Abstract: Inspection robots with removeable interface plates and method for configuring payload interfaces are described. An example robot may include a payload, with at least one sensor, mounted to a housing of the inspection robot. The housing may include a removeable interface plate coupled to the at least one sensor and to an electronic board, the electronic board positioned within the housing. The removeable interface plate may define an electrical coupling interface compatible with the payload, and the electronic board may include an electrical processing configuration compatible with the payload.

Abstract: An electrolyte is introduced into an electrochemical device, passed, via a first corrugation feature, through a first electrode of the electrochemical device, passed through an ion permeable separator, and contacted with a second electrode. The first or second electrode comprises a second corrugation feature in fluid communication with the first corrugation feature to contact the electrolyte across a portion of an active surface of the first or second electrode.

Abstract: The patent application relates generally to a thermal isolation material, more particularly to a thermal isolation material having at least an intumescent layer and a refractory layer. The intumescent and refractory layers are generally stacked on top of one other. The patent application also generally relates to a method of making the thermal isolation material that includes the steps of providing a substrate having opposing first and second sides, applying an intumescent material to the substrate and applying a refractory material to the substrate to form a thermal isolation material, where the one following can be true: (i) the intumescent material is applied on the first side and wherein the refractory material is applied on the second side; (ii) the intumescent material is positioned between the substrate and the refractory material and (ii) the refractory material is positioned between the substrate and the intumescent material.
