Abstract: A method and system for fabricating solid-state energy-storage devices including fabrication films for devices without an anneal step. A film of an energy-storage device is fabricated by depositing a first material layer to a location on a substrate. Energy is supplied directly to the material forming the film. The energy can be in the form of energized ions of a second material. Supplying energy directly to the material and/or the film being deposited assists in controlling the growth and stoichiometry of the film. The method allows for the fabrication of ultrathin films such as electrolyte films and dielectric films.

Abstract: A single ply label for use as a battery label. The invention includes a polymeric film that has an ink layer or metallized outer surface that may include applied print graphics. A cured varnish is applied as the outermost layer adapted to form a continuous protective surface over the battery. The varnish on the label edges that shrink over the rims of the battery has a geometric pattern to accommodate the greater shrinkage of the film and still provide a substantially continuous surface of varnish protectant.

Abstract: A method for producing a battery tester label is disclosed. The method includes forming an inserted tester device and a base layer, which are combined together to form the battery tester label. The resulting tester label can be applied to a battery. Also disclosed are methods for producing a plurality of battery tester labels disposed on a common releasable liner. The resulting array can be stored for subsequent application to batteries, cut into relatively long strips for rolling and storage, or immediately applied to batteries.

Abstract: A method for encasing a battery with a label containing an integral test circuit device that is thermally insulated from the battery and is activated by depressing a selected area of the label whereupon a thermally sensitive material associated with the test circuit displays whether the battery has capacity. The battery so produced with the test circuit device is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention contemplates flexible sheet material having static-dissipative properties and adaptable to wrapping or otherwise containing electronic components or the like which are to be protected against damaging exposure to an electrostatic charge. The sheet material is basically of relatively high surface resistance and is static-dissipative by reason of printed application of a matrix design, using electrically conductive ink, such that at least first and second intersecting sets of spaced plural conductive paths are established at the printed surface. The material is non-sparking by reason of the printed conductive ink being disposed between layers of relatively high surface resistance.

Abstract: The invention contemplates a washable dust-collecting multi-layer electrically conductive web or mat for safely and quickly discharging personnel-accumulated static electricity. An upper continuous polymeric layer of relatively low conductivity, in the order of 10.sup.8 ohms per square and containing a tackifying resin thoroughly dispersed therein, is bonded to an underlying continuous polymeric layer of much greater conductivity, in the order of 10.sup.2 ohms per square, and provision is made for electrically grounding the underlying layer, illustratively by casting to the intermediate layer a continuous bottom layer of expanded polymeric material of relatively low conductivity.

Abstract: The invention contemplates a multi-layer electrically conductive web for safely and quickly discharging personnel-accumulated static electricity, and suitable as an upholstery material. The web comprises an upper continuous polymeric layer of relatively low conductivity, in the order of 10.sup.8 ohms per square, bonded to an underlying continuous polymeric layer of much greater conductivity, in the order of 10.sup.2 ohms per square, and provision is made for electrically grounding the underlying layer, illustratively by casting to the intermediate layer a continuous bottom layer of expanded polymeric material of relatively low conductivity. In the preferred embodiment, a fabric base is laminated to the bottom layer of the web.
