Publication number: 20210151731Abstract: A battery cell may include a lid, a case, a jellyroll, and a gasket. The lid may include a first pin and a second pin. The case may form a chamber when sealed with the lid. The jellyroll may include a negative electrode having a negative electrode tab and a positive electrode having a positive electrode tab. The jellyroll may be disposed inside the chamber. The negative electrode tab may couple with the first pin to form a negative terminal of the battery cell and the positive electrode tab may couple with the second pin to form a positive terminal of the battery cell. The gasket may partially encase each of the negative electrode tab and the positive electrode tab to prevent a contact between the negative electrode tab, the positive electrode tab, and/or the case of the battery cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2020Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Jiang Fan, David Christian, Gerardo Jimenez

Publication number: 20170132431Abstract: Methods, apparatus and system to access personal data of a consumer (generated when said user is operating with a first service provider) by a second service provider, maintaining the privacy of the consumer. The proposed invention allows accessing data belonging to a certain consumer (for example, data generated when using a certain telecommunications service) by another entity providing services to the user (for example a bank) without sending the personal identification of the consumer. The proposed invention adds more flexibility, saves resources and increases scalability, efficiency and privacy.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2016Publication date: May 11, 2017Inventors: Rubén GONZALEZ BLANCO, David LOPEZ MIGUEL, Francisco MAYORAL SANTOS, Gerardo JIMENEZ TORNOS

Patent number: 7301755Abstract: Power converters such as power modules configured as inverters employ modularized approaches. In some aspects, semiconductor devices are thermally coupled directly to thermally conductive substrates without intervening dielectric or insulative structures. Additionally, or alternatively, semiconductor devices are thermally coupled to thermally conductive substrates with relatively large surface areas before heat transferred from the semiconductor devices encounters a dielectric or electrically insulating structure with correspondingly high thermal impedance.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2004Date of Patent: November 27, 2007Assignee: Siemens VDO Automotive CorporationInventors: Pablo Rodriguez, Douglas K. Maly, Ajay V. Patwardhan, Kanghua Chen, Sayeed Ahmed, Gerardo Jimenez, Fred Flett
