Abstract: A multi-dimensional solution directed to a system and associated apparatus for 3-dimensional imaging system (3DIS) incorporating unique facets to adjust relative orientation and nominal focus between the primary components of the 3DIS that relies on rectification algorithms to construct 3-dimensional point clouds. The device includes a camera, camera lens assembly, projector, an auxiliary fine adjustment device for the projector, focus mount plate, mirror mount, and mirror.

Abstract: A method of connecting a generally flat battery lead to at least one flat current collector of a polymer battery, comprising the steps of: bending a generally planar lead about at least one generally planar current collector tab to form a layered area, wherein at least one planar tab is disposed between planar portions of the lead with the lead wrapped around one edge of at least one tab; clamping the layered area between two weld fixtures of an ultrasonic welder; and vibrating the weld fixtures to ultrasonically weld together the battery lead and at least one current collector tab.

Abstract: A Li-ion or Li-ion polymer battery, comprised of a battery assembly having a plurality of generally planar cathode sections, each having a flat, metallic cathode current collector tab extending therefrom. A cathode tab weldment joins the cathode current collector tabs together with a cathode battery lead, and an anode tab weldment joins the anode current collector tabs together with an anode battery lead. A battery package contains the battery assembly with the anode tab weldment and the cathode tab weldment within the package and the anode and cathode battery leads extend through the package. A protective insert within the battery package surrounds the anode and cathode tab weldments and isolates the weldments from the battery package. The insert surrounds the battery leads where the battery leads extend through the package.
