Abstract: An aircraft includes a battery pack mounted inside the aircraft, a vent coupled between the battery pack and a surface of the aircraft to at least partly define a vent path between the battery pack and the surface of the aircraft, and a burst membrane located in the vent path. The vent may be coupled to a rear upper portion of a wing or to an outboard side of a nacelle. The aircraft may also include a flexible coupling between the vent and the surface of the aircraft. The aircraft may also include a fairing over a vent outlet to provide a smooth surface for the vent outlet. The battery pack may include battery modules and an enclosure, the battery modules and the enclosure defining paths along which discharge from a thermal event can flow towards the vent.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring environmental and geological conditions based upon information is collected by a wide array of sensors already included in modern motor vehicles. Also included is a system for monitoring environmental and geological conditions by aggregating data collected by an array of vehicles.

Abstract: A battery module has a lower housing and an upper housing. The lower housing has a plurality of generally vertical sidewalls defining a space for receiving a plurality of battery cells and a generally horizontal bottom wall. The plurality of sidewalls include a first sidewall. The lower housing further has a cooling plate integrally formed with the lower housing. The cooling plate has a support wall extending generally parallel to the bottom wall for supporting the plurality of battery cells, a plurality of generally vertical channel walls including a first channel wall, and a cooling channel for receiving a coolant fluid therein. At least a portion of the cooling channel is defined at sides thereof by the first sidewall and the first channel wall. The upper housing covers a top opening of the lower housing to form an enclosure for the plurality of battery cells.

Abstract: A battery pack including a plurality of battery cells and a battery housing defining a plurality of receptacles each configured to support a respective one of the plurality of battery cells is provided. A plurality of damping inserts are each arranged within a respective one of the plurality of receptacles and positioned between a respective one of the plurality of battery cells and the battery housing.

Abstract: A battery pack system includes a battery pack module having a plurality of sealed battery cell containers, each having at least one battery cell configured to store electrical energy and a port. The battery pack system further includes a battery pack management system having a controller and a plurality of sensors operatively connected to the controller. The battery pack system further has a cooling system having a coolant source, a fluid channel connecting the coolant source to the port of at least one of the plurality of sealed battery cell containers, and at least one valve operatively connected to controller. The controller is configured to receive a signal from one of the plurality of sensors indicative of an abnormal condition at one of the sealed battery cell containers and control the at least one valve to introduce coolant fluid into the sealed battery cell container.

Abstract: A remote locking system for an autonomous vehicle is disclosed. The locking system has a locking mechanism operably connected to an axle of the vehicle. The locking mechanism is selectively actuatable to prevent a power system from rotating the axle. The locking system also has a control station connected to the locking mechanism through a wireless network. The control station is configured to remotely actuate the locking mechanism. The power system is autonomously controlled by an electronic control system and the locking mechanism is independent from the electronic control system.
