Patents by Inventor Craig M. Downie

Craig M. Downie has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11063297
    Abstract: An electrolyte, an electrochemical cell including the electrolyte, and a battery including the electrochemical cell are disclosed. Exemplary electrolytes allow for electrochemical cells and batteries with relatively high efficiency and stability that can be charged to relatively high voltages.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 19, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 13, 2021
    Assignee: Viking Power Systems Pte, Ltd.
    Inventors: Jocelyn M. Newhouse, Robert Ellis Doe, Craig M. Downie, Robert E. Jilek, Matthew J. Trahan
  • Patent number: 10608234
    Abstract: A multi-electrode device that includes an anode electrode, a cathode electrode, and a gate electrode situated between the anode and cathode, and having an electrolyte. The multi-electrode device can be a secondary (rechargeable) electrochemical cell. The gate electrode is permeable to at least one mobile species which is redox-active at at least one of the anode and cathode. The gate electrode has a resistance that is lower than that of a conductive non-uniform morphological feature that could be grown on the anode. The gate electrode provides the ability to avoid, recognize, and remove the presence of such non-uniform morphological features, and provides an electrical electrode that can be used to remove such non-uniform morphological features.
    Type: Grant
