Patent number: 7858235Abstract: The invention relates to an additive to the active mass of a zinc anode for an alkaline secondary electrochemical generator. Said additive contains conductive ceramic powder, preferably titanium nitride particles which is exposed to an oxidation pre-treatment prior to the incorporation thereof into the active mass of the anode. Said ceramic powder is used as electronic conduction in the anode active mass and as zincates retention which are produced by generator discharge. In order to use said retentive capacity, the powder is exposed to an oxidation pre-treatment, whereby making it possible to form the binding sites on the surface of ceramic grains. The inventive additive makes it possible, starting from the first cycles of the electrode formation, to form uniform zinc deposits, thereby increasing the service life for the cycling of the zinc anode.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2009Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: S.C.P.S.

Patent number: 7835945Abstract: A part location system is described that utilizes computer-based techniques for bringing together repair facilities and suppliers to increase the efficiency of locating recycled, used or aftermarket parts using a computer network, such as the Internet. The part location system receives an electronic estimate from one of the repair facilities, parses the estimate to extract pertinent information regarding parts needed in the repair process, and automatically generates an RFQ using the pertinent information extracted from the estimate. The part location system communicates the RFQ to a number of suppliers. The part location system electronically receives quotes from the suppliers and presents the quotes to the repair facility, which determines whether to accept any of the quotes. The part location system maintains an audit log, which may be used to track the effort used to obtain recycled or aftermarket products.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2004Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: P.S.
