Publication number: 20230299382Abstract: A battery cell that includes a plurality of anodes and a plurality of cathodes is provided. The battery cell has a pouch laminate disposed over the plurality of anodes and the plurality of cathodes along with a temperature control mechanism centrally located within the pouch laminate. The temperature control mechanism is disposed between anodes of the plurality of anodes and cathodes of the plurality of cathodes such that the temperature control mechanism is centrally located within battery cell. The temperature control mechanism can regulate a temperature of the battery cell while also regulate an amount of pressure applied to the plurality of anodes and cathodes.

Patent number: 9815238Abstract: A system and method for extruding film with a thickened profile section. In some embodiments, the film forms bags with integral zipper profiles. Plastic film is extruded to form a tube. During extrusion, cooling jets direct cooling gases toward the thickened profile section below the frost line to preferentially cool the thickened profile sections. In some embodiments, warm air is drawn out of the tube interior through hot air intakes located below the frost line. In certain embodiments, the film is extruded at a higher rate of speed than conventional processes. Likewise, the extruded film tube is expanded at a lower blow up ratio than conventional processes in certain preferred embodiments. In some embodiments, the extrusion system includes an air flow surface oriented relative to the film tube to define an air flow gap of substantially uniform thickness.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: Inteplast Group CorporationInventors: Roy Kosub, Alan Mosley, Garth Bielke, Jacob Arriaga, Jon Wagner
