CA-2553842-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MC COMBS DANIEL
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2005-01-24
Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for providing a patient-mounted navigational sensor (100) for use in computer-aided surgery are disclosed. A navigational sensor according to embodiments of the invention includes at least two optical tracking cameras for sensing surgical references and a mount adapted to be attached to the bone of a patient. Because the sensor is mounted to the bone rather than to external apparatus, and is thus closer to the surgical references that it is tracking, it is less likely that line of sight issues due to an acute angle between the plane of the surgical reference and the sensor or due to medical personnel obstructing the path of the reference's signal. Because the navigational sensor is much closer to the surgical references being tracked than in a typical computer-aid surgery scenario, the required camera separation is greatly reduced. Other advantages also accrue from such sensor positioning, as related more fully in this document.

As the water passes through the filter media, the dissolved solvents fallout of the groundwater and attach themselves to the Styrofoam (tm) media. An automated back flushing and clarifying process is also provided using a back flush port and a clarification port, a higher level water sensor in the aeration tower and a programmable logic controller. The controller opens and closes the back flush and clarification port depending on the settings within the resident software, the controller interfaces with a remote computer to remotely operate the back flushing, clarification and filtering of the groundwater. The controller receives signals from the sensor to determine emergency back flushing requirements. The controller operates at a minimum one, and maximum five oxidation filtration systems at one time.
