Publication number: 20240044077Abstract: The present invention relates to a screen cylinder that is particularly suitable for screening, filtering, fractionating, or sorting cellulose pulp or fibre suspensions of the pulp and paper industry or other similar suspensions. The present invention relates more particularly to screening devices, which are usually cylindrical though also conical shapes are known. Such screening devices have basically two optional constructions. A first one comprises a plurality of screen wires positioned substantially axially and at a small spacing parallel to each other. The plurality of screen wires forms a screening surface facing the pulp or fibre suspension to be screened and adjacent wires form screening openings therebetween allowing an accept portion of the pulp or fibre suspension to flow therethrough. The second construction comprises a drilled or slotted sheet metal plate bent to a circular, or in broader terms, rotationally symmetrical shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: AIKAWA FIBER TECHNOLOGIES OYInventors: Benoit MARTINEAU, Israel PAQUETTE, Christophe Roger HAYART, Robert William GOODING

Patent number: 11133562Abstract: The invention relates to integrated electrode separators (IES), and their use in lithium ion batteries as replacements for free standing separators. The IES results from coating an electrode with a fluoropolymer aqueous-based emulsion or suspension, and drying the coating to produce a tough, porous separator layer on the electrodes. The aqueous fluoropolymer coating may optionally contain dispersed inorganic particles and other additives to improve electrode performance such as higher ionic conduction or higher temperature use. The IES provides several advantages, including a thinner, more uniform separator layer, and the elimination of a separate battery component (separator membrane) for a simpler and cost-saving manufacturing process. The aqueous separator coating can be used in combination with a solvent cast electrode as well as an aqueous cast electrode either in two separate process steps, or in a one-step process.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2013Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Arkema Inc.Inventors: John Schmidhauser, Scott R. Gaboury, Ramin Amin-Sanayei, Christophe Roger, Wensheng He, Rosemary Heinze

Patent number: 10119677Abstract: The invention proposes a lighting device for a motor vehicle. Such a device includes one or more electronic circuits incorporating electronic components sensitive to an electrostatic discharge. Thanks to the features of the invention, the components are protected by encouraging the controlled flow to ground of any electrostatic discharges. All portions of one or more electronic circuits can therefore be protected by preventing random electrostatic discharges liable to destroy or to degrade sensitive electronic components.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2017Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: VALEO VISIONInventors: Christophe Roger, Jerome Jobard, Pierre Placais

Patent number: 10091945Abstract: A device for spraying bulk or piecemeal products includes a casing with a rotary spraying organ and a lateral ejection opening prolonged by a spout. The rotary organ includes radial vanes designed to form a material jet directed along the axis of the spout, with generation of a carrier air stream. The ejection opening is provided with a bounding rim disposed on that side of the opening which is last to be reached by the outer peripheral ends of the vanes in the course of their rotation during operational functioning of the device. The spraying device also includes an active and mobile organ, designed for directing the products that come into contact with it through the opening, into the spout and substantially into the jet of ejected material. The active and mobile organ is disposed in the region of the rim.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Kuhn-Audureau SAInventors: Charly Garnier, Christophe Roger
