  • Publication number: 20250259295
    Abstract: A method for a metric determination includes extracting one or more features from a plurality of images and classifying the plurality of images based on the extracted one or more features to form one or more clusters of images, wherein the classifying is performed at least in part based on machine learning. Hypothesis testing is performed on the one or more clusters of images based on one or more production factors and variations are identified in the one or more features resulting from the hypothesis testing. One or more production metrics are determined based on the identified variations.

  • Patent number: 12261310
    Abstract: A traction battery assembly includes, among other things, a plurality of battery cells disposed along an axis, an endplate at an axial end of the plurality of battery cells, and a corrugated area of the endplate. The corrugated area has a plurality of corrugations that flatten to accommodate expansion of the plurality of battery cells along the axis.

  • Patent number: 10461291
    Abstract: A battery cell includes an electrode, a terminal, and a current-interrupt device configured to electrically isolate the terminal from the electrode. The current-interrupt device includes a plate connected to the electrode and defining a hole, and a diaphragm connected to the terminal and joined to the plate forming a ceiling of the hole. A cover of the current-interrupt device is joined to the plate forming a floor of the hole. A dielectric fluid is disposed in the hole. The diaphragm and cover are configured to move toward the terminal, in response to pressure within the cell exceeding a threshold, to separate the diaphragm from the plate forming a gap therebetween and to release the fluid into the gap preventing current from arching across the gap.
