The patent also includes claims for an electrochemical cell, an anode or cathode structure, and a method of forming a welded metal foil stack. [Extracted from the article]

A patent has been issued for a cartridge designed to hold dry vaporizable material, such as cannabis or tobacco, for use in vaporizers. The cartridge is shaped to fit into the oven of a vaporization device and has perforations on its sides to control airflow. It also features projections that allow for safe removal of the cartridge after vaporization. The cartridge can be made from aluminum foil and is recyclable, refillable, or disposable depending on the user's preference. [Extracted from the article]

A patent has been issued for a method of laser drilling metal foils for use in electrolytic capacitors. The invention aims to increase the energy density and reduce the size of capacitors used in implantable medical devices, such as implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). By using a laser to create tunnels through the metal foils, the arrangement and packing density of the tunnels can be controlled more effectively compared to traditional electrochemical etching methods. This technology has the potential to improve the performance and efficiency of electrolytic capacitors in various applications. [Extracted from the article]

A patent application has been filed by UACJ Corporation for a packaging material that can be used to create a subdivided bag with a detectable opening. The material includes a sheet with a pre-storing portion and a wiring pattern, which is arranged along the edges of the storing portion. The inventors found that the opening of the subdivided bag was less likely to be detected with existing technology, so they developed this new packaging material. The material can be transparent or semi-transparent and may include pre-sealing portions. The subdivided bag can have a belt shape with storing portions arranged along one direction. The packaging material also includes a breaking line between adjacent storing portions and a wiring pattern with cut portions. The inventors claim that this technology provides an effective packaging material for producing a subdivided bag with a detectable opening. [Extracted from the article]

A patent has been issued for an aluminum oxide layer on an anode foil for an aluminum electrolytic capacitor. The patent, assigned to Pacesetter Inc., describes a method of producing the oxide layer and a device that includes the layer. The invention aims to increase the energy density of capacitors used in implantable medical devices, such as implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), by minimizing the volume taken up by separators and cathodes and maximizing the number of anodes. The method involves immersing the anodic foil in a solution, inducing defects in the oxide layer, and reforming the layer into an aluminum oxide with a boehmite phase and a pseudo-boehmite phase.

BetaPod Inc. has been issued a patent for a system that includes a machine for preparing a smokable product from a portion capsule. The patent describes a capsule containing smokeable material, such as cannabis, and a machine that uses the capsule to create a smokeable product rolled in a rolling medium. The capsule has a bowl-shaped body with an open top and a rounded bottom, and a circular disc seals the top. The machine includes a tamper to puncture the capsule and transfer the smokeable material into the rolling medium. The patent also mentions the option for the capsule and disc to be made from biodegradable material. [Extracted from the article]
