    Abstract: An electronic device having a circuit board and a battery is disclosed. The circuit board may include a through hole and an electrical pad surrounding the through hole. In order to electrically couple the circuit board to the battery, and in particular, an electrode of the battery, a tab (or plaque) is placed between the electrical pad and the electrode. The tab electrically couples with the electrical pad by a soldering operation. To couple (electrically and mechanically) the tab with the electrode, a welding operation is used. The welding operation may include a laser weld providing thermal energy through a laser beam. In this regard, the laser beam passes through the through hole, thereby (partially) melting the tab and forming a weld between the tab and the electrode. Accordingly, the tab covers the through hole such that the tab is positioned to receive the laser beam.

    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a battery pouch that includes a cavity. The battery pouch also includes a first transition between a first side of the battery pouch and a second side of the battery pouch. The first side of the battery pouch includes a first sealed portion having a minimum threshold distance between the cavity and the edge of the battery pouch. More specifically, the first sealed portion is located between a first outer edge of the cavity and a first outer edge of the battery pouch. The battery pouch also includes a second side having a second sealed portion with minimum threshold distance. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for hanking a cable are disclosed. A hanked cable may be formed by winding the cable around two or more mandrels attached to support members of a winding fixture. At least one of the mandrels can be removeably attached to the winding fixture to facilitate clamping the cable between the mandrel and the support member. The distance between mandrels may be varied by including, in the winding fixture, an adjustable stage for adjusting the relative positions of the mandrels. Once the cable is wound into a hanked configuration, it may be wrapped with a semi-rigid wrapping member to help retain the hanked shape.

    Abstract: Battery assemblies, as well as methods and processes for forming same. A battery assembly can include a first tab electrically connected to a first terminal of a battery and a second tab electrically connected to a second terminal of the battery. A battery assembly can also include a first conductive path (aka first section) having a first end, and a second conductive path (aka second section) having a second end. Another end of the first conductive path can be coupled an electronic device, such as an electric circuit. Another end of the second conductive path can be coupled to the electronic device as well. A space separates the first and second ends; the space formed by removing at least one portion of a U-shaped conductive path. The first conductive path and the first battery tab are connected. The second conductive path and the second battery tab are also connected.
