Publication number: 20110027653Abstract: Capacitor pastes for flooded deep discharge lead-acid batteries include lead oxide, a carbon additive, and an aqueous acid. The capacitor paste contains lead and carbon in a lead to carbon mass ratio of about 5:1 to 82:1. Hybrid negative plates for flooded deep discharge lead-acid batteries can be made using such pastes in combination with traditional pastes. The hybrid negative plates include a capacitor paste on a bottom portion of the plate, and a traditional paste on the remainder of the plate. Batteries using the capacitor paste and hybrid plates exhibit improved performance over batteries with conventional plates and pastes and require less overcharge to prevent electrolyte stratification.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2009Publication date: February 3, 2011Inventors: Marvin C. Ho, Gordon C. Beckley, Colin Smith, Charles E. Snyder

Patent number: 7771787Abstract: Particles having a non-uniform property, such as non-uniform charge, can be used to form complex yet controlled particle assemblies. In one method of fabrication, particles are located on a substrate, and a surface treatment applied to the exposed portion of the particle surface. The surface treatment modifies the particle properties within the exposed portion. One or more lithographed regions are not exposed to the surface treatment, providing spatial selectivity in inter-particle bonding after the particles are removed from the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2005Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: The Penn State Research FoundationInventors: Darrell Velegol, Jason D. Feick, Allison M. Yake, Charles E. Snyder

Patent number: 5895579Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the fluid flow through a waste fluid inlet channel, such as for a sewage treatment plant, includes a weir that may be inserted into the channel. The weir may be one or more plates that serve to reduce the effective cross section of the channel. The plates may be shaped so that the channel is more restricted at greater depths, or may be combined to form such other shape, in order to provide desirable flow patterns. Plates may be added, removed, or exchanged with different sized plates, to accommodate a range of fluid volume at a desired flow rate. The plates may combine with a bar rack, and will not interfere with the cleaning thereof. The plates may be positioned to allow grit to flow through without impediment.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1998Date of Patent: April 20, 1999Inventors: Charles M. Schloss, Charles E. Snyder

Patent number: 4385100Abstract: Terminal structure is disclosed for use in electrolytic devices such as batteries, in which a deformable, electrically conductive material (14) is caused to seal around an opening (26) in a container (10, 12) of resilient material by means of a fastener (24, 30) which extends through the opening into the electrically conductive material and a wedging element such as a chamfered surface (34) associated with the fastener which compresses the resilient material surrounding the opening. A method of assembling such a terminal structure is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1982Date of Patent: May 24, 1983Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: John W. Hooke, Charles E.
