  • Electrode impregnation and bonding
    Patent number: 7102877
    Abstract: A method for making an electrode including a particle based film is disclosed in which the film is coated and/or impregnated with veins of conductive material. A support backing is placed adjacent to one side of the film to provide support and prevent damaging the film while the conductive material is applied onto the opposite side of the film. The film is bonded directly to a current collector of an energy storage device.

  • Device for accumulating electrical energy composed of a winding of superimposed strips and method of production
    Patent number: 6525924
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for accumulation of electrical energy. The device is a substantially cylindrical winding of strips. At least one strip is a strip conductor. The device is defined transversally by a substantially cylindrical lateral face and longitudinally by two opposite end faces. Each of the two opposite end faces contains an edge of the strip conductor. In the device, at least one of the edges of at least one strip conductor contains a plurality of teeth. The teeth are disposed on at least one of the end faces and form at least one set in which they are substantially superimposed in a predetermined direction, approximately perpendicular to a plane tangent to the cylindrical face. The teeth constitute a group of elements of electrical connection to a terminal and in which each element extends itself in continuity with the strip conductor which comprises the element.
