  • ELECTRODE AND SEPARATOR STACKING MACHINES FOR HIGH-SPEED BATTERY PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20240136591
    Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of battery stacker machines, including z-fold stacker machines, configured to provide a rolling transfer of a battery layer so as to reduce scrubbing. In some embodiments, the layer is flexed onto an arcuate surface using a vacuum or other force. The arcuate surface is then rotated to release the layer at a desired transfer location. For instance, the desired transfer location may be on top of a stack or onto another arcuate gripper surface.

  • Gamma ray measurement of earth formation properties using a position sensitive scintillation detector
    Patent number: 4638158
    Abstract: A well logging system for measuring the radial density distribution of earth formations in the vicinity of a well borehole is provided. The system utilizes a single position sensitive gamma ray detector capable of deriving formation bulk density using the gamma-gamma scattering technique a different radial distances from the well borehole.
