Abstract: A housing having a first portion and a second portion for holding a cable device presenting a plurality of cables extending to a communication plate extending to an output outlet to cooperate with external devices. A locking device defined in the second portion to receive the plurality of cables and prevent movement of the plurality of cables relative within the housing. The housing is formed from metals, metal alloys, and combination thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for determining the remaining service life of electrochemical energy generation and storage device including batteries, supercapacitors, DSSC solar cells and fuel cell. Measurements are performed by passing ultrasonic oscillations through the test object. The apparatus of the present invention comprises two arrays of transmitting and receiving ultrasonic probes between which the object being tested is affixed. Polyurethane tips are used for matching the acoustic resistance of the probes with the test object body. The apparatus positions the transmitting and the receiving probe arrays relative to each other. The calibration characteristic for determining the remaining service life of a the test object are established from the signal values from the ultrasonic probes related to the number of charge-discharge cycles obtained at various charge values.
