  • Anti-theft marking for copper clad steel
    Patent number: 8450612
    Abstract: A copper clad steel (CCS) wire is at least partially covered on its exterior to visibly distinguish the CCS wire from a pure/solid copper wire. A coating, such as tin, zinc or paint, covers at least portions of the CCS wire. The coating may be applied in strips, rings or a helix to identify the CCS wire as not be formed of solid copper. In the instance of a stranded CCS wire, one or more of the outer strands may be partially or entirely coated to give the overall stranded CCS wire a distinguishing outer structure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 12, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 28, 2013
    Assignee: CommScope, Inc.

  • Mercury-free zinc anode for electromechanical cell and method for making same
    Patent number: 6221530
    Abstract: An anode for use in an electrochemical cell comprises a plate of non-particulate, mercury-free zinc metal and a coating of indium metal on at least a portion of the zinc plate surface. The anode is particularly useful in a rechargeable metal-air cell. The elimination of mercury enhances the safety of the cell and the indium coating reduces gassing at the anode and corrosion of the anode. Desirably, the electrolyte in the metal air cell also includes indium hydroxide. Also, a method for making the anode using a hot-plate joining process.
