Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymer for a non-aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery, an electrode slurry for a rechargeable battery and a rechargeable battery comprising the same.

Abstract: A support member (14) for rotatably coupling a first element to a second element. The support member includes a sleeve (50) for rotatably supporting the first element, and a flange (56) having a concave central portion. The flange (56) is coupled to the sleeve (50). The flange (56) has bearing surfaces (68a, 68b) formed thereon along which the flange (56) is mounted to the second element. In one embodiment, the first element is a spindle (12) of a vehicle wheel assembly (11) and is rotatably supported in the sleeve (50) by rollable bearing elements positioned therein. Multiple tapered lobes (64) extend outwardly from the sleeve (50), and the support member (14) is mounted to a vehicle via bearing surfaces (68a, 68b) along the lobes (64).

Abstract: A separator for a bearing comprising a frame including a plurality of cavities for receiving rolling elements and further including a lubrication channel in fluid communication with at least one of the plurality of cavities. This separator may be a component of a bearing including an inner race, an outer race, and a plurality of rolling elements disposed in each of the plurality of cavities of the separator and set to be in movable contact with the outer race and inner race of the bearing. A lubricant is introduced into the lubrication channel and flows into each of the plurality of cavities which provides evenly distributed lubrication to each rolling element of the bearing assembly.
