Robert J. Schoolcraft has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Method of electrode formation
    Patent number: 4470939
    Abstract: An electrode for an electrochemical cell is formed by blending an electrochemically active compound with a conductive material, forming the blend into a plurality of agglomerates, admixing the agglomerates with a second conductive material which may be the same as or different from the first conductive material and compressing the resulting mixture. The method is particularly useful for forming cathodes containing a mercury compound, since such cathodes have greatly enhanced abilities to immobilize free mercury during cell discharge.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 25, 1980
    Date of Patent: September 11, 1984
    Assignee: Duracell Inc.
    Inventor: Robert J. Schoolcraft
