  • Patent number: 7147972
    Abstract: A composition for prolonging battery life by reducing water loss and the degradation of properties due to dendritic precipitation, is refreshingly added to a battery electrolyte. By the refreshment of the composition, battery cycle life is substantially increased while degradation of the internal battery components is substantially reduced.

  • Patent number: 6675842
    Abstract: A fluid dispensing system has a flexible bag filled with a dispensable material, a dispensing opening adjacent a receiving socket, the dispensing opening including a push valve. A dispensing coupling is removably located in the receiving socket and has an actuating end which engages the push valve to initiate flow. A flow regulator is incorporated with the dispensing conduit for controlling the flow of the material from the bag.

  • Patent number: 4897626
    Abstract: The invention provides an electromagnetic device such as a transformer which comprises one or more electrically conductive windings in a cylindrical magnetic frame. The magnetic frame defines a magnetic flux path having a length which is less than the length of the portion of the windings enclosed by the magnetic frame, and the device includes heat dissipation elements disposed about the windings and extending transversely from the windings. The magnetic frame comprises a number of toroidal core sections which are stacked end to end, so that the magnetic frame has an elongate tubular form. The heat dissipation elements are plates located between adjacent core sections.

  • Patent number: 4544004
    Abstract: A battery filler unit for automatically filling a battery container to a predetermined level consists of a vessel containing liquid to be dispensed into the battery. The vessel is supplied with liquid in a manner to maintain a constant head in the vessel. An orifice in the bottom of the vessel above a downpipe, extending in use into the top of a battery, ensures that an air seal is formed across the orifice by the action of surface tension of the dispensing liquid. As the container fills, air is trapped in the downpipe and dispensing of liquid from the vessel ceases when a pressure equilibrium is established, at which time the liquid level in the container will be at a predetermined desired level.
