Abstract: A battery cell macromodule housing having a housing shell comprising two longitudinal walls and two end walls, the longitudinal walls being arranged perpendicular to the end walls, and the longitudinal walls and the end walls each being parallel to and spaced apart from each other so that the walls annularly enclose the interior space. The housing shell further has a plurality of positioning indentations formed on the inner sides of the walls, respectively, for positioning a battery cell perpendicular to the passage plane enclosed by the walls. The positioning indentations in the end walls are spaced further apart than the positioning indentations in the longitudinal walls.

Abstract: An energy storage module for storing electric energy, comprising an energy storage device having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a substantially rectangular outer periphery.

Abstract: Battery cell module for electrically operated vehicles, which has a plurality of elongated, in particular cylindrical, battery cells whose longitudinal axes are aligned parallel to one another, the battery cells being arranged in such a way that a first row of battery cells runs parallel to a second row of battery cells, so that in each case two battery cells are arranged opposite one another in pairs, the respectively opposite battery cells being electrically and mechanically rigidly connected to one another by means of at least one contact sheet in each case. In each case adjacent contact sheets are rigidly connected to one another electrically and mechanically by means of at least one contact sheet connector in each case.

Abstract: A solid-state MOPA includes a mode-locked laser delivering a train of pulses. The pulses are input to a fast E-O shutter, including polarization-rotating elements, polarizing beam-splitters, and a Pockels cell that can be driven alternatively by high voltage (HV) pulses of fixed long and short durations. A multi-pass amplifier follows the E-O shutter. The E-O shutter selects every Nth pulse from the input train and delivers the selected pulses to the multi-pass amplifier. The multi-pass amplifier returns amplified seed-pulses to the E-O shutter. The shutter rejects or transmits the amplified pulses depending on whether the HV-pulse duration is respectively short or long. Transmitted amplified pulses are delivered to a transient amplifier configured for separately suppressing first-pulse over-amplification and residual pulse leakage.
