  • Publication number: 20240421410
    Abstract: Battery protection circuit configurations are discussed which are detachable from the corresponding battery when the battery is scrapped or discarded. An apparatus includes a circuit substrate having interface elements configured to couple to tab terminals of a battery cell and output terminals configured to carry electrical current for the battery cell with respect to an external circuit. Each of the interface elements comprise an electrical contact that conductively contacts a mating tab terminal of the battery cell, and a releasable mechanism configured to hold the mating tab terminal against the electrical contact based at least on being placed in a locked state, and allow release the mating tab terminal based at least on being placed in an unlocked state.

  • Patent number: 10684662
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing enclosure, which at least sealingly contains an electronic component, a barrier, a pump, and a coolant. The electronic component is located on a substrate, while the barrier defines a circulation loop in which the coolant is exposed to the electronic component. The pump is positioned within the circulation loop to cause flow of the coolant through the circulation loop along one side of the at least one barrier in one direction and along an opposite side of the at least one barrier in an opposite direction.

  • Patent number: 10352314
    Abstract: A pump includes a main chamber and a pair of valves on opposite ends of the main chamber. At least a portion of the respective valves and of the main chamber is formed from a single, unitary piece. The respective valves each contain a freely movable member to permit selective opening and closing of each respective valve. A force applicator alternately induces a suction action and an expulsion action in the main chamber.

  • Patent number: 9193161
    Abstract: A printhead or other fluid handling device includes a firing chamber. Plural actuators are configured to cause fluid to be drawn into or ejected from the firing chamber. The actuators can also cause fluid to circulate within the firing chamber without appreciable fluid flow out of or into the firing chamber. Electronic signals independently control the respective actuators in accordance with various operating modes. Problems associated with fluid drying, separation of constituents within the fluid and other phenomenon are reduced or eliminated accordingly.
