Patent EP-3506403-A1 (EP)
Inventor: LIANG CHENGDU
IPC: H01M10/052
Filed: 2018-10-16
Abstract: The present application relates to a current collector, an electrode plate, a battery and usages thereof. The current collector includes at least one conductive layer configured to support an electrode active material layer, and an insulation layer configured to support the at least one conductive layer. The conductive layer has a room temperature film resistance R S  satisfying 0.01 Ω /sq  ≤  R S   ≤  0.15 Ω /sq. The current collector can significantly increase resistance in short-circuit and reduce current in the short-circuit, and reduce heat generated during the short-circuit and improving safety performance. The heat can be totally absorbed by the battery. Therefore, the resulted temperature rise of the battery is small, the damage to the battery caused by the short circuit can be limited to a "point", and only a "point break" is formed, without influencing normal operation of the battery in a short time.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a tube, first and second pairs of electrodes, a reference device, and a processor. The processor determines a speed of a fluid traveling between the first and second pairs of electrodes and determines a reference conductance of the fluid using the reference device. The processor also determines a measured conductance of the fluid using at least one of the first and second pairs of electrodes and determines, based on the reference conductance and the measured conductance, a cross-sectional area of the fluid at an electrode. The processor further adds a correction factor to the determined speed to produce a bulk speed of the fluid. The processor further determines a volumetric flow rate of the fluid based on the bulk speed and the determined area and determines a volume of the fluid based on the determined volumetric flow rate.

Inventor: KARSKI RAFAL
IPC: B27G13/04
Filed: 2018-12-21
Abstract: The method of seating a knife in a head body with replaceable carbide knives is characterised in that the knife (1) is pressed to the body (2) with the clamp (5) using at least one set screw (4) which presses onto a retaining pin (3). The retaining pin (3) is set in a manner enabling the centrifugal force acting on the clamp (5) to increase the force with which the knife (1) is pressed to the body (2). The set screw (4) is placed in the clamp (5) and screwed with a wrench routed through the tube hole (6). The retaining pin (3) is necessary only for aluminium bodies, as there is a risk that the contact place of the set screw (4) and body (2) will deform during cutter operation, which decreases the holding down force. The tube (6) also protects the cutter against disengagement in emergencies. In solutions with a protective groove in the knife or seat pocket, the tube is not required. The vertical cutter positioning (1) is achieved using the base surface of the seat pocket bottom, however, the horizontal positioning is achieved through grinding a gap (9) in the knife (1) and placing a pin (8) in the head body seat pocket.
