Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Polymer-fused batteries are provided. The battery includes a casing, an anode coupled to the casing, an electrical source disposed between the casing and the anode, and a fuse over at least a portion of the anode. The polymer fuse comprises an electrically-conductive material formulated to decompose upon contact with a bodily fluid and to provide electrical communication between the anode cap and the electrical source when the polymer fuse is intact.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A battery comprising: a casing; an anode coupled to the casing; an electrical source disposed between the casing and the anode; and a polymer fuse over at least a portion of the anode, the polymer fuse comprising an electrically-conductive material formulated to provide electrical communication between the anode and the electrical source, said material becoming non-conductive upon contact with a bodily fluid. 2. The battery of cl…
