Publication number: 20210057734Abstract: Materials and novel methods for producing carbon anodes for Li-ion batteries are described. These materials use natural flake graphite that has been processed to improve physical properties but retains residual impurities including silicates and other silicon containing minerals that are difficult to eliminate economically. For the purposes of battery anode material production, further purification is required and traditionally uses hydrofluoric acid, adding significant cost and environmental management requirements. Alternate novel processes result in less costly and more environmentally friendly methods when compared against the standard acid purification with hydrofluoric acid. Methods for direct graphitization of unpurified spheroidized graphite material that includes a carbonaceous coating in production of a lithium ion battery anode are provided. Materials generated using these methods may be blended with artificial graphite and particulate Silicon or SiOx materials for enhanced properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2020Publication date: February 25, 2021Applicant: Syrah Resources LimitedInventors: Camila de Savio Silva, Peter Ian Barnes, Jens Berkan, Joseph Russell Williams, Richard V.

Patent number: 10232796Abstract: The present invention relates to a supporting device (101, 201) for a tablet computer (105). The device (101, 201) includes a barrel (107) having an opening (111) for receiving an edge of the tablet computer (105). The device (101, 201) has a housing (106) and means (109) for rotatably mounting the barrel (107). The barrel (107) is rotatable about a longitudinal axis (X) between a first position in which the opening (111) is at least partially covered by the housing and at least a second position in which the opening (111) is exposed to receive the tablet computer (105). The housing (106) can, for example, take the form of a table. The supporting device (101, 201) can be provided in a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2014Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: Jaguar Land Rover LimitedInventor: Ian Barnes

Patent number: 9849818Abstract: A deployable table apparatus for a vehicle includes a support arm and a carrier member. The carrier member is mounted to the support arm and is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A table is mounted to the carrier member and is pivotable between a first position suitable for stowage and a second position suitable for use. A biasing mechanism is provided for biasing the carrier member towards the extended position. Movement of the carrier member from the extended position to the retracted position is inhibited when the table is in the second position. Pivoting the table to the second position is inhibited when the carrier member is in the retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2014Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: Jaguar Land Rover LimitedInventor: Ian Barnes

Publication number: 20160272098Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention there is provided a deployable table apparatus (1) for a vehicle (7). The apparatus includes a support arm (17) and a carrier member (19). The carrier member (19) is mounted to the support arm (17) and is movable between a retracted position and an extended position. A table (3) is mounted to the carrier member (19) and is pivotable between a first position suitable for stowage and a second position suitable for use. A biasing mechanism (23) is provided for biasing the carrier member (19) towards said extended position. At least in certain embodiments, movement of the carrier member (19) from said extended position to said retracted position is inhibited when the table (3) is in said second position. Furthermore, at least in certain embodiments, pivoting the table (3) to said second position is inhibited when the carrier member (19) is in said retracted position. The invention also relates to a vehicle (7) incorporating the apparatus (1).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2014Publication date: September 22, 2016Inventor: Ian Barnes
