Abstract: A system and method to prevent fires in electric vehicles. The system reduces thermal runaway in vehicle battery pack by controlling nitrogen-enriched air (“NEA”) to a predetermined oxygen concentration to prevent fires and/or explosions in battery packs. The oxygen content of an electric vehicle battery pack is detected using an oxygen sensor. A controller determines whether the oxygen content exceeds a predetermined threshold. Based upon this determination, electrochemical gas separation and inerting system is activated to generate NEA. The system delivers the NEA to the battery pack until the oxygen content no longer exceeds the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the division of an individual input source log into discrete longitudinal lengths for subsequent processing. The process comprises receiving an individual input source log, dividing the input source log into one or a plurality of output log portions of a predetermined length, wherein at least a portion of said output log portions resultant from said division are of a substantially equal or substantially constant or consistent longitudinal length, and wherein said substantially equal or substantially constant or consistent longitudinal length output log portions are procured as a feed stream of log material for a subsequent processing step. This process provides for the processing of logs and subsequent assembly into an end product formed from a composite of sticks derived from said processed logs.

Abstract: A dolly structured for transport of component parts bins to and from plant floor work sites includes a base and a carousel rotatably connected to the base. The carousel has a pair of opposed open sides, with each side structured to enable an entire array or arrangement of component parts bins to be loaded or unloaded onto the carousel at the same time. The dolly also incorporates a first locking mechanism structured to lock the carousel in any of four orientations spaced apart at intervals of 90° during rotation of the carousel. The arrangement described provides flexibility in loading and unloading the carousel with parts bins, decreases the total amount of space needed to load and unload the dolly, and the amount of space needed to maneuver the dolly into a position and orientation that is usable by a worker on the assembly line, and improves user safety.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a prefabricated infilled panel-frame structure capable of accommodating seismic-loading and seismic energy dissipation, and a construction method thereof, including a frame body, a prefabricated infilled panel group, a panel connector, and a disc spring assembly. During an earthquake, the present invention slides to dissipate energy only after the maximum starting sliding force is exceeded, thus providing the structure with a relatively high lateral stiffness prior to sliding. After an earthquake, the disc spring assembly of the present invention may provide a certain restoring force due to being compressed so as to reduce the residual displacement. Further, the present invention achieves the bidirectional deformation cooperation of the prefabricated infilled panel under earthquakes, so that the infilled panel may still achieve the function of seismic energy dissipation under the coupling action of in-plane and out-of-plane loads.
