Publication number: 20180114977Abstract: Disclosed are electrochemical devices and methods for making electrochemical devices such as metal infiltrated electrodes for solid state lithium ion and lithium metal batteries. In one method for forming an electrode, a metal is infiltrated into the pore space of the active material of the electrode providing improved electronic conductivity to the electrode. The electrode may also include a solid-state ion conducting material providing improved ion conductivity to the electrode. Before infiltration of the metal, a stabilization coating may be applied to the active material and/or the solid-state ion conducting material to the stabilize electrode interfaces by slowing, but not eliminating, the chemical reactions that occur at elevated temperatures during sintering of the active material and/or the solid-state ion conducting material forming the electrode.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2017Publication date: April 26, 2018Inventors: Jeffrey Sakamoto, Travis Thompson, Nathan Taylor

Publication number: 20180102571Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for forming solid-state electrolytes, electrodes, current collectors, and/or conductive additives used in solid-state batteries. In one version, the method includes depositing a stabilization coating on a powdered electrolyte material, or a powdered electrode material, or a powdered conductive additive material and forming a slurry comprising the coated material. The slurry is then cast on a surface to form a layer, and the layer is sintered to form a solid state electrolyte, or an electrode, or an electrode having the conductive additive.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2017Publication date: April 12, 2018Inventors: Jeffrey Sakamoto, Travis Thompson, Nathan Taylor

Publication number: 20170328561Abstract: A fuel-fired furnace incorporates specially designed fuel/air mixing and combustion structures. The fuel/air mixing structure is of a mixing sound-attenuating design and comprises a venturi having a perforated sidewall portion and being surrounded by a noise-damping housing chamber communicating with the interior of the venturi via its sidewall perforations. During use of the mixing structure, air is flowed through the venturi in a swirling pattern while fuel is transversely injected internally against the swirling air. The combustion structure comprises a burner box housing into which the fuel/air mixture is flowed, combusted, and then discharged as hot combustion gas into and through the heat exchanger tubes. The fuel/air mixture entering the burner box housing initially passes through a non-uniformly perforated diffuser plate functioning to substantially alter in a predetermined manner the relative combustion gas flow rates through the heat exchanger tubes.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2017Publication date: November 16, 2017Inventors: Amin Akbarimonfared, Timothy J. Shellenberger, Robert Steven Neihouse, Scott Alan Willbanks, Darryl Farley, Nathan Taylor Whalen, Shawn Allan Reed

Publication number: 20170246542Abstract: A method to provide additional gaming network functionality links a user's gaming network identity with the user's social network identity. Linkage of the user's gaming network and social network identities establishes a two way communication link by which a gaming (social) network service can obtain information from, and send information to, a social (gaming) network service on behalf of the user. The gaming (social) network service may obtain information regarding the social (gaming) network relationships of the user's social (gaming) network identity and suggest gaming (social) network relationships to the user based on the social (gaming) network relationships. The gaming (social) network service additionally enables a user having linked identities to post gaming (social) network related messages as social (gaming) network messages via their social (gaming) network identity.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2017Publication date: August 31, 2017Inventors: Nathan Taylor, Jeff Watkins, Erik Strahm, Greg Hogan

Patent number: 9130820Abstract: An application framework including different application programming interfaces (APIs) is described which performs a variety of mobile device functions in response to API calls from applications. For example, in response to relatively simple API calls made by applications the application framework manages the complex tasks associated with invitations and matchmaking. By way of example, the details of complex transactions such as establishing peer-to-peer connections between mobile devices may be transparent to the application developer, thereby simplifying the application design process. The application framework may include an application daemon for communicating with a first set of services and an applications services module for communicating with a separate set of services. The application framework may also include a cache for caching data for each of the services based on different cache management policies driven by each of the services.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2013Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Mike Lampell, Nathan Taylor, Christina Elizabeth Warren, Francois-Yves Bertrand, Gabriel Belinsky, Alan Dale Berfield

Publication number: 20050134115Abstract: Methods and systems may provide theft protection in one or more work machines. Methods and systems may control one or more operational systems and may provide and manage varying levels of access to work machines. Methods and systems may react to override attempts in order to provide robust theft protection. One or more control modules embedded in a work machine may be leveraged to perform theft protection services. Methods and systems may activate a first control module to restrict access to a first operational system in a work machine and activate a second control module to restrict access to a second operational system in the work machine. The first control module may detect a substitution of a new control module for the second control module and automatically configure the new control module to restrict access to the second operational system in the work machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2003Publication date: June 23, 2005Inventors: Edward Betts, Timothy Booth, Roy Fonseca, Mark Hilbert, Daniel Swords, Nathan Taylor, David Zwetz
