Title: Low water level indicator
Inventor: RADKE ROBERT E
IPC: G01F23/24
Filed: 1998-09-29
Abstract: A low water level indicator includes a detection assembly and an indicator unit. The detection assembly comprises a housing, a pair of electrodes, a control unit, and a battery. The indicator unit comprises a light emitting diode (LED) and a base. The housing is preferably molded as two halves which are joined at assembly. An adjustment rod is held by a first and second snap retainer at substantially the bottom of the housing. The adjustment rod is used to adjust the height of the bottom of the housing relative to a water container. The electronic control circuit is mounted in a top cavity. A hook rod is held by a top spring clip which is disposed at substantially the top of the housing. The hook rod is used to provide stability for the placement of the detection assembly. A second embodiment of the low water level detector utilizes at least one eye loop projection and a filament means to suspend the detection assembly from a tree.      When the water level in a water container is too low, electrical current will no longer pass from the first electrode to the second electrode through the water. When current flow ceases between the first and second electrode, the LED will emit light until the water level is raised.

Patent CA-2267263-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MURRAY JOHN J
IPC: C01B31/04
Filed: 1997-10-01
Abstract: The invention disclosed is an alkali metal-ion secondary cell having a carbonaceous anode and an electrolyte, comprising an alkali metal salt dissolved in an organic electrolyte solvent. Intercalation and de-intercalation during repeated charge/discharge cycles of the secondary cell using a conventional electrolyte solvent causes continual exposure of bare surfaces of the carbonaceous material to the electrolyte, resulting in continual consumption of electrolyte in the formation of new passivation films on the bared or partially covered surfaces, adversely affecting the performance and capacity of the cell. An improvement on the conventional electrolyte involves the addition of chlorinated organic solvent to the conventional electrolyte and results in a more stable passivation film, much less consumption of electrolyte and better performance and cell capacity. In accordance with the present invention, the chlorinated organic solvent, chloroethylene carbonate, is replaced with a fluorinated organic solvent, fluoro-ethylene carbonate, capable of forming a very stable passivation film which is insoluble in the electrolyte. The cell efficiency of the secondary cell is improved substantially and high capacity retained by the replacement of the chlorinated organic solvent with fluorinated organic solvent.
