Abstract: Embodiments provide a battery cell having a cylindrical housing with a first end and a second end opposite the first end, wherein the second end is enclosed. The battery cell also includes an electrode assembly positioned within the housing between the first end and the second end. The electrode assembly includes an anode, a cathode, and one or more separator sheets. The battery cell further includes a conductor configured to electrically couple one of the anode or the cathode to the housing. The conductor includes a first side facing the electrode assembly, a second side opposite the first side and facing the housing, and an embossed portion for improving a welding operation for welding the conductor to the housing.

Abstract: A battery cell includes a housing (14), a terminal (30) coupled to the housing (14), an electrode assembly (18) positioned within the housing (14), a conductor (38) including a first portion (74) coupled to the electrode assembly (18) and a second portion (78) coupled to the terminal (30), and one or more fuses coupled to the conductor (38) and situated at least partially between the first and second portions. The first and second portions of the conductor (38) are folded in opposite directions to form the conductor into an S-shape, and the one or more fuses are rated for interrupting current flow between the terminal (30) and the electrode assembly (18) in response to an overcurrent event.

Abstract: A heat dissipating device includes a heat sink (60), a radiator (70) and heat-transfer pipes (80). The heat sink includes a chassis (62), a plate (64) separate from the chassis and a plurality of fins (66) extending between the chassis and the plate. The radiator includes a base (72) parallel to the fins. Each heat-transfer pipe includes a heat-absorbing portion (82) thermally positioned to the chassis, a heat-releasing portion (84) thermally positioned to the plate and a heat-transfer portion (86) disposed between the heat-absorbing portion and the heat-releasing portion. The heat-transfer portion is thermally received in the base of the radiator.

Abstract: A heat dissipating device includes a heat sink and a protecting device attached to the heat sink. The heat sink includes a plurality of individual fins in assembly. The protecting device is made from plastic. The protecting device includes a lath resting on the fins, and a plurality of ribs beneath the lath. The ribs are interposed between the fins.

Abstract: An airflow-guiding device for being mounted into a computer system to periodically change airflow passing therethrough, comprises a motor, a gearing driven by the motor and a plurality of airflow-guiding plates pivoted to a frame and linked to the gearing and driven thereby to turn back and forth periodically. The gearing comprises a cam driven by the motor and a sliding board slideably mounted on a supporting member. The sliding board has a lateral side always in contact with the cam so that when the cam rotates, the sliding plate slides on the supporting member. The airflow-guiding plates each have a linking rod linked to the sliding board. The airflow-guiding plates periodically turn within a given angle following the rotation of the cam so as to change direction of airflow passing through the airflow-guiding plates.
