20110236772 | MANUFACTURING METHODS FOR AIR ELECTRODE - A method of forming an air electrode of a metal-air battery includes forming a plurality of layers of the air electrode. The plurality of layers include an active layer and a gas diffusion layer. Forming the active layer includes forming a plurality of blank portions in a sublayer of the active layer for venting gases to the gas diffusion layer. | 09-29-2011 |
20110236798 | MANUFACTURING METHODS FOR AIR ELECTRODE - A method of forming an air electrode of a metal-air battery includes forming at least a portion of the air electrode using a process selected from the group consisting of screen printing, spray printing, spin coating, and dip coating. | 09-29-2011 |
20110236799 | MANUFACTURING METHODS FOR AIR ELECTRODE - Methods of forming an air electrode of a metal-air battery are provided. One method includes forming a plurality of layers of the air electrode. The plurality of layers include an active layer and a gas diffusion layer. Forming at least one of the active layer or the gas diffusion layer includes forming a first sublayer having a first concentration of a first material and forming a second sublayer having at least one of a second concentration of the first material that differs from the first concentration or a second material that differs from the first material. In another embodiment, a method includes forming a layer of an air electrode such that a gradient of a material is formed in at least a portion of the layer by varying a concentration of the material deposited between a first portion of the layer and a second portion of the layer. | 09-29-2011 |
20140102435 | Oxygen Activated Portable Heater With Electrolyte Pad - An oxygen based heater including a heater substrate and a pad impregnated with an electrolyte solution disposed adjacent to the heater substrate which transfers electrolyte to the heater substrate. Methods of manufacturing same in an oxygen containing environment in which electrolyte is impregnated onto pad which is adjacent heater substrate. | 04-17-2014 |
20140109889 | Oxygen Activated Heater With Thermal Regulator - An oxygen based heater including a substrate that produces heat in the presence of oxygen at a maximum temperature a thermal regulator material, preferably having a melting point lower than the maximum temperature, wherein a maximum temperature of the heater is approximately the same as the maximum temperature of the thermal regulation layer. | 04-24-2014 |
20140109890 | Electrolyte Formulations For Oxygen Activated Portable Heater - An oxygen based heater and various electrolyte solution formulations for same wherein the boiling point and/or relative humidity of the electrolyte solution are used as a determining basis for using that electrolyte solution in the heater. | 04-24-2014 |
20150257917 | THERMOFORMABLE SPLINT STRUCTURE WITH INTEGRALLY ASSOCIATED OXYGEN ACTIVATED HEATER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME - An integrated thermoformable splint and heater and method for manufacturing same includes a thermoplastic material and an oxygen activated heater operatively associated with the thermoplastic material. The integrated thermoformable splint and heater are sealed within an oxygen impermeable housing. Oxygen is allowed to activate the heater either by removing the assembly from the sealed housing, or, by displacement of a removable seal that will allow oxygen to penetrate a porous region in the housing, and, in turn, come into contact with the heater. | 09-17-2015 |
20150257918 | THERMOFORMABLE MEDICAL MEMBER WITH HEATER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME - A thermoformable medical member and heater and method for manufacturing same. A thermoplastic material is converted from a relatively rigid state to a formable state over a narrow temperature range, and, which reverts back to a clinically rigid state within a relatively short period of time, and, which remains in that state even at elevated ambient temperatures. | 09-17-2015 |
