A lithium-ion polymer battery, and methods and apparatus for manufacturing the same, are disclosed. The methods include forming an anode with a porous material having spaces that contain an electrolytic solution, placing the anode surface in contact with a layer of lithium metal, and shorting the layer of lithium metal to a current collector so that lithium ions are released from the layer of lithium metal and forming SEI layer on the anode surface through the reaction with the electrolyte reduction products.

A lithium-ion polymer battery and method and apparatus for manufacturing the same, are disclosed. The battery includes an anode comprising a first electrolytic solution and a cathode comprising a second electrolytic solution, and the first and second electrolytic solutions are different. The method includes activating the anode and the cathode in the different electrolytic solutions prior to battery assembly and prior to forming an SEI layer on the anode surface.

A lithium-ion polymer battery, and methods and apparatus for manufacturing the same, are disclosed. The methods and apparatus include forming electrodes with porous material that have spaces, filling substantially all of the spaces in the electrodes with liquid and, after filling the spaces with liquid, forming an electrolyte polymer film on the electrode.

A lithium-ion polymer battery, and methods and apparatus for manufacturing the same, are disclosed. The methods include placing a bottom surface of an electrode on a coating surface, such that a top surface of the electrode is exposed, forming a removable retention boundary on the coating surface and surrounding the electrode, including a space between the electrode edges and the retention boundary, depositing polymer electrolyte solution on the electrode, on the coating surface, and within the retention boundary, and allowing the polymer electrolyte solution to dry until all of the deposited polymer electrolyte solution becomes a solid polymer composite that extends beyond the electrode edges.

A cutting device for cutting an objection such as a citrus fruit includes a cutting assembly and an outer casing about the cutting assembly. The casing is generally cylindrical having a central axis, and has open ends. The cutting blade assembly includes a first cutting blade extending radially outward from the central axis to a sidewall of the casing, the first cutting blade cutting the fruit in a manner so as to completely sever one portion thereof from another. The cutting assembly further includes a second cutting blade extending outwardly radially from the central axis toward the sidewall of the casing, but not reaching the sidewall, the second cutting blade cutting the object in a manner so as to partially sever one portion of the object from another. In use, the fruit is introduced into the cutting device at the first open end, is forced over the cutting assembly, and exits the cutting device at the second end. The invention also describes a scooping device for use on a fruit having a generally spherical shape with an outer peel and an inner edible portion.

A second cutting blade extends outwardly radially from the central axis towards the side wall of the casing, but does not reach the side wall. The second cutting blade partially severs one portion of the object from another. In use, fruit if forced over the cutting assembly. A scooping device is provided which generally comprises a hemispherical-shaped scooping member with a dome and a substantially circular edge which forms a cutting blade. The scooping device has a shaft extending outwardly from a point on the outer surface so that rotation of the shaft causes rotation of the scooping member thereby removing the edible inner portion of the fruit.

A method of peeling and segmenting a fruit which has an interior portion and a peel about the interior portion comprises forcing the fruit through a cutting assembly. While passing through the cutting assembly, the fruit is separated into at least two portions, each completely severed from the other. Additionally, each separated portion is also partially severed through the interior portion. The separated portions of the fruit are placed in contact with a scooping device which is then rotated so that the interior portion of the fruit is scooped out and separated from the peel. The portions so scooped out are comprised of two or more segments each in which is substantially separate from the remaining segments.
