Patent number: 10153094Abstract: Supercapacitor structures are provided which include, for example: one or more layers of supercapacitors; and one or more contact tabs. The one or more contact tabs electrically contact and extend outward from the supercapacitor structure to facilitate electrical connection to the supercapacitor structure, and the one or more contact tabs include a multi-contact tab. The multi-contact tab is configured and sized with multiple contact locations which are disposed external to the supercapacitor structure. Various supercapacitor structures are provided, including one supercapacitor structure with a shared C-shaped current collector, and another supercapacitor structure with stacked supercapacitors. One or more additional multi-contact tabs may also extend from the supercapacitor structure(s) and distribute the same or a different capacitor voltage than the multi-contact tab.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: THE PAPER BATTERY CO.Inventors: Shreefal Mehta, Anthony Sudano, Dave Rich, Renato Friello

Patent number: 9831533Abstract: Energy storage structures and fabrication methods are provided. The method include: providing first and second conductive sheet portions separated by a permeable separator sheet, and defining, at least in part, outer walls of the energy storage structure, the first and second surface regions of the first and second conductive sheet portions including first and second electrodes facing first and second (opposite) surfaces of the permeable separator sheet; forming an electrolyte receiving chamber, defined, at least in part, by the first and second surface regions, including: bonding the first and second conductive sheet portions, and the permeable separator sheet together with at least one bonding border forming a bordering frame around at least a portion of the first and second electrodes; and providing an electrolyte within the electrolyte receiving chamber, including in contact with the first and second electrodes, with the electrolyte being capable of passing through the permeable separator sheet.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: The Paper Battery Co.Inventors: Shreefal Sudhir Mehta, Anthony Sudano, Renato Friello, Sudhir Rajaram Kulkarni, Dave Rich

Publication number: 20030175001Abstract: An electronically variable fiber optic attenuator is disclosed for adjustably extracting optical energy from a single, side-polished fiber optic, and therefore attenuating the optical signal being transmitted through the fiber optic. In one aspect, material is removed from a portion of the fiber optic, thereby exposing a surface through which optical energy can be extracted. A slab of material is positioned over the exposed surface of the fiber optic with a liquid overlay disposed therebetween. An actuator applies a force to the slab of material to deform or bend the slab of material into and out of the evanescent field of the fiber optic for extracting the optical energy.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2002Publication date: September 18, 2003Inventors: Brian L.
