  • Publication number: 20240079728
    Abstract: A system for encapsulating electrodes for a battery includes lower path rollers, a conveyor frame, conveyor drives, a continuous track, and a heat press. The lower path rollers are operable to guide a first web of separator material along a lower web path. The conveyor frame supports the lower path rollers. The conveyor drives are supported on the conveyor frame. The continuous track is driven by the conveyor drives and is positioned beneath the lower web path. The continuous track includes conveyor magnets embedded within pallets. The magnets are operable to secure electrode material against the first web. The heat press is positioned above the continuous track and includes a heated surface configured to heat and press a second web of separator material against the first web to encapsulate at least a portion of the electrode material within the first web and the second web.

  • Patent number: 11911721
    Abstract: A fuel filtration system and methods controlling, and operating a fuel filtration system. A first fuel filter head is fluidly coupled to one or more first fuel filters, a second fuel filter head is fluidly coupled to one or more second fuel filters and a selector valve is coupled to the first fuel filter head and the second fuel filter head. The selector valve includes a primary valve inlet port, a primary valve outlet port, and a movable valve body movable from a first position to a second position. The first position fluidly couples the first fuel filter head to the primary valve outlet port and fluidly decouples the second fuel filter head from the primary valve outlet port. The second position fluidly couples the second fuel filter head to the primary valve outlet port and fluidly decouples the first fuel filter head from the primary valve outlet port.
