Abstract: Disclosed is a (safety) controller for a battery management system, a system and a method. The controller is arranged to provide control signals, receive an enable signal, receive a reset signal, and in response to the enable signal missing, perform a shutdown for the controller, and, based on the reset signal, cause a switch to be maintained in a closed position for connecting a battery to a load during the shutdown.

Abstract: A system for packaging and thermal management of battery cells in a battery module is provided. The battery module comprises at last one extruded aluminum or aluminum alloy profile (40) provided with a plurality of thermal transfer fins (42) arranged at a space from each other. A plurality of battery cells (1) is mounted in the at least one profile (40) in thermal contact with the thermal transfer fins (42). Thermal transfer medium is arranged in thermal contact with the at least one profile (40) so that thermal energy is conducted through the aluminum or aluminum alloy profile (40) so that thermal energy is conducted through the aluminum or aluminum alloy profile (40) from/to the battery cells (1) to/from the thermal transfer medium.

Abstract: A battery pack having one or more battery cells, a shell enclosing the one or more battery cells, wherein at least part of the shell is separated in space with one or more battery cells, and a fire preventing and restricting agent placed between the shell and one or more battery cells. The fire preventing and restricting agent includes thermally expandable agent which is capable of preventing, retarding and/or extinguishing a fire in the battery pack by filling the space between the shell and one or more battery cells.

Abstract: A convertible vehicle having an openable roof structure (1), said vehicle comprising a trunk lid (5), said trunk lid being supported by a guide linkage (6). The roof structure (1) is lowerable into a folding-top compartment (7) located in an upper region of the trunk (8) of the vehicle under said trunk lid. The vehicle also comprises a frame (9) on which said trunk lid (5) is articulated via said guide linkage (6). The frame (9) is supported to the lower rear end region of the bodywork by a flexural spring (10) enabling turning of the frame.

Abstract: Roof (1) of a convertible, divided into three substantially rigid roof sections, a forward roof section (2), a middle roof section (3) and a rearward roof section (4), hinged on each other in succession in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and arranged to be movable between a closed position (I) and an opened position (II). The rearward roof section (4) is pivotally connected to the body so as to be turnable by means of a main actuator (7). The middle roof section (3) is pivotally connected to the rearward roof section (4) and connected via a mechanical pivoted lever system (8) to the body and the rearward roof section of the convertible so that the middle roof section is turned by positive control together with the rearward roof section when the roof is being turned between the closed position (I) and the opened position (II).

Abstract: The invention concerns a folding top mechanism (1) for a convertible, a rollover protection system and a convertible. The top mechanism (1) is combined with a rollover bar (25) providing rollover protection, said rollover bar being pivotally connected to the top mechanism (1) so that it turns in synchronism with it, and that the rollover bar (25) forms a frame to which a rear window (4) is connected.

Abstract: A folding hard top (3) for a convertible, in which the rear end (10) of the forward top panel (6) has a first cut-out (14) extending in the widthwise direction of the vehicle across a substantial part of the width of the forward top panel. The front edge (15) of the first cut-out is located in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle at a first distance (1) from a first hinge axis (12) forward of said axis. The rearward top panel (7) comprises a second cut-out (16) formed in its front end (11) and extending in the widthwise direction of the vehicle through a substantial part of the width of the rearward top panel. The rear edge (17) of the second cut-out is located in the longitudinal direction at a second distance (L) from the first hinge axis (12) rearward of said axis. A middle top panel (8) is hinged on the rearward top panel (7) near the rear edge (17) of the second cut-out (16) so as to allow it to turn about a horizontal second hinge axis (18).

Abstract: Folding hard top structure for a convertible, said structure comprising substantially rigid roof panel parts (1, 2, 3) which, like the top of a saloon car, cover the passenger compartment of the convertible when the top is in a closed raised position (I) and which can be folded down to a lowered open position (II) leaving at least part of the passenger compartment uncovered, in which, in the raised position (I) of the car top, adjacent roof panel parts comprise a first roof panel part (1) having a first edge (4) and a second roof panel part (2) having a second edge (5) which, in the raised position (I) of the top, is fitted to butt against the first edge (4) of the first roof panel part (1), and which roof panel parts (1, 2) are apart from each other when the top is in the lowered open position (II).

Abstract: A locking device for locking in closed position the openable top (1) of an open automobile, comprising connected to a frame rib (3) of the top framework (2) of the openable top: a twisting handle (4), locking hooks (5), and a transmission (6) by which said locking hooks are connected with each other and with one joint twisting handle (4) for transmitting the motion of said twisting handle to said locking hooks in order to bring them simultaneously into opening position, respectively into locking position, and a fixing lug (8) connected to the body (7) of the open automobile and disposed for engagement with a locking hook. The transmission (6) comprises an angle drive (10) placed on the foremost frame rib (3) of the top framework of the openable top, which is operated in a plane substantially parallelling the top, i.e.
