20140218843 | SINTERED ARTICLE, PARTICULARLY FOR LOW ESR CAPACITOR ANODES - A sintered article in which a solid body is at least partially embedded includes an opening. The solid body extends across the opening so that the solid body can deform within the opening. The opening in the solid body prevents distortion of the sintered body from a planar configuration during sintering, even when the green body that is sintered is relatively thin. | 08-07-2014 |
20130095299 | SINTERED ARTICLE AND SINTERING METHOD, PARTICULARLY FOR LOW ESR CAPACITOR ANODES - A method of making a sintered article in which a solid object is embedded includes forming a green body of compressed particles with the solid body is partially embedded. The green body includes an opening across which the solid body extends. The green body is sintered to form a sintered body and the opening permits deformation of the solid body in response to stress applied during the sintering process.

The opening in the solid body prevents distortion of the sintered body from a planar configuration during sintering, even when the green body is relatively thin. | 04-18-2013 |
20120127632 | EXTENDED LIFE CAPACITORS - Capacitors employing liquid or gel electrolytes have their useful lifetime significantly extended by including, in the electrolyte, a binary mixture of transition metal ion species. Each species has at least two distinct oxidation states when dissolved in the electrolyte. The interaction of the mixture of ion species reduces the potential of the cathode and maintains the potential of the cathode below the hydrogen potential to prevent the reduction of hydrogen ions and the formation of hydrogen. The binary mixture of transition metal species reduces the cathode potential by oxidation of the transition metal species at the anode and reduction of the transition metal species at the cathode. Thus, the rate of decrease in capacitance, increase in equivalent series resistance, and swelling of the capacitor are suppressed. In addition, the ratio of capacitor aging to the quantity of charge passed by the capacitor is decreased by at least a factor of two as compared to previous known extended life capacitors. | 05-24-2012 |
