By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News-A patent application by the inventors Rivera,Jav ier (Fremont,CA,US); Wang,Xiaoliang (Alameda,CA,US); Wang,Xuejun (Pleasant on,CA,US),filed on September 12,2022,was made available online on March 14,2024,according to news reporting originating from Washington,D.C.,by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution.The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: "Varying degrees of automation can be used for t he mass manufacture of well-defined coin cell batteries that are all exactly ali ke,and there are industrial coin cell battery ("coin cell") assembly lines that can be used for fixed workflows with strictly defined components and procedures . Partially or fully automated systems and components can include,for example,the MTI MSK-HT-16 coin cell crimping system made by MTI Corporation of Richmond,California. Another partially automated system can involve a fixed process that assembles the same components into multiple coin cells on a multiple coin cell assembly plate and then injects the same electrolyte material into each of the m ultiple coin cells on the plate. "Where variations are desired,however,there are no fully automated systems ava ilable for the assembly of coin cells formed from different or varying materials and/or components. Manual assembly techniques are thus used for research applic ations or other instances that require differences between coin cells. Tradition al variable coin cell formation can involve a technician putting together variou s coin cell parts (e.g.,anode case,spring,spacer,lithium,separator,etc.),dispensing an electrolyte into the partial assembly with a pipette,placing a ca thode case to close the coin cell,and then manually inserting the coin cell int o a crimper and waiting for the crimper to seal the coin cell. This whole proces s is often performed in an inert environment such as an argon filled glovebox.
