  • Vehicle digital cut loop
    Patent number: 11987140
    Abstract: The present solution provides a digital first responder cut loop. The present solution can include a system comprising a control unit executing instructions and configured to generate a signal through a harness of an electric vehicle. The signal can be indicative of a state of a cut loop of the electric vehicle. The control unit can be electrically connected to restraint control module and a battery pack associated with the electric vehicle. The controller can be configured to detect an event associated with the vehicle or a change in the signal above a threshold level. The controller can be configured to, responsive to the detection of one of the event or the change in the signal, facilitate electrical disconnection of the restraint control module of the electric vehicle or the battery pack of the electric vehicle.

  • Busbars having stamped fusible links
    Patent number: 11984621
    Abstract: A battery interconnect may include a desired current capacity, integrated fusible links, and be manufacturable using cost effective techniques. In some embodiments, a battery interconnect includes a busbar and relatively thinner links. A busbar carries larger currents and accordingly its cross-sectional areas are relatively larger to reduce ohmic losses. A link carries a much smaller current, and a fusible link is configured to break the circuit when the current is above a threshold, thus requiring a relatively small cross-sectional area. These sometime disparate length scales are addressed using several techniques such as layering a busbar and a foil sheet and pressing portions of a busbar to form the links. The links can be affixed to a plurality of battery cells to connect the cells in parallel or series.
