  • Publication number: 20050058900
    Abstract: A battery pack containing a plurality of battery modules, said modules comprising a plurality of individual battery units, said battery units comprising a plurality of bicells with opposing terminals. The battery modules are connected in series by use of a flexible circuit and by opposing positive and negative terminals of each battery unit. The terminals of each battery unit contain a region of apertures which allow the adhesive of the packaging material to seal more effectively, thereby eliminating or reducing the amount of leakage from an individual battery unit.

  • Patent number: 6029584
    Abstract: A furniture assembly is made up of a base member, an intermediate member, an upper member and several flexible connectors which join the base, intermediate and upper member. The base can have a central opening provided therein having a continuous inner surface and the intermediate member can have a continuous outer surface which corresponds to the continuous inner surface of the base. The flexible connectors pass through openings provided in the intermediate member and fixes the relative positions of the base member, upper member and intermediate member by resilient forces.
