20100082009 | Spring-Loaded Cartridge Cap - Described is a spring-loaded cartridge cap for use in a drug infusion pump. The cap is ejected if it is not properly inserted into the pump. In one embodiment, the cap includes three detent pins that mate with detents in a cartridge chamber within the drug infusion pump. As the cap is inserted into the cartridge chamber of the drug infusion pump, the distal end of the cartridge compresses a coil spring within the cap. To secure the cap within the cartridge chamber, the cap is rotated such that each detent pin moves within a slot until a locking detent is engaged. | 04-01-2010 |

20080268333 | INTEGRAL BATTERY THERMAL MANAGEMENT - An electrochemical battery having at least one self contained thermoelectric cooling device such as a Peltier device, for cooling the battery to optimal operating conditions. The thermoelectric cooling device is contained within a housing of the battery and is in proximity to cells contained within the housing with the cooling device being electrically connected to the cells of the battery and an external electrical power source. A switching element is configured to selectively power the thermoelectric cooling device from the external electrical power source and with shut down of the external electrical power the switching element redirects power from the battery to the thermoelectric cooling device to effect continued cooling of the battery. | 10-30-2008 |
20090320277 | HIGH ENERGY CELL FUSIBLE LINK - A means and method for rendering high energy density cells safe in compliance with transportation requirements, with the incorporation of a cell fusible terminal which is added on or incorporated within the cell terminals to prevent over current and hazards from developing due to external short circuits. As a result, cells made in accordance with the method of the present invention can be shipped by common carriers even though they are classified as hazardous materials and can be readily used and normally discharged with such fusible link element thereon. The fusible terminal comprises a non conductive base element upon which is mounted a fusible link element and wherein the non-conductive or insulative base element comprises means for connection to a terminal of the cell or battery and to an external component. | 12-31-2009 |
