Patent number: 10396339Abstract: A bi-metal tab includes an internal tab segment that can be coupled to a battery cell terminal within an interior of the cell and an external tab segment that can be coupled to an element external to the cell. One tab segment includes a pin tab segment that comprises a pin, and another tab segment includes a socket tab segment comprised of a separate metal material, that comprises a socket. The socket can be at least partially enclosed, on at least two opposing sides, by the structure of the socket tab segment, and the socket and pin of the separate segments can be configured to couple, to form the tab, where at least two surfaces of the pin are in flush contact with the socket tab segment structure. A protection layer that restricts electronic transport across the tab based on exposure to particular physical conditions can be included between the tab segments.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2016Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Qingcheng Zeng, Donald G.

Publication number: 20190220474Abstract: A method includes determining a set of identigens for each word of at least some words of a string of words of a query to produce a plurality of sets of identigens. The method further includes interpreting, based on a first knowledge database, the plurality of sets of identigens to produce a first entigen group and generating a first preliminary query response based on the first entigen group. The method further includes interpreting, based on a second knowledge database, the plurality of sets of identigens to produce a second entigen group and generating a second preliminary query response based on the second entigen group.

Publication number: 20190220756Abstract: A method includes selecting an entigen group from a knowledge database. The entigen group is a most likely meaning of a phrase of a string of words. An entigen of the entigen group corresponds to a selected identigen from a set of identigens regarding a word of the string of words. The set of identigens represent different meanings of the word. The method further includes identifying other entigen groups of alternate phrases having the most likely meaning from the knowledge database. The alternate phrases are different permutations of the string of words. The method further includes determining a dominant digital representation of a human reaction of the other entigen groups and generating a digital representation of a human reaction for the entigen group based on the dominant digital representation of a human reaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2018Publication date: July 18, 2019Applicant: entigenlogic LLCInventors: Frank John Williams, David Ralph Lazzara, Stephen Chen, Karl Olaf Knutson, Jessy Thomas, David Michael Corns, II, Andrew Chu, Gary W.

Patent number: 10116013Abstract: A battery includes one or more protection layers, applied to one or more foil layers in the battery, which restrict electronic transport across the protection layer based on exposure to particular physical conditions. The protection layer can change from being an electrically conductive layer to being an electrically insulating layer based on the exposure. The protection layer can include a mixture of materials that change state to electrically insulating states based on exposure to various particular physical conditions. A battery can include multiple protection layers that restrict electronic transport based on exposure to different physical conditions. A protection layer applied to a foil layer that is applied to an electrode restricts electronic transport between the foil layer and the electrode based on exposure to the one or more physical conditions. A protection layer located between separate battery cells can restrict electronic transport between portions of separate battery cells.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2016Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Qingcheng Zeng, Donald G.
