Abstract: Disclosed are pouch cells, for example lithium-ion pouch cells, where a portion of the inner volume of the pouch is substantially empty and there is subatmospheric pressure inside the pouch. In some embodiments gas released inside the pouch, for example during use of the cell, is accommodated in the substantially empty portion of the inner volume of the pouch, avoiding pouch bulging.

Abstract: A multiport valve suitable for use with a gas-turbine allowing switching of a mode of gas-turbine operation between a Brayton cycle and an inverse Brayton cycle, and a gas-turbine configured to switch between a high-pressure operation mode according to a Brayton cycle and a low-pressure operation mode according to an inverse Brayton cycle employing the valve are provided. Also provided are a method and apparatus for operating a gas-turbine according to an inverse Brayton cycle.
Abstract: Hybrid gas-turbine electric vehicles and methods for operating hybrid gas-turbine electric vehicles are provided that make use of the gas-turbine for efficiently providing cooling for the vehicle.
