Patent number: 11870088Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for improving the rigidity or stiffness of an electronic device chassis or housing using a structural secondary battery. The structural secondary battery includes a compression skin disposed about one or more secondary storage cells. The compression skin exerts a compressive force of at least 0.5 atmospheres on the one or more secondary storage cells. A structural member is bonded to the compression skin. The structural member includes a relatively thin (e.g. 0.1 mm or less), rigid (e.g., Young's Modulus of at least 300 GPa), member, such as a sapphire crystal. The structural member may then be bonded or otherwise detachably or non-detachably affixed to an aperture formed in the electronic device chassis or housing. The bonding of the structural member to the electronic device chassis or housing beneficially improves the stiffness of the chassis or housing.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Juha Paavola, Naoki Matsumura, Mikko Makinen

Publication number: 20210043964Abstract: Li-metal battery with a pressure chamber to allow uniform pressure on a battery. The pressure chamber is supported by metal plates (such as pressure equalization plate) used to give uniform pressure to the battery. The pressure chamber may include pressured gas, elastic material, spring plate, etc. The outer skin of the pressure chamber is free to bow, restrained at its edges by (metal) skin, but still exerts a uniform pressure on the plate that is compressing the battery cell. The pressure chamber gives uniform pressure to battery, which is used to enable high-energy density battery with, for example, 20% more battery life.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Naoki Matsumura, Juha Paavola, Mikko Makinen, Vivek Paranjape, Andy Keates
