Abstract: An electrical energy store for storing electrical energy for a motor vehicle, having a plurality of storage cells which are configured to store the electrical energy and which each have a cell housing which delimits a receiving space, and a line element through which a temperature-control liquid can flow and which extends through the receiving space, wherein the storage cells are retained with a cell holder which is constructed separately from the storage cells and which at least limits relative movements between the storage cells, and which has domes through which the temperature-control liquid can flow and which are inserted into the line elements, and via which the temperature-control liquid can be introduced into the line elements and/or discharged from the line elements.

Abstract: A container for storing a fluid may have one or more of the following features: container walls which define a cavity for storing the fluid, and a positioning system via which at least one component inside the cavity can be positioned in a guided manner.

Abstract: A water tank device for an internal combustion engine with water injection, includes a water tank with an internal volume, which is at least partly delimited by a tank wall and in which a liquid is stored for the water injection in the internal combustion engine, and a filter device, which is designed to clean fuel vapor from a fuel tank of the internal combustion engine. The filter device has a heat transfer surface. The filter device is closed so as to be fluid-tight against the liquid which can be received in the internal volume. The filter device is arranged on the water tank such that a heat exchange with the liquid which can be stored in the water tank is facilitated via the heat transfer surface.

Abstract: A fuel tank for receiving a fluid in a motor vehicle. The fuel tank includes an outer wall forming an internal space for receiving the fluid. At least one volume element is arranged in the internal space for receiving air, and an opening that is a gas-guiding line between the volume element and the environment of the tank is for changing the volume of the volume element. The at least one volume element is formed at least partially as bellows.

Abstract: A light detection and ranging (Lidar) system includes a light emitter that emits light into a field of illumination and a photodetector that has a field of view that overlaps the field of illumination. The system detects the emitted light that is reflected by an object in the fields of view. The system independently adjusts the vertical and/or horizontal aim of the field of illumination and the vertical field of view to align the field of illumination and the field of view.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tank, in particular a fuel tank, for receiving a liquid in a motor vehicle, comprising an outer wall that forms an internal space for receiving the liquid, at least one volume element situated in the internal space for receiving gas, in particular air, a gas-guiding line between the volume element and the surroundings of the tank for changing the volume of the volume element, and at least one stabilizing assembly for minimizing stresses at kinks of the volume element when evacuating the volume element.

Abstract: A vibrating member adapted for use in a vibrating densitometer is provided. The vibrating member comprises a base and a vibrating tube portion affixed to the base. The vibrating tube portion comprises an inner diameter and an outer diameter, wherein the inner diameter is axially shifted from the outer diameter such that the inner diameter is not concentric with the outer diameter, and wherein the axial shift increases a frequency separation between vibration modes in the vibrating tube portion.
