Patent number: 12003123Abstract: Systems and related methods for supplying power to a medical device employ serially-connectable portable batteries. A method of supplying electrical power to a medical device includes discharging a first external battery to output electrical power to a second external battery. Distribution of the electrical power received by the second external battery is controlled to simultaneously charge the second external battery and output electrical power from the second external battery to supply electrical power to the medical device.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2022Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: TC1 LLCInventors: Brian Kimball, Joseph C. Stark, III, Peter Thatcher, John Freddy Hansen, Peter Andriola, Carine Hoarau, Jaime Arturo Romero, Jesse Gage

Patent number: 11183724Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an electrochemical cell connector for electrically connecting a plurality of electrochemical cells, and to battery packs including the electrochemical cell connector. The electrochemical cell connectors of the present disclosure are fabricated from a flexible circuit. The flexible circuit includes conductors, such as nickel conductors, soldered or otherwise attached thereto via holes or openings in the flexible circuit. These conductors may be welded or otherwise attached to an electrochemical cell, and the electrochemical cell connections made on the flexible circuit. In many embodiments, the conductors may be attached to the flexible circuit using industry standard automated assembly equipment thus streamlining the manufacturing process and improving overall quality of the product.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: TC1 LLCInventors: Dustin Roelle, Jesse Gage, Gregory Ray, Ethan Petersen, Jaime Romero

Patent number: 10722633Abstract: Systems and related methods for supplying power to a medical device employ self-charging serially-connectable portable batteries. A system includes a base module and external battery modules. The base module is operatively coupled with the medical device and includes a base module input connector. Each of the external battery modules includes one or more battery cells, an output connector, an input connector, and a controller. The output connector is configured to output electrical power from the external battery module. The input connector is configured to receive electrical power from another of the plurality of external battery modules. The controller is operatively coupled with the one or more battery cells, the output connector, and the input connector. The controller is configured to control distribution of electrical power received via the input connector to charge the one or more battery cells and/or to be output via the output connector.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: TC1 LLCInventors: Brian Kimball, Joseph C.
