Abstract: A rechargeable lithium-ion battery assembly configured to provide power to a forklift vehicle, the battery assembly including a plurality of battery modules integrated into the assembly, where each integrated battery module includes a plurality of battery cells within a module casing, with the cells being grouped and interconnected in both series and parallel to provide in combination an overall predetermined electrical potential between a positive terminal and a negative terminal for each module, and where each module uses two conductors within a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) as busbars, with the PCBA being disposed adjacent to a first end of each battery cell in the module and being electrically coupled by wire bonds with each battery cell, and the PCBA also having a processor (a battery management system, or BMS) for management control of the integrated module.

Abstract: A bolt including a torque section configured to self-release from a fastening tool upon reaching a threshold torque.

Abstract: Mid-span consolidators for consolidating aerial cables are provided. A mid-span consolidator includes an inner bushing. The inner bushing extends along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end and defines a length. The inner bushing further defines a plurality of slots, each of the plurality of slots extending between the first end and the second end and configured to accept one of the plurality of cables. The mid-span consolidator further includes an outer cover surrounding the inner bushing. The outer cover extends along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end and defines a length.

Abstract: Stabilizer compositions comprise phosphate of the formula I or II, a phosphite of the formula III, and a phenol of the formula IV as these formulas are defined herein. The stabilizer compositions are useful for stabilizing polymers. Methods for making stabilized polymer compositions involve intermixing the stabilizer compositions and the polymers, e.g., by extruding, pelletizing, and/or molding.

Abstract: There is disclosed a personal safety device having one or more lamps and lamp lenses located at the end of a body, and wherein pressure applied at least one lens causes a control circuit to initiate a mode of operation of the device.

Abstract: This invention relates to an UV stabilizing additive composition comprising an ortho-hydroxy triazine compound, a hindered hydroxybenzoate compound and optionally a hindered amine compound. This additive composition may be used to stabilize materials from UV radiation. This invention also contemplates a method of stabilizing a material by contacting the material with the UV stabilizing additive composition.
