  • Thermal interconnects for coupling energy storage devices
    Patent number: 7859826
    Abstract: A thermally fitted interconnect couples energy storage cells without the use of additional materials of fasteners. Variations of the interconnect can be used to facilitate fitting of multiple energy storage cell with multiple cell to cell spacings in a rapid and inexpensive manner.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 6, 2008
    Date of Patent: December 28, 2010
    Assignee: Maxwell Technologies, Inc.
    Inventors: Guy C. Thrap, James L. Borkenhagen, Mark Wardas, Adrian Schneuwly, Philippe Lauper

  • Electrically controlled display material
    Publication number: 20070188873
    Abstract: A display window for selectively passing illumination emanating from one or more artificial light source is described to comprise a display material with a transparency that may be controlled to pass a substantially constant amount of the illumination from the one or more artificial light source and through the display material regardless of the amount of the illumination.

  • High numerical aperture objective lens manufacturable in wafer form
    Patent number: 6049430
    Abstract: A composite micro-lens for use in an optical or magneto-optical information storage system, made up of one or more lens elements which, when coupled in assembly, provide a desired numerical aperture. The design may provide, if necessary, a photo resist lens, a shaped ball lens, or one or more contoured surfaces within the composite construction to correct for aberrations. The composite lens designed in this manner allowing for the use of wafer-level assembly processes to provide high volume production capabilities. It is further intended that this micro-lens design support integration in an optical or magneto-optical head design.
