Abstract: There is described an electrochemical cell comprised of at least one flexible side wall attached to another side wall forming an electrolyte chamber and wherein one side wall is formed or provided with an air cathode mounted in spaced apart relationship to a metallic anode by a dielectric member and wherein battery assemblies may be produced by mounting a plurality of such electrochemical cells to each by support members with desired series or parallel electrical circuitry as required for intended duty.

Abstract: There is described an absorber assembly for alkali electrolyte solutions comprised of an absorber member including an alkali neutralizing compound disposed within a chamber of a porous material.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for laminating a metal-based anode member to one side of a conductive intermediate layer and an argentic oxide-containing layer to the other side thereof and using a plurality of such bipolar electrodes in a battery assembly defining a compartment for passage of an alkaline medium, such as seawater, or alkali.

Abstract: There is described an improved bipolar electrode comprised of an intermediate double-sided adhesive conductive plastic film or layer disposed between electronegative and electropositive layers wherein the intermediate layer has a volume resistivity of at least 0.5 ohm-cm. as well as a process for manufacturing same by passing a laminate of such layers through a pressure roller assembly at pressures between 30 to 500 psig.

Abstract: A battery powered light source comprising an electric light bulb; a plurality of air cathodes; a plurality of metal anodes, one for each cathode; a plurality of electrically nonconductive housings disposed adjacent to each other, wherein each housing encloses a respective chamber containing one cathode and one anode which are spaced from each other and form an anode-cathode pair and also encloses a cavity which is below the anode-cathode pair and is in fluid flow communication with the chamber, each housing having a portion defining at least one air passage from its chamber to an adjacent housing, and an opening through which a surface of the contained cathode is exposed to air in the passage. The housings are secured to each other in such arrangement that their respective air-passage-defining portions cooperatively define at least one common air passage. Circuit elements are provided for electrically connecting the anode-cathode pairs to each other and to the electric light bulb.
