Publication number: 20180173776Abstract: In one embodiment, a mapping of a source element from source data to a destination element in the view is detected. The method analyzes a first path of the source element and a second path for a parent element to the destination element to determine whether the mapping should use an absolute path or a relative path. When the relative path should be used, the relative path is stored to map the destination element to the source element. When the absolute path should be used, the absolute path is stored to map the destination field to the source element. Then, the method generates a document that maps the source element in the source format to destination data in the destination format, the source element being retrieved from the source data using the relative path or the absolute path.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2016Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventor: David Hock

Patent number: 8470469Abstract: A gasket is for use in a starved electrolyte bipolar battery. The gasket may be made from a hydrophobic material in the shape of a frame to prevent the creation of an electrolyte path between adjacent cells when mounted in a battery. The frame may be designed to at least partially encompass a biplate when mounted in a bipolar battery, and include a device or way to permit gas passage through the gasket. The gasket may be made from a material with deformable properties to provide a sealing to a biplate and/or endplate when mounted in a bipolar battery, whereby an outer pressure tight seal of the battery may be obtained. A starved bipolar battery and a method for manufacturing a starved bipolar battery are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2008Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Nilar International ABInventors: Neil H. Puester, David Hock, Lars Fredriksson

Patent number: 8460402Abstract: A gasket for a bipolar battery comprises a structural part in the shape of a frame having an upper surface and a lower surface, and at least one channel to permit gas passage through the gasket. The structural part may be made from a first material having hydrophobic properties. The gasket further comprises at least a first sealing surface arranged in a closed loop projecting from the upper surface, and at least a second sealing surface arranged in a closed loop projecting from the lower surface. The first and the second sealing surfaces are provided on at least one sealing part, are made from a second material, and the first material of the structural part has a higher elastic modulus than an elastic modulus of the second material of the sealing parts. A bipolar battery and a method for manufacturing a gasket are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2012Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Nilar International ABInventors: David Hock, Lars Fredriksson, Neil H.

Publication number: 20120318832Abstract: A water bottle has a hook-shaped design that allows a user to easily slide it into a waistband or into a pocket without requiring extra hardware to attach it. The hook of the bottle rests on the waistband and the lower portion water bottle stays put, tucked inside the user's waistband while the person is in motion. A runner, for example, can run efficiently while carrying the water bottle, allowing them to utilize something they are already wearing—their waistband. The contoured shape of the bottle allows the runner or active individual to easily remove the bottle for drinking and slide it back into the waistband without much effort. The contoured shape comfortably rests against the body so that runners/individuals sometime forget it is on the waistband.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2012Publication date: December 20, 2012Inventor: Brian David Hock

Publication number: 20080124625Abstract: The present invention relates to a casing 10 for a sealed bipolar battery 20, 30, 50, 55, 60 comprising at least one battery cell 21, wherein each cell have electrodes with non-metallic substrates. The casing comprises at least two parts, an upper part 12, 31, 41, 61 and a lower part 11, 51, 62, that are joined together to form the casing of the battery. A mechanically compliant arrangement are built-in to the casing to reduce the forces on the cell stack caused by changes in cell thickness during operation, and a pressure means are built-in to the casing to distribute the pressure across the cell stack.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2006Publication date: May 29, 2008Inventors: David Hock, Kurt Jensen, Neil Puester
