Publication number: 20240136537Abstract: Described herein are current collectors comprising metal grids as well as electrodes and lithium-metal cells comprising such current collectors and methods of fabricating such current collectors, electrodes, and lithium-metal cells. A thin current collector comprises a polymer base and a metal layer positioned on, directly interfaces, and supported by one side of the polymer base. A thin current collector also comprises a metal grid, which directly interfaces and is supported by the edge of the polymer base. The metal grid is electrically coupled to the metal layer, e.g., by overlapping or at least forming an interface with the metal layer. In an electrode that further comprises an active material layer supported on the metal layer, the metal grid extends away from the active material layer. In an electrochemical cell, the metal grid can be connected to the metal grids of other electrodes and/or cell tabs.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Cuberg, Inc.Inventors: Edward Meyjes, Katherine Hanus, Raven Barnes, David Britt

Patent number: 11946876Abstract: Improved inspection techniques are described herein for checking for the presence of and identifying surface defects on a honeycomb body. The improved inspection utilizes measurement of travel of an outer surface of the honeycomb body to collect images of the outer surface. The images are combined into a composite image showing the outer surface of the honeycomb body. The composite image is analyzed to identify surface defects.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Corning IncorporatedInventors: Joshua Andrew Barnes, Russell Wayne Madara, Robert Joseph O'Loughlin, Jr., Christie James Suber, Eric Daniel Treacy, Paul Edward Washburn, Michael Yen-Ting Wu, Xiaotian Zou

Patent number: 11935342Abstract: Activation of an automatic driving feature in a vehicle is detected by evaluating sequential vehicle operation data against subtractive and additive heuristic rules that define a likelihood of an automatic driving feature having been engaged as a function of vehicle performance. The sequential vehicle operation data, which does not include an explicit indication of whether the automatic driving feature was engaged, is provided for time intervals of a trip made by the vehicle. Automatic driving information is generated, which provides an indication of whether the automatic driving feature was engaged during a subset of the time intervals.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Avinew, Inc.Inventors: William Anderson Barnes, Randall C. Adams, Daniel R. Peate, Steven Anthony Bentz, G. Edward Combs

Patent number: 11534921Abstract: End effector assemblies for drilling a plurality of spaced-apart holes in a part, robots including the end effector assemblies, and associated methods are disclosed herein. The end effector assemblies include a first force application structure, an end effector, and a second force application structure. The first force application structure is configured to apply a first force to a surface of the part. The end effector is configured to selectively transition the first force application structure between a retracted state and an extended state and to selectively extend a drill bit into the part and subsequently retract the drill bit from the part. The second force application structure is configured to continuously apply a second force to the surface of the part while the first force application structure is in the retracted state and as the end effector assembly transitions from a first predetermined location to a second predetermined location.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventor: Charles Edward Barnes
